Filitra Professional 20 mg Tablet

Filitra Professional 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 (ED) in adult men. This strength is designed to help improve erectile response when sexual stimulation occurs, but it does not increase sexual desire or cure ED. Filitra Professional 20 mg Tablet should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional.

How it works: Vardenafil in Filitra Professional 20 mg Tablet helps relax the blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in during sexual stimulation. The tablet works best when taken before planned sexual activity and only after your doctor says it is safe for you.

Filitra Professional 20 mg Tablet is the 20 mg strength, which is a higher-strength vardenafil tablet compared with lower-dose options. It may be chosen for men who have not had enough benefit from a lower dose or whose doctor feels this strength is appropriate after assessing health history and possible interactions. Because it is a stronger tablet, side effects such as headache, flushing, or dizziness may be more noticeable in some patients.
