Vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra).
In August 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave approval to a second oral medicine, after Viagra, for erectile dysfunction treatment. This is vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra). Cialis has been the third one in the range of these drugs which are referred to as selective enzyme inhibitors.
Vardenafil hydrochloride acts rapidly and produces consistent results. When taken about an hour before sexual activity, Levitra works by improving the effects of nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis and allows increased blood flow, in order to enhance and sustain erection. The erection itself does not occur automatically but requires sexual stimulation.
Studies have shown that men of every age can be benefited from Levitra and it is prescribed for individuals who suffer from mild or moderate erectile dysfunction, especially if it has been caused by diabetic neuropathy or it is present due to radical prostatectomy. Vardenafil hydrochloride does not seem to have any effect in women.
Although Levitra is available in 5mg and 10mg pills, the 20mg preparations are the most typically used. You can find Levitra online by clicking the

Recommended dose for Levitra.
The recommended dose for Levitra is 10mg, and a healthcare provider may adjust this dose to 20mg, if 10mg is insufficient. Lower doses of 5mg and 2.5mg may be prescribed for patients who take other medicines or suffer from conditions that can

The medicine should not be used more than once a day and it is recommended to be taken on an empty stomach for a better absorption within the gastrointestinal track. Heavy and especially fatty meals may reduce the rate of absorption.
