Levitra is the brand name for vardenafil, a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to a class of drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors, which also includes sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis). These medicines help increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection.

How It Works

Levitra blocks the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) enzyme. This enhances the natural nitric oxide (NO) response, allowing the blood vessels in the penis to relax and widen, improving blood flow.
