Varditra 40 mg Tablet

Varditra 40 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 40 mg of vardenafil in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) get and keep an erection when sexually stimulated. Varditra 40 mg Tablet does not cause an erection on its own; sexual arousal is still needed. Because this is a high-strength tablet, it should be used only under a doctor’s guidance.

How it works: Vardenafil helps relax the blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which allows more blood to flow in during sexual stimulation. This tablet form is swallowed whole, then absorbed into the body to support an erection response when arousal occurs.

Varditra 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength version compared with Varditra 10 mg Tablet and Varditra 20 mg Tablet, so it is not the usual starting option for most patients. A doctor may choose Varditra 40 mg Tablet when a lower strength has not worked well enough or when a patient has already been carefully assessed for tolerance and safety. It is intended for adults who need a stronger vardenafil tablet, not for casual dose changes.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Difficulty getting an erection
• Difficulty keeping an erection
• Prescription treatment for adult men with ED

• Swallow Varditra 40 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity, unless your doctor gives different directions.
• Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours.
• A heavy or high-fat meal may slow how quickly the tablet works.
• Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet unless your doctor specifically says to do so.
• Sexual stimulation is still required for the medicine to work.

Each Varditra 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of vardenafil, which is a higher dose than the 10 mg and 20 mg tablets. The usual frequency is no more than once per day, and the exact dose and timing should be decided by a doctor based on your health, response, and other medicines. Because this is a high-strength tablet, it should not be used to self-adjust dosing.

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