Levitra is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor or simply said belongs to the class of drugs known as PDE-5 inhibitors. Working of levitra resembles its counterpart medicines i.e. Viagra and cialis. Levitra increases the blood flow into the penis and thus helps attaining a good erection. For an erection, smooth muscles are needed to be relaxed. This task is performed by cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) through smooth muscle cells. More will be cGMP; the more will be relaxation, so the more blood can flow into the blood vessels of penis that leads to a better erection. PDE-5 present in levitra breaks down cGMP that helps keep this process go on and helps maintain high levels of cGMP.
One of the strong plus of Levitra is that it doesn't affect other isoenzymes and attacks on selective PDE-5. This plus allows a little dose of levitra to work as efficiently as a large dose of Viagra is required to do the same. This means, a dose of 10mg can be as effective as an average Viagra dose of 50mg. However, both the drugs work essentially in the same manner.
Though many couples have given positive report after using levitra but if it doesn't work for you for the first time, you should ask your doctor for certain dose adjustments.
Levitra has an advantage over other counter drugs as it can work for men with a broad range of physical problems like diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
Levitra works really well for most of the men who are on various medications for treating blood pressure; however you must consult your doctor before taking levitra. |
