How Does Levitra Work?

Levitra is one of the few drugs licensed for treatment of erectile dysfunction - the most widespread sexual disorder in men. The drug is characterized by high effectiveness levels helping many men suffering from impotence get and maintain erection.

Levitra works by blocking PDE-5, a chemical that reduces blood flow to the penis, thus allowing men to get and maintain erection for longer.

To better understand the mechanism behind Levitra, it is important to know what erection and erectile dysfunction are.

Erection occurs every time that nerve signals are sent from the brain to the penis. They affect a special chemical that helps constricted penis muscles to relax, releasing the blood flow to the penis. It is exactly the blood that causes erection.

Erectile dysfunction is a disorder that is caused by a chemical known as phosphodiesterase type 5, or shortly PDE5. It negatively affects the chemicals, which enable the flow of blood to the penis, thus preventing penis muscles from relaxing. Levitra blocks the PDE5 chemicals, thus preserving the “good” chemicals responsible for the relaxation of penis muscles and blood flow.

You can buy levitra online once you have been prescribed to take this drug by a doctor.
