Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5, this helps the smooth muscles in the penis to relax, which effectively increases blood flow. Levitra normally works within 25-60 minutes, although some men will achieve an erection within 15 minutes. Within a 5 hour period after taking the tablet an erection should occur in response to sexual stimulation.
The initial dose is selected by the doctor who will assess the most appropriate dose for each patient based on a consultation, increasing the dose beyond the maximum recommended dose of 20mg simply increases the side effects and not the efficacy. Men can eat or drink as they would normally before taking Levitra.
Levitra test results out of 580 participants revealed that Levitra improved erections in at least 76% of men.
If Levitra does not help you to get an erection, or your erection does not last long enough for you to complete your chosen sexual activity you should tell your doctor, who will be able to advise you as to whether a dose increase is necessary to reach the desired effect.
