Levitra contains vardenafil, which is a phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor indicated for the management of erectile dysfunction. It causes smooth muscle
relaxation. Peak plasma concentrations are achieved within 30–120 minutes
and onset of action is expected within 25–60 minutes. It has a low bioavailability of around 15%. Onset of action may be delayed if the drug is
administered with a high-fat meal because the rate of absorption is reduced.
