Vilitra 40 mg Tablet

Vilitra 40 mg Tablet is a prescription men’s health medicine that contains vardenafil 40 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. Vilitra 40 mg Tablet helps improve the ability to get and keep an erection when there is sexual stimulation.

How it works: Vardenafil in Vilitra 40 mg Tablet relaxes blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow during sexual stimulation. The tablet form is swallowed and absorbed in the body, helping support an erection when there is sexual arousal.

Vilitra 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option compared with Vilitra 10 mg Tablet and Vilitra 20 mg Tablet, so it is not the usual starting dose for most people. A doctor may choose Vilitra 40 mg Tablet when a lower strength has not worked well enough or when an individual has already been assessed for a stronger vardenafil dose. Because it is a stronger tablet, side effects may be more noticeable than with lower strengths.

• Erectile dysfunction treatment
• Improving erection firmness during sexual stimulation
• Support for men who did not respond adequately to lower-strength vardenafil tablets

• Swallow the Vilitra 40 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.
• Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours.
• A high-fat meal can slow how quickly vardenafil starts working, so a lighter meal may help if timing matters.
• Sexual stimulation is still needed for the medicine to work.

Each Vilitra 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of vardenafil, which is a higher strength than the 10 mg and 20 mg tablets. It is usually taken only when needed, and the doctor decides whether this strength is appropriate based on your response and health history. Do not take more than one dose in a day unless your prescriber gives different instructions.

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

Common side effects of Vardenafil may include:

• Headache
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Upset stomach
• Dizziness
• Back pain or muscle aches
• Blurred vision or color-vision changes, which may be more noticeable at higher strength

• Do not use Vilitra 40 mg Tablet with nitrates, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Be cautious if you have heart disease, low blood pressure, recent stroke, or a recent heart attack.
• Avoid heavy alcohol use, since it can increase dizziness and lower blood pressure.
• This higher-strength tablet may increase the chance of side effects, so it should be used only if a clinician has assessed that it is appropriate.
• Do not take it with other PDE5 inhibitors or with medicines that contain vardenafil.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or have vision changes.
• Tell your prescriber about liver disease, kidney disease, or any eye condition before using this strength.
