How does The Vilitra 20mg Tablet Work?

Vilitra 20mg works through its active ingredient, Vardenafil, that resolves the physiological causes of erectile dysfunction (ED). Vardenafil is an important inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which plays a key role in regulating blood flow in the penile region. By blocking PDE5, Vilitra 20mg promotes the relaxation of smooth muscles in the blood vessels and enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.

Under normal circumstances, sexual arousal triggers the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the penile tissues. This activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, which increases the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). High levels of cGMP may lead to the relaxation of smooth muscles present in the blood vessels in the corpus cavernosum, the spongy tissue of the penis. This process allows an increased flow of blood that results in an erection. In men with ED, the activity of PDE5 blocks this process by breaking down cGMP too quickly, preventing the required blood flow and leading to difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection.

Vilitra 20mg counters this problem by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, allowing cGMP to accumulate and persist longer in the penile tissues. This sustained presence of cGMP ensures proper muscle relaxation and improved blood flow, providing a firm and lasting erection during sexual activity. It is important to note that Vilitra 20mg requires sexual arousal to be effective; the medication does not produce an erection on its own.

The effects of Vilitra 20mg usually begin within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion and can last for up to 4 to 6 hours. This duration provides a suitable window for sexual activity without the need for frequent dosing. This medication should not be taken more than once within a 24 hour period.

 Vilitra 20mg is not a cure for ED or a substitute for addressing the preexisting causes of the condition. Proper medical guidance is essential to ensure safe and effective use, especially for people with ongoing medical conditions or those taking other medications. Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor for any concerns.
