Vilitra 60 mg (Vardenafil)

Description

What Is Vilitra 60 mg?

Vilitra 60 mg is an oral tablet that contains the active ingredient vardenafil. Vardenafil belongs to the drug class known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Vilitra 60 mg is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, a condition characterized by the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. The medication enhances blood flow to the corpus cavernosum of the penis when a man is sexually stimulated.

What Is Vilitra 60 mg Used For?

Vilitra 60 mg is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Erectile dysfunction refers to the consistent or recurrent inability to achieve or maintain an erection that allows for satisfactory sexual activity. Vilitra 60 mg is not a cure for ED. It helps the user to get and sustain an erection during sexual arousal.

How Long Does It Take For Vilitra 60 mg To Start Working?

Vilitra 60 mg typically starts working within 30 to 60 minutes after oral administration. The onset of action may vary depending on the individual’s metabolic rate, recent meals, and general health condition. Vardenafil, the active compound in Vilitra, works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis.

Penile erection is a hemodynamic process that begins with the relaxation of smooth muscles in the corpus cavernosum and its associated arterioles. This process is triggered during sexual stimulation, where nitric oxide (NO) is released from the nerve endings and endothelial cells. Nitric oxide activates guanylate cyclase, leading to an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) inside smooth muscle cells. Elevated cGMP levels cause smooth muscle relaxation, allowing increased blood flow into the penis and resulting in an erection.

The enzyme PDE5 degrades cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. Vardenafil inhibits PDE5, thereby prolonging the action of cGMP. As a result, the duration and quality of erection are enhanced. However, sexual stimulation is necessary to initiate nitric oxide release, so Vilitra 60 mg has no effect without arousal.

How Long Do The Effects Of Vilitra 60 mg Last?

The effects of Vilitra 60 mg generally last between 4 to 6 hours. This duration may vary based on the individual’s age, metabolism, cardiovascular health, and response to the drug. The biological half-life of vardenafil is approximately 4 to 5 hours. Peak plasma concentrations are reached about 60 minutes after oral intake. Although the drug improves the ability to get and maintain an erection, it does not increase sexual desire and requires sexual stimulation to be effective.

What Is The Recommended Dosage Of Vilitra 60 mg?

Vilitra 60 mg should be taken once within a 24-hour period, approximately 30 to 60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. The dosage must not be exceeded without medical approval. Patients should consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage based on their medical history and current health status. Any adjustment to the dosage must be supervised by a physician.

How to Take Vilitra 60 mg  100mg Tablets for the Best Results?

Vilitra 60 mg tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. They can be taken with or without food. However, taking the tablet on an empty stomach may result in a faster onset of action. A high-fat or heavy meal may delay the drug’s effectiveness. For optimal results, the tablet should be taken approximately one hour before planned sexual activity. Avoid alcohol to minimize the risk of side effects.
