Common Questions about Vardenafil (Levitra)


Is vardenafil as good as Viagra?

Both vardenafil and Viagra (sildenafil) belong to the same group of drugs (PDE-5 inhibitors), and both are effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Your doctor will help you choose the best ED medicine based on your medical history, symptoms, side effects, and personal preferences.



How many hours does vardenafil last?

The effects of vardenafil last for 4-5 hours. This medication helps you achieve and keep an erection in the presence of sexual stimulation. Tell your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical help if you develop a prolonged erection that lasts more than 4 hours.



Which is better: vardenafil or Cialis?

Both vardenafil and Cialis (tadalafil) can effectively treat erectile dysfunction. However, Cialis has a half-life of 17.5 hours, while vardenafil has a half-life of 4-6 hours. This means the effects of Cialis last considerably longer, and you can take it at any time of the day and not necessarily immediately before sexual activity. This is often a deciding factor for many men.



What is the strongest ED pill?

Vardenafil is 10 times stronger than sildenafil (Viagra) and also more selective for PDE type 5 compared to other types of PDE. You need to take smaller doses of vardenafil to achieve an erection, and this reduces the risk of side effects. Due to its selectivity for PDE-5, vardenafil is less likely to cause changes in color perception compared to Viagra.



Can I mix vardenafil and Viagra?

You should not mix vardenafil and Viagra or any other similar medications for erectile dysfunction. This can put you at risk of serious side effects such as symptomatic hypotension (low blood pressure) and fainting.
