In the past few years, a new class
of drug has been developed to help men
with ED (erectile dysfunction). Viagra
was the first of these so-called "PDE-5
inhibitors" to be released. Levitra
is the second to be available in the US,
and the third, Cialis, is coming soon.
(All three are currently available in
Europe.)
ED (erectile dysfunction) used to be
blamed on psychological factors. However,
with drugs like Levitra, we now know
that erectile dysfunction is largely
a physical problem. Problems like diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure,
and and simple old age can cause difficulties
in getting and maintaining an erection.
Before drugs like Levitra, erectile
dysfunction was treated with injections
directly into the penis or with penile
implants. With drugs like Levitra, however,
these unpleasant and invasive treatments
are no longer necessary. Just by taking
a simple pill, the vast majority of
men experience improved erections and
successful intercourse.
Levitra doesn't cure ED. You take Levitra
right before you want to have sex. Within
about an hour you are better able to
get an erection, and the effect wears
off a few hours after that. Some people
report lingering positive effects after
that, but for the most part, you'll
need to take Levitra again each time
you want to have sex.
Levitra is not an aphrodisiac. It will
not make you desire sex, it will only
allow you to get an erection if you
are sexually stimulated. It works on
the body, not on the mind. People who
take Levitra are surprised that it doesn't
make them feel any different until they
receive some sexual stimulation. Then
they notice the difference.
