Erectile Dysfunction, also known as Impotence,
is a problem faced by most men today. It refers to the inability to develop or
maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It can be caused by
stress or any upheaval a person is going through in a relationship. Inability
to get an erection occurs when there is not enough blood flow in the penile
nerve. Medications like Levitra,
among many other ED pills, help those who are suffering from impotence to get
over it. Levitra helps in relaxing the muscles found in the walls of blood
vessels and increases blood flow to particular areas of the body. The generic
name of Levitra is vardenafil.
It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat
impotence. Let us know more about Levitra.
