Persistent depression, malnutrition, and poor sleep are all causes of erectile dysfunction in men. After 40 years, most men complain of problems with erection. The issue is easily resolved. To do this, you need to contact the andrologist who will conduct the examination, put the correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment. One of the common and popular means for eliminating the causes of erectile dysfunction is considered to be the drug "Levitra". Analog reviews are also positive. Means of "Viagra", "Cialis" are popular.
Release form and composition of the medicine "Levitra"
The medicine is available in the form of tablets of 5 and 10 mg light orange, film-coated. To avoid fakes, the manufacturer uses an engraving applied by stamping: on the one side - the number "5" or "10", which corresponds to the dosage of the drug, and on the other - the signature Bayer cross. The main substance in the medicine is vardenafil. Auxiliary components:
- crospovidone;
- magnesium stearate;
- microcrystalline cellulose;
- silicon dioxide.
The tablets are packed in cardboard packs, one or four blisters in each.
Act
The medicine is intended to eliminate the causes associated with erectile dysfunction. Penile erection occurs during relaxation of the muscles of the cavernous bodies and the arterioles located in it. As a result, blood flow to the genitals is improved. Over time, in men, this function weakens, this leads to a partial or complete loss of erection. The main substance of the drug, vardenafil, helps to strengthen the response to sexual stimulation and blood flow to the genitals. Like the analogues of the drug, Levitra helps normalize the sexual life of the stronger sex.
Pharmacokinetics
After it enters the stomach, the active ingredient is absorbed. If you take a tablet on an empty stomach, then its maximum concentration in blood plasma occurs after 15 minutes. In other cases - within an hour. Only 10 minutes after taking 10 or 20 mg of the substance in 40% of men with mild or moderate form of erectile dysfunction, an increase in the penis occurs, which makes it possible to normally have sexual intercourse. In 60% of the stronger sex, an erection occurs 25 minutes after taking the drug.
The duration of action of the tablets reaches 12 hours. The medicine in the form of metabolites is excreted mainly with feces, and only a small percentage falls on the kidneys.
