Vardenafil has an activity period of 6 to 8 hours and as Levitra Strips are designed to start working at once you needn’t wait any time before sexual intercourse. The simple application of the strips allows using them in any place, you needn’t water, just place Levitra Strip on your tongue and wait until it melts completely.

The penis is composed of two chambers called the corpora cavernosa on the whole length of the organ. Corpora cavernosa is filled with a spongy tissue and circled with a membrane, called the tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue consists of smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. A special channel for urination and ejaculatation – urethra stretches along the underside of the corpora cavernosa. The urethra is enclosed by the corpus spongiosum.

Levitra consisting of Vardenafil causes erection by sensory and mental stimulation. Impulses from the brain and local nerves allow the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the spaces. The release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase and increases the level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) responsible for smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum and producing necessary blood inflow. Vardenafil enhances the effect of nitric oxide by inhibiting phosphodiensterase type 5 (PDE5) which answers for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum.   Levitra creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps take in the extra blood in the corpora cavernosa, thus keeping an erection.
Still it is necessary to remember that Vardenafil at recommended doses has no effect in the absence of sexual stimulation, a person should be sexually aroused for the medication to start working.

If you experience some potency problems do not hesitate and waste your time, Levitra will restore your sexual life and even make it better.

Vardenafil can interact with other medicines. Here are the most common and dangerous interactions of Vardenafil.

Vardenafil like other ED therapies should not be used with nitrate drugs for chest pain or heart problems.  If you want to use Vardenafil and you are on nitrates, discuss it with your doctor to define a special schedule of drugs dosing and time necessary to pass between them.

Vardenafil may interact with any of the following medications, inform your doctor about them and be specially carefull:

• conivaptan;
• diclofenac;
• imatinib;
• isoniazid;
• antidepressants;
• antibiotics such as clarithromycin, dalfopristin, quinupristin, erythromycin;
• drugs to treat high blood pressure or a prostate disorder;
• heart or blood pressure medication such as amlodipine, diltiazem, nicardipine, verapamil;
• heart rhythm medicine such as amiodarone, quinidine, procainamide, sotalol;
•  HIV/AIDS medicines.

We recommend consulting your doctor to know all the possible drug interactions of Vardenafil.

Do not take this drug together with nitrates. Nitrate medicines are prescribed for chest pain or heart problems. Sexual activity itself may be not recommended for people who have heart problems. The list of most common nitrates is: nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate.  If you are taking so called recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite (“poppers”) you should not take Vardenafil. Nitrates in combination with Levitra can cause dangerous conditions for your health. These drugs should be administered separately from each other.

If you are suffering from the following conditions, your doctor will adjust you the dose of the drug or you will have to undergo special tests:

• heart disease or heart rhythm problems;
• a recent history (in the past 6 months) of a heart attack, angina (chest pain), or congestive heart failure;
• a recent history of stroke or blood clots;
• high or low blood pressure;
• liver disease;
• kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
• a blood cell disorder such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia;
• a stomach ulcer;
• retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited condition of the eye);
• a physical deformity of the penis (such as Peyronie’s disease).

Vardenafil postmarketing experience has shown that the drug can decrease blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye, causing sudden vision loss. This has happened in a small number of people taking this drug most of whom suffered from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye problems.  It is not proved if the drug is the actual cause of vision loss. Still stop using Vardenafil and get emergency medical help if you have vision decrease or sudden vision loss.

This drug may cause dizziness, vision loss, that is why, try not to drive or operate machinery until you know your reaction to this drug.
