Vitara V 60 mg (Vardenafil) – Overview

Vitara V 60 mg is a generic medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains Vardenafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection.

Indications

Vitara V 60 mg is prescribed for:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): The inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

Mechanism of Action

Vardenafil works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By preventing this breakdown, Vardenafil increases cGMP levels, leading to relaxation of smooth muscles and dilation of blood vessels in the penis, thereby enhancing blood flow and facilitating an erection.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dosage: One 60 mg tablet taken approximately 30 to 60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity.

• Frequency: Do not take more than one dose within a 24-hour period.

• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Flushing

• Nasal congestion

• Indigestion

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Priapism (prolonged or painful erection lasting more than 4 hours)

• Sudden vision loss in one or both eyes

• Sudden hearing decrease or loss

• Chest pain or irregular heartbeat
