Vardenafil is prescribed to treat male sexual impotence also known as ED (Erectile Dysfunction). Vardenafil works by controlling the enzyme phosphodiesterase TYPE 5(PDE5), which in turn causes higher level of Nitric oxide that dilates blood vessels in the male organ by allowing the influx of blood needed to sustain an erection. Vardenafil is effective only during sexual arousal. Vardenafil does not work in the absence of libido. Vardenafil begins working approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. Vardenafil is effective in about 70% of men, though it is effective only when poor blood circulation is the cause of the ED.

If you miss a dose of Vardenafil, take it as soon as you can. However, if it is just about time for your next dose, skip the one you forgot and go on with your regular schedule.
