Vilitra 20mg (Vardenafil) Tablets

Description

• Vilitra 20mg Tablets Overview

  Vilitra 20mg tablets are medications primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a common condition where men have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Vilitra 20mg contains vardenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that helps increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, thereby facilitating an erection.

  Mechanism of Action

  Erectile dysfunction typically occurs due to insufficient blood flow to the penis, often attributed to various underlying health conditions or psychological factors. Vilitra 20mg 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, promoting relaxation of blood vessels and increasing blood flow, which results in an erection when a man is sexually stimulated.

  Dosage and Administration

  • Dosage: Vilitra is available in different strengths, including 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 60mg. The recommended starting dose for Vilitra 20mg is typically determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual response to the medication.
