Generic Levitra

What Is Levitra?

Generic Levitra, also commonly known as Vardenafil is a popular medication that is used to treat Erectile dysfunction in men. The main manufacturers of generic Levitra are Teva, Macleods Pharmaceuticals, Par Pharmaceuticals, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, and Crossmedika SA. 

Generic Vs. Brand Name

When a new formula or active compound is developed, a patent is filed for a few years by the manufacturer that prevents other companies from selling and manufacturing similar medication with a similar active compound. This is where the medication gets its brand name. The marketing team of the pharmaceutical company applies an easy-to-pronounce name to their medicine to help sell it. 

Once the patent expires, other companies can manufacture similar medications with the same active ingredient, and these medications are called generics.

How Does Levitra Work?

The active composition of Levitra, Vardenafil, belongs to a group of medications known as phosphodiesterase-type-5 inhibitors. It works by blocking the phosphodiesterase enzyme, which normally breaks down a compound called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

During sexual arousal, cGMP is produced in the penis, where it causes the muscles in the penis to relax. This results in blood to flow into the penis, producing an erection. 

Levitra blocks the breakdown of cGMP and,  as a result, restores erectile function.
