Uses of Levitra

Levitra is typically used in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.

ED or impotence is a dysfunction in which a man cannot attain and sustain an erection.

Levitra is responsible for getting and sustaining an erection in a man to perform sexual activity.

How does 60 mg Levitra work?

Levitra contains a significant amount of Vardenafil, which is a PDE5 inhibitor.

Vardenafil works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which leads to an increase in cGMP levels.

Sexual stimulation is a must in order to get an erection.
