Introduction to Varditra 60mg Tablets

Vilitra 10 comprises 10mg of Vardenafil, an active component that acts as a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. By impeding the function of the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) responsible for breaking down cGMP, this medication ensures a prolonged duration of blood engorgement in the penis as long as cGMP remains present.

Vilitra can assist a man in achieving and sustaining an erection necessary for sexual intercourse, in addition to sexual stimulation.
