What is erectile dysfunction (ED)? |
| Erectile Dysfunction, also known as impotency, is when a man can no longer sustain an erection suitable for sexual activity. ED occurs when the chemical reactions necessary to sustain an erection no longer happen properly. |
How does Levitra work? |
Levitra is the result of the combined effort of Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline to be able to provide an effective erectile dysfunction treatment.
Like Cialis and Viagra, Levitra works in the same way by blocking the enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 or PDE5. By blocking this enzyme the muscles in the penis can relax which allows for more blood flow and with the proper sexual stimulation can lead to an erection.
The great thing about Levitra is that there have been reports that Levitra can work in as little as 12 minutes and stay in a person's system for up to 24 hours. The manufacturers believe this will lead to more spontaneous and thus more enjoyable encounters for people requiring this type of treatment. |
How should Levitra be taken? |
| Before taking any new prescription or nonprescription medication, your doctor or primary healthcare provider should always be contacted. Levitra is an oral medication that should be taken 12-30 minutes before a man wishes to participate in sexual activity. Alcohol can inhibit the effects of Levitra and it may take longer than normal to receive the benefits of Levitra if moderate of heavy quantities have been imbibed. |

Before Using |

If you are not sure whether a certain medicine is a nitrate, contact your doctor or pharmacist. If you are currently using any of these medicines, tell your doctor or pharmacist before using Levitra. |
