Vardenafil 20 mg Tablet

Vardenafil 20 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Each tablet contains 20 mg of vardenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It helps improve blood flow to the penis so an erection can happen with sexual stimulation. This product is the tablet form made by Macleods Pharmaceuticals, India, and it is intended for men who have been medically evaluated for ED.

How it works: Vardenafil works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which helps keep blood vessels in the penis relaxed during sexual stimulation. As a tablet, Vardenafil 20 mg is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system before it starts helping blood flow.

Vardenafil 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is not the place to start for everyone. A doctor may choose this strength when a lower dose did not work well enough, or when the patient’s medical history and other medicines make this dose appropriate. Because it is 20 mg, effects and side effects may be more noticeable than with lower-strength vardenafil tablets.

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Helping achieve and maintain an erection with sexual stimulation
• Prescription-only ED therapy for adult men

• Swallow the Vardenafil 20 mg tablet whole with water.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, or exactly as your doctor directs.
• Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours.
• A high-fat meal may slow how quickly the tablet works, so timing with food can matter.
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for the medicine to work.
• Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet unless your prescriber specifically says to.

Each Vardenafil 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of vardenafil in one tablet. It is usually taken only as needed, not more than once a day, and the prescriber decides whether this higher strength is appropriate. Your doctor will set the dose based on how well it works for you and how your body tolerates it.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
