Levitra Soft (vardenafil) is an advanced oral medication specifically formulated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). As a chewable, soft tablet formulation, it offers a convenient and rapid alternative to traditional film-coated pills, with an onset of action that can occur in as little as 15 minutes. This medication belongs to the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class, working by increasing blood flow to the penis to facilitate a firm and sustainable erection when sexually stimulated. It is a prescription medication that should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional following a thorough medical evaluation to ensure its appropriateness for your specific health profile.
Features
- Active pharmaceutical ingredient: Vardenafil hydrochloride
- Dosage form: Orally disintegrating/chewable soft tablet
- Available strengths: 10 mg, 20 mg
- Rapid disintegration and absorption; no water required for administration
- Pleasant mint or fruit flavor to enhance patient compliance
- Manufactured under strict pharmaceutical quality control standards
Benefits
- Rapid Onset of Action: The soft tablet formulation allows for quicker absorption compared to standard tablets, potentially leading to an erection within 15-25 minutes after administration.
- Discreet and Convenient Use: The chewable form does not require water, enabling discreet administration anywhere, which can reduce anxiety and performance pressure associated with timing medication around meals or drinks.
- Improved Spontaneity: The fast-acting nature allows for less planning and greater spontaneity in sexual activity, contributing to a more natural intimate experience.
- High Efficacy Rates: Clinical studies demonstrate that vardenafil effectively improves erectile function in a broad range of patients, including those with underlying conditions like diabetes or post-prostatectomy ED.
- Long Duration of Effect: Provides a therapeutic window of up to 4-5 hours, offering flexibility without the need to redose for multiple attempts within that period.
- Enhanced Bioavailability: The formulation is designed to optimize the drug’s absorption profile, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
Common use
Levitra Soft is primarily prescribed for the management of erectile dysfunction, the recurrent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. It is used on an as-needed basis prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its use is indicated for adult males and is not approved for use by women, children, or adolescents. It is effective for ED of various etiologies, including vasculogenic, neurogenic, and psychogenic origins. It is important to understand that this medication is not an aphrodisiac and requires sexual stimulation to be effective.
Dosage and direction
The recommended starting dose for most patients is 10 mg taken approximately 15-60 minutes before sexual activity. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg. The tablet should be placed on the tongue, where it will rapidly disintegrate. It can be chewed or swallowed with saliva; water is not needed. Do not take Levitra Soft more than once in a 24-hour period. The dosage must be individualized by a healthcare provider, who will consider factors such as overall health, underlying medical conditions, and other medications. Taking the medication after a high-fat meal may delay the onset of action.
Precautions
- A comprehensive medical history and physical examination should be conducted to diagnose ED and identify potential underlying causes before prescribing.
- Use with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (e.g., angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie’s disease) or conditions that may predispose them to priapism (e.g., sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia).
- Cardiovascular status should be assessed, as sexual activity carries a potential cardiac risk. PDE5 inhibitors are not recommended for use in men for whom sexual activity is inadvisable due to their cardiovascular status.
- Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) should not use a dose exceeding 5 mg. Dose adjustment should be considered for patients with moderate hepatic impairment.
- Caution is advised in patients with renal impairment, particularly those with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min).
- This medication does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
Contraindications
Levitra Soft is strictly contraindicated in the following scenarios:
- Concomitant administration with any form of organic nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate or dinitrate) or nitric oxide donors in any form. This combination can cause a sudden, life-threatening drop in blood pressure.
- Concomitant use with guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat.
- Known hypersensitivity to vardenafil or any of the excipients in the formulation.
- Patients with a history of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), which has been reported rarely post-marketing in association with PDE5 inhibitor use.
Possible side effect
Like all medications, Levitra Soft can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Most are mild to moderate and transient.
- Very Common (≥1/10): Headache.
- Common (≥1/100 to <1/10): Flushing, dizziness, dyspepsia (indigestion), nasal congestion, rhinitis, myalgia (muscle ache), back pain.
- Uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100): Palpitations, tachycardia (increased heart rate), nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances (e.g., changes in color vision, blurred vision), erectile duration exceeding 4 hours (requires medical attention if prolonged), hypotension (low blood pressure), syncope (fainting).
- Rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000): Priapism (a prolonged and painful erection lasting more than 4 hours; this is a medical emergency that can lead to permanent tissue damage if not treated immediately), hypersensitivity reactions, sudden decrease or loss of hearing, NAION. Seek immediate medical attention for symptoms of a serious allergic reaction or for an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours.
Drug interaction
Vardenafil is primarily metabolized by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4. Concomitant use with inhibitors or inducers of this enzyme pathway can significantly alter its plasma concentration.
- Absolute Contraindication: Nitrates and guanylate cyclase stimulators (as noted above).
- Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Concomitant use with potent inhibitors like ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, indinavir, atazanavir, and clarithromycin is not recommended. If unavoidable, the dose of Levitra Soft should not exceed 5 mg in a 24-hour period.
- Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Including erythromycin and aprepitant. A maximum dose of 5 mg should be considered.
- Alpha-blockers: Used for hypertension or BPH (e.g., doxazosin, tamsulosin). Concomitant use can lead to symptomatic hypotension. PDE5 inhibitors should be initiated only after the patient has been stabilized on alpha-blocker therapy, and the lowest effective dose of each should be used.
- Other Antihypertensives: Vardenafil may add to the blood-pressure-lowering effects of other antihypertensive agents.
- Alcohol: Excessive consumption of alcohol (e.g., 5 units or more) may increase the potential for orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, and increased heart rate.
Missed dose
Levitra Soft is not intended for scheduled daily dosing; it is taken on an as-needed basis. Therefore, the concept of a “missed dose” does not apply. Simply take one tablet when you plan to engage in sexual activity, ensuring at least 24 hours have passed since your last dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Overdose
In cases of overdose exceeding the maximum recommended dose, the expected symptoms would be an extension of the known dose-related adverse effects, including severe headache, pronounced hypotension, flushing, dizziness, and potentially syncope. Standard supportive measures should be employed. Hemodialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as vardenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and not significantly eliminated in the urine. In case of suspected overdose, contact a poison control center or seek emergency medical attention immediately.

The pharmacokinetic profile is reliable, and patient satisfaction regarding spontaneity is notably high.” – Dr. A. Reynolds, MD

- “After trying a standard ED pill, my doctor suggested Levitra Soft. The difference in how quickly it works is remarkable. It has greatly reduced the performance anxiety I used to feel.” – Patient, 58
- “Important to note: while effective, it is not a magic pill. It requires stimulation and will not work without it. Following the doctor’s instructions regarding food and other medications is crucial for it to work properly and safely.” – Patient, 64
