Levitra 10 mg: The "Gold Standard" starting dose of Vardenafil

Initiating therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) requires a balanced approach, and Levitra 10 mg offers exactly that. This is the original, brand-name medication containing 10 mg of Vardenafil – a dosage recognized by doctors worldwide as the optimal and safest for starting treatment.

What is Levitra 10 mg and who is it for?

Levitra 10 mg is the original medication (manufactured by Bayer) containing 10 mg of Vardenafil. This dose is recommended as the initial dose for several reasons:

• New Users: Ideal for men trying PDE5 inhibitors for the first time.

• Elderly Patients: Men over 65 are often more sensitive to medications, and 10 mg is the preferred dose for them.

• Underlying Conditions: Patients with mild to moderate health issues (e.g., controlled hypertension) should start with 10 mg.

• Tolerability Assessment: This dose allows for assessing the body's response to Vardenafil with a minimal risk of side effects.

Mechanism of action of Levitra 10 mg

Vardenafil (the active component of Levitra 10 mg) is a selective PDE5 inhibitor. In the presence of sexual stimulation, the drug helps to relax the blood vessels of the penis and increase blood flow to the corpus cavernosum. It blocks the enzyme responsible for blood outflow, allowing a firm, natural erection to be achieved and maintained.

Important Reminder: Levitra 10 mg does not cause an erection mechanically. Natural sexual arousal is necessary for it to work.

Instructions for using Levitra 10 mg

For the best results, it is important to follow the administration rules:

1. Dosage: 10 mg (one tablet) is the standard starting dose.

2. Maximum Dose: If 10 mg is well-tolerated but the effect is insufficient, the dose can be increased to 20 mg after consulting a doctor. The maximum daily dose is 20 mg.

3. Time of Intake: The tablet should be swallowed with water, 30-60 minutes before sexual activity.

4. Food: Food intake (except for very high-fat meals) does not usually affect the efficacy of Vardenafil.

Main contraindications (Vardenafil 10 mg)

Even at the starting dosage, the drug has strict contraindications:

• Nitrate Use: It is strictly forbidden to take Levitra 10 mg with nitrates (Nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate) due to the risk of a fatal drop in blood pressure.

• Use of nitric oxide donors (including "poppers").

• Severe heart conditions: heart attack or stroke in the last 6 months, heart failure.

• Severe liver or kidney failure.

• Arterial hypotension (blood pressure below 90/50 mmHg).

• Allergy to Vardenafil.

Side effects of Levitra 10 mg

The 10 mg dosage was chosen as the starting dose precisely because it has the best safety profile and a low probability of side effects.

• Possible (usually mild): Headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion.

• Rare: Dyspepsia (upset stomach), dizziness.

The likelihood of side effects with 10 mg is significantly lower than with 20 mg.

Professional advice for using the medication

1. "Start Low": Levitra 10 mg is the most sensible choice for the first time. You should not start with maximum doses unless instructed by a doctor.

2. Assess Efficacy: The effect of 10 mg may be sufficient for 70-80% of men. If the erection is adequate, there is no need to increase the dose.

3. Alcohol: Vardenafil (the active ingredient in Levitra 10 mg) is considered the most alcohol-friendly of all PDE5 inhibitors. A glass of wine or beer will not affect the drug's action. However, excessive alcohol consumption impairs potency.

Levitra 10 mg: Answers to common questions

• How long does Levitra 10 mg last? The duration of action is standard for Vardenafil and lasts 4-6 hours.

• What if 10 mg doesn't work? First, ensure there was sufficient sexual stimulation. Second, the drug may not work the very first time. Try it 1-2 more times on different days. If there is consistently no effect, you can (after consulting a doctor) try 20 mg.

• Is this a weak dose? It is not "weak," but the "standard starting" dose. It is roughly equivalent in strength to 50 mg of Sildenafil, but with better tolerability.
