Filitra 20 mg Tablet

Filitra 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. Filitra 20 mg Tablet helps improve blood flow to the penis so an erection can occur with sexual stimulation. This strength comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets and is made by Fortune HealthCare, India.

How it works: Vardenafil in Filitra 20 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which helps increase blood flow during sexual arousal. Because this is a tablet, it is swallowed by mouth and needs time to be absorbed before sexual activity.

Filitra 20 mg Tablet is the middle strength in our Filitra range, between Filitra 10 mg Tablet and Filitra 40 mg Tablet. It may be chosen for men who need a stronger dose than 10 mg but do not need, or should not take, the higher 40 mg strength. Because it is a 20 mg tablet, a doctor may use it when balancing effectiveness, tolerability, and how the person responded to lower strengths.
