Levitra 60 Mg

About Levitra 60 mg

Erectile Dysfunction is an inability in men to get an erection.

To treat this condition, doctors generally prescribe Levitra tablets.

Levitra contains Vardenafil, which improves the blood circulation in the penis.

The improved blood circulation will aid in attaining an erection when you are sexually aroused.

Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals manufactures different strengths of Levitra, such as 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg.

Uses of Levitra

As mentioned, Levitra tablets are consumed for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or Impotence.

This drug can take up to 30 minutes to 1 hour to work. 

After its consumption, it will increase the blood flow in the penile area, which will help a man get and sustain a firm erection.

How does 60 mg Levitra work?

Vardenafil, the main ingredient in Levitra tablets, works by inhibiting the Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme.

The blockage of PDE5 improves the Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) levels, which enhances the blood circulation in the penis by dilating the blood vessels.

This enhanced circulation of blood in the penile region assists a male in having an erection.

Although, sexual stimulation must occur in order to get an erection.
