Levitra – The Orange Pill

The drug Levitra is one of several new pharmaceutical drugs meant to help men struggling with impotency. It is the latest impotence pill that was introduced in the market sometime back after Viagra. The manufacturers of Levitra, Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline claim that their wonder orange pill is even speedier than Viagra and is effective in as early as 15 minutes time. Many men who were earlier not happy with Viagra are trying Levitra and are satisfied with the results.

It is available in the U.S. market since August, 2003. Levitra is believed to be an enzyme-blocker that helps increase the blood flow to the penis. On an average, this orange pill can be effective for 4-6 hours. The manufacturers claim that Levitra has a 70 percent higher success rate in patients with diseases such as diabetes or those who have undergone prostrate cancer surgery — these being the two common causes of erectile dysfunction. The preferred dose of Levitra is once a day. A lower dosage definitely helps with fewer side effects.

Just like Viagra, Levitra is also not suitable for people taking nitrate drugs for angina, or even alpha-blockers taken for prostate problems. This is because taking Levitra might result in dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Over half of all males between the age of 40 and 70 years experience erectile dysfunction, making it the most common chronic condition affecting men. This can be because of diabetes, blood pressure medications, prostate cancer surgery or numerous other conditions. It is surprising but whether because of embarrassment or lack of information about treatment, as many as 90 percent of men with the condition don’t take help. Experts believe that Levitra’s arrival would definitely help in bringing an end to the stigma of impotence. The problem will no remain a problem and men will again enjoy a healthy sexual life.
