Alvitra 20 mg Tablet

Alvitra 20 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 20 mg of vardenafil in each tablet. Vardenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which are used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. Alvitra 20 mg Tablet helps improve the ability to get and keep an erection when there is sexual stimulation. It is not intended for use by women or children and does not increase sexual desire.

How it works: Vardenafil in Alvitra 20 mg Tablet works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, which helps increase blood flow during sexual arousal. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system before it starts working.

Alvitra 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is usually chosen for adults who have already been evaluated by a doctor and need a stronger dose than lower-strength vardenafil tablets. Compared with lower strengths, this 20 mg tablet may provide a stronger effect, but it can also be more likely to cause side effects, so the dose should be individualized by a clinician. The Alvitra 20 mg Tablet is not the best first choice for everyone; a doctor may select it when a lower dose has not been enough or when the patient’s medical history supports its use.
