blockade in the blood vessels or in the blood flow path of the user.
There have been many studies that implicate the rising
numbers of erectile dysfunction patients in men. According to the National

There are many medications available for the treatment of
erectile dysfunction in men. Levitra is one of them.
Levitra is the brand version of the
PDE5 inhibitor Vardenafil. Much like other PDE5 inhibitors the compound
inhibits the degrading effect of the hormone Phosphodiesterase Type 5 of the
body. Following the inhibition of the hormone, the blood vessels and the
muscles relax. This causes the blood in the vicinity of the vessels to gush
into the relaxed vessels. This causes the blood vessels to swell up and this
makes the muscles get stiff, causing a firm erection. It is however noteworthy
to mention that the medication will not be as effective if there is no
stimulation involved. Levitra lasts and works on the body for around 5 hours.
