Vilitra 10mg (Vardenafil) Tablets

Description

Vilitra 10mg Tablets Overview

Vilitra 10mg tablets are a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. Vilitra 10mg contains vardenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that helps improve blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection during sexual stimulation.

Mechanism of Action

Erectile dysfunction typically occurs due to inadequate blood flow to the penis, often associated with various health conditions or psychological factors. Vilitra 10mg works by inhibiting the action of PDE5, an enzyme responsible for breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By inhibiting PDE5, vardenafil helps to maintain higher levels of cGMP in the penis. This relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow results in an erection when a man is sexually aroused.
