Vilitra 40mg Tablet contains 40mg of vardenafil, an active ingredient that belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping men get and maintain an erection during sexual activity. Vilitra 40mg works by inhibiting the PDE-5 enzyme, which degrades cGMP, a substance that helps maintain the engorgement of blood in the penis.

How Vilitra 40mg Works

Vilitra 40mg helps relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow in when a man is sexually aroused. It only works in conjunction with sexual stimulation and helps sustain the erection required for sexual intercourse. This medication may start working within 30 minutes of ingestion and can last for up to 6 hours.

Dosage

The typical starting dose for Vilitra is 10mg, taken orally about one hour before sexual activity. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and can be taken with or without food. The dose may be adjusted based on individual response, with the maximum daily dosage not exceeding 20mg. For geriatric males or those on alpha-blocker therapy, a lower dose of 5mg may be recommended. Avoid taking more than one tablet in a 24-hour period, and always follow your doctor’s instructions.
