Levitra

A fast-acting medication containing Vardenafil to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men.

How Levitra Works

Levitra contains Vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor that enhances natural processes during sexual stimulation. It works by:

• Increasing Blood Flow: Relaxes blood vessels in the penis to allow increased blood flow for an erection.
• Inhibiting PDE5 Enzymes: Prevents the breakdown of cGMP, sustaining an erection during sexual activity.

Levitra requires sexual stimulation to be effective, ensuring a natural response to arousal.
