SNOVITRA SOFT 20

Vardenafil is known as one of the most reliable and selective PDE5 inhibitors. SNOVITRA SOFT 20 is a generic that combines the maximum standard dose of Vardenafil (20 mg) with the innovative form of a soft chewable tablet. This release form ensures an accelerated onset of action, which is critically important for preserving spontaneity in intimate life.

What is SNOVITRA SOFT 20?

SNOVITRA SOFT 20 is an oral medication containing 20 mg of Vardenafil. Vardenafil is the active substance of the original "Levitra." The distinctive feature of this version is the soft, chewable tablet, often with a pleasant flavour.

1. Indication and target dosage

The 20 mg Vardenafil dose is the maximum recommended daily dose and is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe erectile dysfunction (ED). SNOVITRA SOFT 20 is ideally suited for:

• Men who require the maximum standard efficacy of Vardenafil.

• Patients for whom speed of action is important, as the chewable form starts working faster.

• Individuals who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

2. Advantage of the chewable (SOFT) form

The chewable form allows the active substance to begin absorbing through the oral mucosa (sublingually), which provides key advantages:

• Accelerated Effect: Action can begin in as little as 15–25 minutes after chewing or dissolving, which is significantly faster than the 30–60 minutes for a swallowed tablet.

• Food Independence: Absorption bypassing the stomach makes Vardenafil less sensitive to the intake of fatty foods.

Detailed mechanism of action of SNOVITRA SOFT 20

The mechanism of action of SNOVITRA SOFT 20 is based on Vardenafil 20 mg being a highly selective inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme.

1. Trigger: Sexual arousal causes the release of nitric oxide (NO).

2. Erectile Cycle: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels.

3. Blockade: Vardenafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme that degrades cGMP. Blocking this enzyme allows cGMP to persist longer, manifold enhancing the natural blood flow and ensuring a stable, firm erection.

Key takeaway: Vardenafil in SNOVITRA SOFT 20 works as an enhancer of the natural response. Sexual arousal is required for an erection to occur.

Instructions for using SNOVITRA SOFT 20

Strict adherence to the instructions is necessary for safety and maximum speed of action.

1. Dosage and method of intake

• Dosage: 20 mg (one chewable tablet) – is the maximum daily dose. It is strictly prohibited to exceed 20 mg within 24 hours.

• Initial Dose: If you are trying Vardenafil for the first time, it is recommended to start with half a tablet (10 mg). The SNOVITRA SOFT 20 tablet is easily split.

• Timing: Take 15–25 minutes before planned sexual activity.

2. Influence of food and alcohol
