VILITRA-20, produced in India by Centurion Laboratories, is a generic version of Vardenafil and is prescribed for men dealing with erectile dysfunction (ED). The drug operates by relaxing the muscles and enhancing blood circulation in the penis. VILITRA-20 is categorized as a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) enzyme inhibitor, and its active component, vardenafil, blocks the action of this enzyme, facilitating the relaxation of smooth muscles in the penile arteries. This increase in blood flow results in an erection when physical or psychological sexual stimulation occurs.
Usage Instructions:Before starting VILITRA-20, a physical examination is essential to confirm your suitability for sexual activity and to establish if VILITRA-20 is the right treatment for your ED. Your doctor will require your medical history and a list of all medications you are currently taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements, as VILITRA-20 may interact negatively with specific medications. Your doctor will also determine the correct dosage based on your age, medical conditions, and weight. The recommended maximum dosage for VILITRA-20 is one dose within a 24-hour period.
VILITRA-20 is typically taken on an as-needed basis, approximately 60 minutes prior to sexual activity. The tablet should be placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely before swallowing; do not swallow it whole or break, crush, or chew it. Since it's taken as needed, the likelihood of missing a dose is minimal. Seek immediate medical assistance if you mistakenly take an overdose of VILITRA-20.
