About Levitra 20mg

Vardenafil salt, which aids in boosting blood flow in the penis, is a primary component of Levitra.

How 20mg Levitra Works

Vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, is the primary ingredient of Levitra.

Vardenafil’s ability to inhibit PDE5 contributes to its ability to raise cGMP levels.

A man who is sexually stimulated can thus have an erection through this process.
