Levitra
What is Levitra?
Levitra (vardenafil HCl) is a PDE-5 inhibitor and is the newest treatment option available for 30 million men in Europe affected by erectile dysfunction (impotence).
How does Levitra work?
Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the penis to relax, which effectively increases blood flow.
Who makes it?
Levitra is made by Bayer of Germany and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) plc of the UK. In November 2001, Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) signed a worldwide co-promotion and co-development agreement to launch a new treatment for men seeking to improve their erectile function. Since then, both companies have been working together on the development of Levitra.
With these companies strong histories in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, the Bayer and GSK co-promotion represents a powerful partnership committed to improving mens health through new treatment options.
What is the normal recommended dosage?
The suggested dose is to start with 10mg of Levitra, and to adjust the strength depending on the results. However, the doctor may override your selection if he/she feels that based on your medical circumstances a different dose is more suitable.
What are the side effects of taking Levitra?
Whilst the side effects may not affect everybody and may vary from patient to patient, the most commonly reported side effects are headaches, flushing, rhinitis and flu.
Has Levitra been approved in the UK?
Levitra was approved on March 7, 2003, by the European Commission and it has now been approved for the UK. This was based on the quality, safety and efficacy data submitted. These data included results from more than 3,750 men representing a broad patient population.
What are the differences between Viagra and Levitra?
Levitra generally comes in smaller doses (5, 10, and 20mg), has fewer side effects, and delivers a faster reaction time than Viagra. In clinical research, patients taking Levitra began experiencing results in 30 minutes or less.
How long does Levitra stay active within your body?
In tests, Levitra stayed active and working in the system for an average of 12 hours in patients 65 years or older and 9 and a half hours in younger participants. Clinical studies have shown that Viagra has the ability to remain in the system for up to 4 hours.
