How Does Vardenafil 10mg Work?

Vardenafil belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This action helps achieve and maintain a firm erection, enabling satisfying sexual activity. Vardenafil requires sexual arousal to be effective.
