What is Levitra For?

Now with drugs like Levitra, just by taking a simple pill, the vast majority of men experience improved erections and satisfying intercourse, making their lives and the lives of their partners much more fulfilled.

In the past decade, a new class of drugs has been developed to help men with erectile dysfunction. Viagra was the first of these drugs which are called "PDE-5 inhibitors" to be released. Levitra is the second to be available in the US, and the third is Cialis. ED (erectile dysfunction) used to be blamed on psychological factors. But with drugs like Levitra, it is now known that erectile dysfunction is largely a physical problem. Certain health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and aging can cause difficulties in getting and maintaining a sufficient erection.

Before drugs like Levitra, erectile dysfunction was treated with painful injections placed directly into the penis or sometimes with penile implants, which also would be invasive. With drugs like Levitra these invasive treatments are no longer necessary. Just by taking a simple pill, the vast majority of men experience improved erections and satisfying intercourse. Levitra doesn't cure erectile dysfunction and you take it right before you have sex or expect to. Within about an hour you are better able to get an erection, and the effect wears off a few hours after that. Some people report lingering positive effects after that, but for the most part, you'll need to take Levitra again each time you want to have sex (Levitra). Levitra is not an aphrodisiac and it will not put you in the mood either. It will only allow you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. Levitra works only on the body and not on the mind. It will not be until you become sexually stimulated that you will notice any difference at all.

When a new medication is introduced and has been approved by the FDA it is always assigned two different names. In this case Levitra is the brand name and Vardenafil is the generic name. The brand name is used for marketing, more or less for doctors and patients; usually it is a simpler name than the generic name. Bayer filed for the US Trademark for Levitra on February 8, 2000. Just around the same time it filed for "Afortix" and "Nuviva", perhaps these were other possible names for the drug? (Levitra)

The best thing about Levitra is that it is very selective in attacking PDE-5 without affecting other isoenzymes. The greatest benefit here is that this allows a lot smaller dose of Levitra to do the same job as a bigger dose of Viagra, as an example. Yet, both drugs still do the same thing.
