Valif 20 mg Tablet

Valif 20 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 20 mg of vardenafil in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. Valif 20 mg Tablet helps improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexual stimulation occurs.

How it works: Vardenafil in Valif 20 mg Tablet works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in during sexual arousal. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system before it can start working.

Valif 20 mg Tablet is the higher-strength version compared with Valif 10 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen only after a doctor has assessed that a lower strength is not enough or is not appropriate. Because this tablet delivers a full 20 mg dose, it may be used when a stronger response is needed, but it is not meant to be taken casually or more often than prescribed.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Help achieve an erection with sexual stimulation

• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.

Each Valif 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of vardenafil per tablet. It may be taken once in a 24-hour period, but the exact dose and whether this higher strength is appropriate must be decided by your doctor. Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose or to increase the effect.
