Levitra is a drug used for treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men – the medical name itself, vardenafil, suggests that it is used against difficulties in getting or maintaining an erection.
At least one in ten men has trouble getting or keeping an erection. It can depend on physical or psychological causes or, more likely, a combination of the two. Whatever the cause, the effect is always the same: it is retained in the penis amount of blood sufficient to allow and maintain an erection, due to modifications of the muscles and blood vessels.
Erections are usually controlled by a balance between two chemicals in the organism. The first causes an erection, the second makes an end. If the two substances are not balanced, an erection cannot occur. Levitra works by reducing the action of the second chemical (called PDE -5). Levitra allows you to achieve and maintain an erection long enough to be able to satisfactorily complete sexual intercourse. It takes about 25 – 60 minutes before the ratio and works only in the presence of sexual stimulation.
