Levitra tablets contain the active ingredient Vardenafil – a PDE-5 inhibitor, which works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the blood vessels, increasing the blood flow to the penis. PDE5 is an enzyme found in most men suffering from ED and suppresses another important substance – cGMP, or cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which is a crucial component in the process of maintaining a healthy erection.

When there’s too much PDE5 and not enough cGMP, your body simply cannot interpret the signals coming from your nerve endings, which makes maintaining an erection harder to achieve. Levitra Orodispersible differs from Levitra medication by the fact that it works quickly and is easy to use. The tablets should be placed in the mouth on the tongue, where they will rapidly disintegrate, and then swallowed.

Levitra lasts for a similar amount of time as Viagra; however, Levitra tends to be less affected by food or alcohol, so can be taken with meals.

Side effects for both Levitra and Cialis are almost identical.

These include: Facial flushing Stuffy or runny nose pain in your

I am 54 and began having dificulties keeping an erection a several years ago, not every time but often enough to hurt my confidence and decrease the incidence down to once every couple of weeks. I use 5-10mg and 30-45 min later I have a slight feeling of dizziness that seems to signal I am ready. Effects usually last 12 hrs or so, and can include some serious "morning wood" ;-) Only side effect is some slight stuffiness at times. Has really given me the confidence to take things slow and enjoy myself. I was having problems maintaining my erection which led to a loss of confidence and also of course affected my relationships.

I have diabetes 2 and high BP both well under control with medication, so on medical advice take Levitra 20mg when needed.

I need maybe 1 hour advance notice and, as it says on the packet, stimulation, to work, so instant sex is out. But once erect, my penis is as big and firm as in my youth, the erections are long-lasting and for the first time for a long time, easy to repeat over the next day or so. At age 61 experienced loss of morning erections and no erection from stimulus at all.

dose get's me prepared for spouse, but drug works best if four hours elapse after taking.

I am 74 years old and also had radical prostectomy.

Tried all, Levitra is effective with least side effects. Experimented and found smallest imaginable dose that works well but with least side effects.

Normally works well in about 15-30 minutes, just wait for a little mild flushing.

Sometimes take a little pinch night before and then tiny bit in morning to get ready.

Flushing and head congestion are the worst side effects.

The drug is expensive, The erection can almost be too intense, making it hard to ejaculate.
