Vardegra 20 mg Tablet

Vardegra 20 mg Tablet is a prescription erectile dysfunction medicine that contains 20 mg of vardenafil in each tablet. Vardenafil belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class, which helps improve blood flow to the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. Vardegra 20 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men by helping them achieve and maintain an erection. Because this is the 20 mg strength, it is a higher-dose tablet that should be used only when a clinician has decided this amount is appropriate.

How it works: Vardenafil in Vardegra 20 mg Tablet relaxes smooth muscle and widens blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme. This improves blood flow during sexual stimulation, which can make it easier to get and keep an erection.

Vardegra 20 mg Tablet is one of the higher vardenafil strengths and is not the typical starting dose for many patients. Doctors may choose Vardegra 20 mg Tablet when a lower dose has not worked well enough or when they want a stronger on-demand option, but only if it is safe for the patient. As a tablet, it is swallowed whole and is meant for planned use before sexual activity rather than daily routine use unless a prescriber specifically directs otherwise.

Each Vardegra 20 mg Tablet contains 20 mg of vardenafil, which is a higher-strength tablet used on demand.
