Valif (vardenafil) is a prescription medication specifically formulated to address erectile dysfunction (ED) by enhancing blood flow to the penis, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is clinically proven to improve erectile function in adult men. Proper usage under medical guidance ensures optimal results while minimizing potential risks. This treatment is intended for use in conjunction with sexual stimulation and is not indicated for use by women or children.

Common use

Valif is primarily prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. It is used on an as-needed basis prior to anticipated sexual activity. The medication works by increasing blood flow to the penile tissues when sexual stimulation occurs, thereby supporting the natural erectile process. It is not an aphrodisiac and does not increase sexual desire.

Dosage and direction

The recommended starting dose is 10mg taken orally approximately 25-60 minutes before sexual activity. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 20mg or decreased to 5mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day. Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and may be taken with or without food, though high-fat meals may delay onset of action.

Precautions

• Not for use by women or individuals under 18 years of age
• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption (may increase risk of side effects)
• Not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment
• Caution advised in patients with anatomical penile deformity
• Regular medical follow-up recommended for ongoing treatment

Contraindications

• Concomitant use with nitrates or nitric oxide donors
• Hypersensitivity to vardenafil or any component of the formulation
• Patients with severe hepatic impairment
• Concurrent use with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors in certain populations
• Patients with hereditary degenerative retinal disorders

Possible side effects

• Headache (most common)
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Dyspepsia
• Dizziness
• Back pain
• Myalgia
• Visual disturbances (including blurred vision and color tinge)
• Priapism (prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours - requires immediate medical attention)

Drug interaction

• Contraindicated with nitrates (may cause severe hypotension)
• Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, ritonavir) may increase vardenafil concentrations
• Alpha-blockers may enhance hypotensive effects
• Grapefruit juice may increase bioavailability
• Other PDE5 inhibitors should not be used concurrently

Missed dose

As Valif is taken on an as-needed basis, there is no scheduled dosing regimen. If a dose is missed, simply take the medication when needed for subsequent sexual activity, ensuring at least 24 hours have passed since the last dose.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include severe headache, visual disturbances, dizziness, syncope, and prolonged erection. Standard supportive measures should be employed, with particular attention to maintaining blood pressure and adequate hydration.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15-30°C/59-86°F) in the original container. Keep tightly closed and protected from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
