Levitra is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. Levitra is one brand name of a drug that also goes by the names of Staxyn and Vivanza (in India and Italy respectively). Generic Levitra (Vardenafil) is also available.

The recommended dose, for first-time users of Levitra is 10mg. 2.5mg, 5mg and 20mg doses are also available. If you do not find 10mg effective, you may be able to increase or decrease your dosage to 20mg. Alternatively, if you experience several side effects or prolonged unwanted effects, you may be best lowering your dose to 2.5mg or 5mg. If after changing your dosage, you still do not experience the desired effects, you could change to a different type of erectile dysfunction medication, such as Viagra, Cialis or Spedra. If you are unsure which brand to take, you could try an ED Trial Pack to find out which treatment suits you best.
