WHAT VIVANZA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vivanza contains vardenafil, a member of a class of medicines called
phosphodiesterase type 5
inhibitors. They are used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in
adult men, a condition which
implies difficulties in getting or keeping an erection.
At least one in ten men has trouble getting or keeping an erection at
some time. There may be physical or
psychological causes, or a mixture of both. Whatever the cause is, due
to muscle and blood vessel
changes not enough blood stays in the penis to make it hard and keep
it hard.
Vivanza will only work when you are sexually stimulated. It reduces
the action of the natural chemical
in your body which makes erections go away. Vivanza allows an erection
to last long enough for you to
satisfactorily complete sexual activity.
