Vardenafil is a medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction means having trouble getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sexual activity. Vardenafil helps by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal.
Vardenafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. These medicines work by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow in and create an erection.
Vardenafil usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes after taking it. Its effects can last for about four to six hours. Because of this, it is often taken only when needed before sexual activity.
Common side effects of vardenafil include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and nasal congestion. Most side effects are mild and go away on their own.
It is important to take vardenafil exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours. Avoid using vardenafil with nitrate medicines for chest pain, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Before using vardenafil, tell your doctor if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or any other health issues. Your doctor will decide if this medicine is safe for you.
Vardenafil has helped many men improve their sexual function and confidence. Always use it under medical supervision and follow your healthcare provider’s advice.
