LEVITRA vs Viagra
- The original function of Viagra was to aid angina
patients. It was later revealed to help men battling
erectile dysfunction as well. LEVITRA is a ground-breaking
drug created to help men suffering with erectile
dysfunction.
- Viagra is active in the body 30 minutes after dosing
and remained active for a minimum of 4 hours. After a dose
of LEVITRA, peak erection levels were achieved in mean
times of 30-36 mins. Levitra only tended to work for ~12
hours in elderly patients (65 years+). It only tended to
work for a period of 9 ½ hours in patients younger than
65. According to clinical studies, Viagra can stay in the
human system for up to 4 hours.
- Specific tissues in a man’s penis relax at times of
sexual arousal. An erection is produced by the large blood
flow induced by the relaxing tissue. Viagra helps to boost
the amount of chemicals causing the tissue to relax.
Levitra does the same thing as Viagra, it blocks the
phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme, also called PDE-5. The penis’
smooth muscles are then relaxed, causing blood flow
increase.

- When tested, depending on dose taken, Viagra was able
to be successful 60%-80% of the time. Some claim that it
is not guaranteed to work the first time received. When
comparing LEVITRA we find that it works 95% of the time
and works for 72 to 90 percent of men the first time
taken.
- An overlap of the retina with PDE-6, causing a blue
tint in vision, was only reported by Viagra patients
(<0.5%), but LEVITRA patients have reported facial
flushing, headaches, and mild cases of indigestion. Vision
problems associated with taking Viagra include blurry
vision, light sensitivity, or lacking the capability to
differentiate between blue and green.
Levitra comes in 20 mg, 10 mg, and 5 mg. 4 and 8 comp.
Viagra comes in 50 mg, 100 mg. 4-8 comp. / 100mg (30 tablets
