Alvitra 40 mg Tablet

Alvitra 40 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 40 mg of vardenafil in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to help treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. This medicine works only with sexual stimulation and does not increase sexual desire. Alvitra 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it should be used only when a clinician has decided that this dose is appropriate.

How it works: Vardenafil in Alvitra 40 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which increases blood flow during sexual arousal. Because it is a tablet form, it is swallowed whole and then absorbed into the body before it can work; it does not act instantly and still requires sexual stimulation.

Alvitra 40 mg Tablet is stronger than Alvitra 20 mg Tablet and should not be assumed to be a first-choice dose. It may be chosen for adults who did not get enough response from a lower strength or when a prescriber specifically feels this higher-strength tablet is appropriate. Because it contains more vardenafil per tablet, side effects may be more likely or more noticeable than with lower strengths.
