Medicinal Benefits of Levifil 20mg Tablet

VARDENAFIL belongs to the group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence). VARDENAFIL works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, thereby allows the blood to flow into the penis when the person is sexually excited. It reduces the action of natural chemicals in the body, which make erections go away. Thereby, VARDENAFIL helps treat erectile dysfunction. VARDENAFIL helps the person to get an erection only if he is sexually stimulated.
