Levitra (Vardenafil) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Levitra? 

Levitra, with the generic name vardenafil hydrochloride, is indicated to treat sexual dysfunction (impotence or erectile dysfunction) among adult men. This medication only addresses impotence and cannot protect patients from sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, and HIV. 

This oral medication works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels and increasing blood circulation to the penis, which results in an erection. It is available in Levitra 20 mg, 10 mg, 5 mg, and 2.5 mg film-coated tablets.
