Levitra Action Explained
Levitra is applied for erectile dysfunction therapy. Erection is caused by increased blood flow. In order for an erection to be successful, the relaxation of smooth muscles of cavernous bodies and arterioles, which are located inside the cavernous bodies, is necessary. When the brain receives signals from erogenous zones, nerve receptors of cavernous bodies produce nitric oxide, which affects some other substances, as a result of which smooth muscles of cavernous bodies relax. Blood can freely enter a cavernous body and fill it.
Levitra’s effect is that it does not allow 5-type phosphodiesterase to act. This substance inhibits the process of nitric oxide interaction with certain biologically active substances, which does not allow to relax muscles. Under this drug influence, the activity of nitric oxide increases, thus an erection is achieved, and sexual intercourse becomes possible. Similar action has some other specialized drugs. Levitra’s effect does not depend on the patient’s age. When testing the drug in clinics it was proved that Levitra is equally effective in the treatment of young and older patients suffering from erectile dysfunction. Tests have been conducted that have shown the same effect of Levitra in patients with renal insufficiency and healthy patients. The maximum Levitra dose in the body affects the patient’s liver. It is not desirable to use the drug in case of severe liver dysfunction.
