Generic Levitra Uses?
Generic Levitra® (vardenafil HCl) is a medicine that may be used up to once a day to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Generic Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the penis to relax, which effectively increases blood flow. Thus, allowing the penis to become and stay harder longer.
