The treatment of ED with Levitra

Levitra Works to Treat ED

Erectile dysfunction treatments have become well known in recent years. One of the most common, Levitra, has been on the market since 2003 after receiving approval by the FDA. If you have ED, you may want to immediately go buy an ED medication. Before you do, it is suggested you have a clear understanding of how this ED medication works.

As a PDE5 inhibitor Levitra is used to increase the flow of blood to the penis in order to treat ED. Specifically, a chemical reaction is created in the bloodstream. This chemical reaction inhibits the breakdown of nitric oxide. As a result, the vessels that supply blood to the penis relax enough to allow more blood to enter the penis for an erection. The increased blood flow tends to produce harder erections that last longer. For men who use this drug these results in particular are consistent.

While all ED drugs work in a similar fashion, this drug's chemical structure differs from that of the other such drugs. Some men who use the drug have reported it works faster than other ED treatments. It remains active for up to four hours although this can vary. Its chemical structure also makes it less sensitive to food as well as alcohol interactions. Men can take it without worrying about what they eat or drink with the exception of fatty foods which can cause the drug to be absorbed into the bloodstream slower which reduces its effectiveness.

To actually achieve an erection you will still require sexual stimulation once you have taken the medication. The drug facilitates this but will not cause an erection by itself. The drug is intended to produce one successful erection per dose although some men have achieved multiple erections during the four-hour active window. ED medication may not be enough to achieve or continue to have an erection during sexual intercourse if the problem lies with your libido.

Now that you know how Levitra works, you can make an informed decision before buying it. You know what to expect so you know if it is actually working. There are possible side effects that men should be aware before taking this drug. It is recommended you consult with your physician to learn more about the proper use of levitra so you can maximize its benefits for a better sex life.
