Vardenafil Product Information
Vardenafil is an erectile dysfunction treatment for adult men containing the active ingredient ‘vardenafil’. Vardenafil is suitable for all men and is particularly recommended for diabetic men who may experience erectile dysfunction due to factors such as neuropathy and vascular issues.
Vardenafil is classified as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor which blocks the PDE-5 enzyme in blood vessel walls. This helps relax the muscles in the penis to allow more blood to flow through the blood vessels, resulting in an erection.
Take one Vardenafil tablet whole with water and allow approximately 25 to 60 minutes for the medication to take effect before engaging in sexual activity. The recommended initial dose is 5 mg of Vardenafil once a day, which can be adjusted according to individual responses to the medication and with guidance from a pharmacist or GP.
It is advisable to take Vardenafil 5 mg initially, before considering higher doses. Do not take higher doses of Vardenafil without consulting a pharmacist or GP about treatment suitability.
Vardenafil takes approximately 25 to 60 minutes to take effect. It is important to note that Vardenafil requires sexual stimulation to work.
Vardenafil remains in the body for approximately 4 to 5 hours. This does not mean that taking Vardenafil will result in an erection lasting for that entire duration. Rather, it indicates that vardenafil can facilitate the potential for an erection within that time frame, assuming there is sexual stimulation.
It is important to note that the erection may subside if ejaculation occurs and/or if sexual arousal diminishes.
