Levitra Survey Smashes Stereotypes
A survey carried out by Bayer, makers of erectile dysfunction drug Levitra, has smashed stereotypes about nationalities’ sexual practices.
While the French are often perceived to be more relaxed, and more romantic than people of other nationalities, 76% said they sometimes suffered from a lack of sexual response. Reasons included work and family stress. Spanish men may be seen as “hot-headed” and Americans as puritanical, but another sexual survey by Pfizer, who make Viagra, showed a similar level of sexual satisfaction reported by both. People from poorer countries were more likely to be satisfied with their sex lives. And all over the world, a similar level of people said that sex was “important” to leading a fulfilling life.
Viagra as a primary method of treatment of erectile dysfunction
Treatment for men unable to have an erection took a great leap forward when the first oral erectile dysfunction (ED) medication, Viagra (sildenafil), was introduced in 1998. But there have been strides recently in a host of other ED treatments, ranging from over-the-counter pumps to surgical implants and suppositories.
Diagnosing your own ED is not a good idea, however. If you have trouble getting an erection, it’s important to see a doctor before pursuing any sort of treatment. There could be a medical explanation for your condition, and your health and sexual history may come into play.
Levitra Improves Erectile Function
Levitra Improves Erectile Function in Patients Taking High Blood Pressure Medications.
Levitra is one of three FDA approved oral phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors which are used to treat erectile dysfunction. The other two are Cialis and Viagra. PDE5 inhibitors relax narrowed or hardened penile arteries to the point where they will allow blood to enter the penis and create an erection in patients with ED.
Levitra – a step ahead of Viagra
In reality, most people need 50mg or 100mg dosage of Viagra tablets for better results. 25mg Viagra does not seem to work for most. Whereas, Levitra comes in considerably dosage forms of 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, with 10mg dose working effectively for most people.
Levitra is also a step ahead of Viagra as lesser dosage means lesser probability of side effects. In this sense, you might experience fewer side effects with Levitra and you can wipe out the chances of experiencing the nasty side effects of Viagra.
Can Viagra work for women?
Sex sells. I suppose this is why the results of a study entitled “Sildenafil Treatment of Women with Antidepressant Associated Sexual Dysfunction” were reported with great enthusiasm around the world after they were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Jama). Yet the study is interesting for a number of reasons.
Sildenafil was originally sold as Viagra. Despite its success in treating men, there has been no equivalent drug for women. In the UK, there is only one licensed drug, Intrinsa, which is used in specific circumstances for female libido problems after gynaecological surgery.
