Vitara-V 20 Tablet

Vitara-V 20 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains vardenafil 20 mg in each tablet. Vardenafil belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Vitara-V 20 Tablet helps improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. It is supplied by Signature Pharma in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Vardenafil in Vitara-V 20 Tablet relaxes the blood vessels in the penis by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which increases blood flow during sexual arousal. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the stomach and intestines before it starts working.

Vitara-V 20 Tablet is a higher-strength vardenafil tablet, so it is not the first choice for everyone and should only be used when a clinician has decided this dose is appropriate. Compared with the lower-strength Vitara-V 40 Tablet listed here, Vitara-V 20 Tablet is generally the smaller-dose option and may be chosen when a doctor wants to start with a more conservative amount or if a lower amount is better tolerated.

Each Vitara-V 20 Tablet provides vardenafil 20 mg.
