Vardenafil (Generic for Levitra®) Tablets for Erectile Dysfunction

What Vardenafil Is and How It Works

Vardenafil is a prescription phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It is the active ingredient in Levitra®. Most patients take it as needed before sexual activity. Common strengths include 10 mg and vardenafil 20mg. Tablets are taken by mouth. Orally disintegrating and sublingual formats exist in some markets.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy based in Manitoba. We meet Canadian pharmacy standards, and our pharmacists review every prescription before dispensing. We offer brand and generic medicines at Canadian prices, plus helpful OTC items. You can order online, and our customer-service chat is available during posted office hours.

Vardenafil helps increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It blocks PDE5, which preserves cyclic GMP and supports smooth muscle relaxation in penile tissue. The effect is on-demand. Sexual stimulation is still required for an erection to occur.

We work with licensed, pre-screened international partner pharmacies when needed, so you receive authentic brands, a wide selection, and fair pricing.

Dosage and Usage

The typical starting dose is 10 mg taken about 60 minutes before sexual activity. The dose may be adjusted to 5 mg or up to 20 mg based on response and tolerability. Do not take more than one dose in a day. Older adults and those with liver issues may need a lower dose.

A high-fat meal can delay the effect. Heavy alcohol can reduce performance and increase side effects. Do not use with nitrates or riociguat. Space vardenafil and alpha-blockers to reduce dizziness risk, as advised by a prescriber.

• Take one vardenafil tablet with water as directed by your prescriber.
• Use 10 mg first, then adjust to 5 mg or 20 mg if needed.
• Do not exceed one dose per 24 hours.
• If using sublingual or ODT formats, follow the specific product directions.
• This medicine is not scheduled, so there is no typical missed dose advice. Use only as needed.

• Store tablets at room temperature, about 15–30 °C, away from moisture.
• Keep in the original, labeled container.
• When you travel, keep your supply in your carry-on.
• Protect from heat. Do not store in a car.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Benefits and Savings

Vardenafil improves erectile function and the ability to maintain an erection. Many patients report reliable results with a consistent effect window. Both 10 mg and 20 mg strengths support flexible dosing. On-demand use can be convenient for planned intimacy.

Buying generic vardenafil can lower your out-of-pocket costs compared with brand Levitra®. Typical savings versus US retail pricing are about 60–80%. You can buy vardenafil online from a Canadian pharmacy and benefit from Canadian pricing. Multi-month supplies may further reduce the per-month vardenafil cost.

We show clear pricing for vardenafil 20mg tablets, and you can compare the vardenafil price per pill across strengths. Many patients choose a larger quantity to reduce vardenafil cost over time.

Side Effects and Safety

Most side effects are mild and short-lived. They often improve with dose reduction. Serious effects are uncommon but require urgent care.

• Common: headache, flushing, nasal congestion, dizziness.
• GI: dyspepsia, nausea.
• Vision: color tinge or increased light sensitivity.
• Back pain or muscle aches.
• Serious: priapism (erection >4 hours), sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, fainting, chest pain, severe allergic reaction.

Do not take vardenafil with any nitrate (nitroglycerin, isosorbide) or with riociguat. Use caution with alpha-blockers, certain antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors, and grapefruit juice. Patients with significant heart disease, recent stroke or heart attack, severe liver disease, retinal disorders, or low blood pressure should discuss risks with a prescriber. Levitra® vardenafil and other PDE5 inhibitors can rarely cause prolonged erection; seek care for erections lasting over four hours.

Onset Time

Onset is usually within 30 to 60 minutes. A high-fat meal can slow onset. The effect may last about four to five hours in many patients. Sexual stimulation remains necessary for benefit.

Compare With Alternatives

Sildenafil (Viagra, generic) is also a PDE5 inhibitor. Many patients start with 50 mg and adjust between 25–100 mg. Onset is similar, and a high-fat meal can delay the effect. Duration is about four hours for most users. Sildenafil may cause mild visual changes more often than vardenafil.

Cialis® (tadalafil, generic available) has a longer duration. Many patients prefer daily low-dose tadalafil for spontaneous intimacy, or 10–20 mg as needed. A meal does not change onset as much. Headache and back pain can be more common with tadalafil.

Choosing among vardenafil generic, sildenafil, and tadalafil depends on response, side effects, cost, and dosing needs. Patients sometimes try more than one option under a prescriber’s guidance.

Combination Therapy

Some men with low testosterone combine ED treatment with testosterone replacement as prescribed. Men with anxiety or performance concerns may benefit from counseling in addition to medication. Do not combine vardenafil with other PDE5 inhibitors. Avoid nitrates and recreational nitrites. Coordinate dosing if you use alpha-blockers for prostate symptoms.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Vardenafil uses include treatment of ED in adult men. It is not indicated for women or children. People with cardiovascular risk should be cleared for sexual activity. Those with severe hepatic impairment or retinal disease may need other options. Patients often ask about vardenafil over the counter. Vardenafil is prescription only in Canada and the US.

You can order vardenafil online through YouDrugstore once your prescription is received. Many customers compare the vardenafil 20mg price with 10 mg to choose the best value. Some prefer vardenafil pills; others look for vardenafil sublingual options where available. If you search for vardenafil near me, online ordering can be more convenient than local stock checks. We offer friendly ordering support and discreet packaging.

To stretch your budget, consider a multi-month supply. This can lower the per-month cost. We also send reorder reminders so you can maintain continuity of therapy without last-minute rushes. For current offers and bulk options, see our vardenafil discount.
