Vardenafil
This drug has a generic name Vardenafil, which is primarily used
to treat erectile dysfunction problem in men. ED is basically sexual impotence,
a condition in which men can’t sustain a penile erection for sexual
intercourse. It helps to boost blood flow to the penis which is extremely
necessary to smoothly erect. Vardenafil is sold under various trade names and
in different dosage forms such as tablets and oral jelly.
How
it works?
Vardenafil performs the
action just like Tadalafil and Sildenafil drugs. It has the ability to control
over the function of this enzyme, thereby, improve the blood flow to penis
which makes it firm and erect. At the same time, the blood vessels which are
responsible to carry blood away from penis decrease in size and decrease the
removal of blood from penis. Erection can be easily achieved by using
Vardenafil medicine.
