Effects - How it works in the body
Levitra belongs to the family of drugs known as phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors agent group of medicines and commonly used for the treatment of those people who suffered to the problems of erectile dysfunction (Impotence). Levitra (Vardenafil) works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Levitra (Vardenafil) increased blood flow can cause an erection. Actually Levitra (Vardenafil) works by preventing the action of a chemical in the body called phosphodiesterase type 5. An erection is produced via a complex chain of events, involving signals from the nervous system and the release of chemical messengers within the tissues of the penis. One of these chemical messengers is known as cyclic GMP. Cyclic GMP causes the blood vessels in the penis to widen by relaxing a thin layer of muscle found in the blood vessel walls. This allows more blood to enter the penis, which ultimately results in the penis becoming rigid and erect. Cyclic GMP is normally broken down by another chemical in the body called phosphodiesterase type 5. Levitra (Vardenafil) works by preventing the action of phosphodiesterase type 5, thus stopping the breakdown of cyclic GMP. This means that the blood vessels are kept dilated for longer, improving blood flow to the penis and maintaining an erection.
