Description
Levitra 60 mg tablets are the highest dose of Levitra available in the market. This medication is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor, which is currently the most effective drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Other PDE-5 inhibitors approved by the FDA include Sildenafil (Revatio and Viagra), Tadalafil (Adcirca and Cialis), and Avanafil (Stendra). Non-FDA-approved drugs such as Udenafil (Zydena), Lodenafil (Helleva), and Mirodenafil (Mvix) are also commercially available.
How Does Levitra 60 mg Work?
Levitra 60 mg tablets work by enhancing the relaxing effect of nitric oxide (NO) through cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), blocking the PDE-5 enzyme. This results in increased blood flow to the penis, leading to a physiological erection that is maintained for a longer duration. However, sexual stimulation is necessary for the drug to work.
Levitra Dosage
Levitra 60 mg tablets are generally taken orally regardless of the meal. The recommended dosage is 10 mg once per day, taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. The dose may be reduced to 5 mg or optimized depending on the individual’s tolerability and effectiveness of the drug. Patients with moderate hepatic disorders are recommended to start taking Levitra tablets at a dose of 5 mg per day.
