Varditra 20 mg Tablet

Varditra 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. Varditra 20 mg Tablet is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men by helping improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexually aroused.

How it works: Vardenafil in Varditra 20 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis by blocking PDE5, which helps increase blood flow during sexual stimulation. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed whole and starts working after it is absorbed through the digestive tract.

Varditra 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet compared with Varditra 10 mg Tablet, and it may be chosen when a doctor feels a stronger dose is appropriate based on response and tolerability. It is not the same as the even higher Varditra 40 mg Tablet or Varditra 60 mg Tablet, which are not routine starting doses and require careful medical assessment. This 20 mg strength is still taken only as directed, and it may produce a more noticeable effect than lower strengths in men who need it.

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Helps achieve and maintain an erection with sexual stimulation
• Used when a doctor prescribes a higher vardenafil tablet strength
• May be used in adult men who did not respond enough to a lower dose

• Swallow the Varditra 20 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.
• Do not take more than one Varditra 20 mg Tablet in 24 hours.
• It may be taken with or without food, but a heavy or high-fat meal can delay how quickly it works.
• Only take it when prescribed for you; do not split, crush, or take extra tablets.
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for the medicine to work.

Each Varditra 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of vardenafil per tablet. A doctor decides whether this strength is appropriate and how often it can be used, but it should not be taken more than once in a day. The exact dose may be adjusted based on response, side effects, age, and other medical conditions.

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