IN PAROLE SEMPLICI
Vardenafil è una compressa con obbligo di ricetta per la disfunzione erettile, autorizzata in tutta l’UE dal 2003. Agisce come sildenafil e tadalafil: mantiene rilassati i vasi sanguigni del pene affinché il sangue possa affluire durante l’eccitazione sessuale. Normalmente si assume da 25 a 60 minuti prima del rapporto sessuale ed esiste anche come compressa che si scioglie sulla lingua. Come le altre compresse di questo gruppo, non deve mai essere assunto con medicinali nitrati per il cuore.
Vardenafil 5/10/20mg è autorizzato per l’uso nell’UE dal 6 marzo 2003. Un medico abilitato può quindi prescriverlo quando è clinicamente adatto a Lei.

CHE COS’È
Vardenafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme that normally ends an erection, so the blood vessels in the penis stay relaxed and fill with blood when a man is sexually aroused.

Sul trattamento
Commercializzato anche come Levitra.
Principio attivo: Vardenafil · Dosaggi: 5 / 10 / 20 mg on demand
Vardenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor with fast onset and high selectivity. Some people who had side effects with sildenafil tolerate it well — the doctor weighs which PDE5 fits your case best.
It's usually prescribed as 10 mg taken 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, with doses adjustable to 5 or 20 mg based on response and tolerance. Light meals don't affect it significantly; very fatty meals can delay onset.
COME AGISCE
Vardenafil inhibits the PDE5 enzyme with high selectivity, improving penile blood flow in response to sexual stimulation — with an onset around 25 minutes and an effect lasting about 5 hours.
Sexual stimulation makes nerves and blood vessel linings in the penis release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide switches on an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, which builds up a messenger chemical known as cyclic GMP inside the smooth muscle of the erectile tissue.
Cyclic GMP relaxes that smooth muscle, so the arteries widen and blood flows into the corpus cavernosum, the two spongy chambers that run along the penis. That inflow is what produces an erection. Your body then steadily breaks the cyclic GMP down again.
Vardenafil blocks PDE5, the enzyme that breaks cyclic GMP down and the most abundant one in penile tissue. Cyclic GMP therefore lasts longer and the relaxation is stronger. Sexual stimulation is still required, because without it no nitric oxide is released in the first place.
Come aiuta
Acts in about 25–60 minutes with a consistent response.
Some people who didn't tolerate sildenafil do well on vardenafil.
Cardiovascular history — including arrhythmias — is reviewed before prescribing.
Cosa aspettarsi
On demand, before sexual activity. The doctor starts from the standard dose and adjusts based on your response.
Doses your doctor can prescribe
NELLA VITA QUOTIDIANA
Vardenafil is taken only when you plan to have sex, roughly 25 to 60 minutes beforehand. It is not a daily tablet. The most you should take is one dose in any 24 hours.
The tablet does not create an erection by itself. Sexual stimulation is required, because your body has to release nitric oxide first before vardenafil has anything to act on. Without arousal, nothing happens.
Film-coated tablets can be taken with or without food. A high-fat meal, around 57% fat, slows absorption and pushes the peak blood level back by about an hour, so the onset can feel later than usual.
Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while you are taking vardenafil. Grapefruit weakly blocks the gut enzyme that clears the drug, which can push blood levels up. The EU product information advises avoiding the combination.
If you are prescribed the 10 mg orodispersible tablet, place it on your tongue with no liquid at all, then swallow once it has dissolved. Taken with water, absorption falls by 29%.
The 10 mg orodispersible tablet is not bioequivalent to the 10 mg film-coated tablet, so the two are not interchangeable milligram for milligram. Only your prescriber should move you between them.
If the first attempt disappoints, tell your prescriber rather than giving up. Dose, timing and enough stimulation all matter, and the dose can be raised to 20 mg or lowered to 5 mg.
Tell your prescriber about all your medicines, including nitrate sprays or tablets for angina, poppers, HIV treatments, antifungals and heart-rhythm drugs. Several of these combinations are unsafe and change what can be prescribed.
Sicurezza prima di tutto
Vardenafil 5/10/20mg è un farmaco efficace — e, come ogni farmaco, comporta dei rischi. Il medico verifica tutto questo prima di prescrivere. Ecco il quadro onesto, non solo una rassicurazione.

CHI NON DEVE ASSUMERLO E CHI RICHIEDE CAUTELA
| FARMACO O SOSTANZA | COSA PUÒ ACCADERE | COSA FA IL MEDICO |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrates and nitric oxide donors (GTN spray, isosorbide, poppers) | Can cause a sudden, unpredictable and dangerous fall in blood pressure | Absolute contraindication, so the prescriber will not issue vardenafil at all |
| Riociguat and other guanylate cyclase stimulators | Adds to the blood-pressure-lowering effect and can cause symptomatic hypotension | Contraindicated, so the prescriber considers a different option entirely |
| Other PDE5 inhibitors or other erectile dysfunction treatments | Combinations have not been studied, and add to the blood-pressure and priapism risk | Not recommended, so the prescriber keeps you on one treatment only |
| Class IA and III heart-rhythm drugs (quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, sotalol) | Vardenafil itself lengthened the QTc interval by about 8 msec at 10 mg | Best avoided under the EU label; the prescriber reviews QT risk first |
| HIV protease inhibitors (ritonavir, indinavir) | Ritonavir raised vardenafil exposure 49-fold and indinavir raised it 16-fold | Contraindicated, so the prescriber will not combine them |
| Oral ketoconazole and itraconazole | Ketoconazole 200 mg raised vardenafil exposure roughly 10-fold | Should be avoided, and is contraindicated in men over 75 years |
| Erythromycin and clarithromycin | Erythromycin raised vardenafil exposure about 4-fold | The prescriber caps the vardenafil dose at 5 mg |
| Alpha-blockers (tamsulosin, alfuzosin, terazosin, doxazosin) | Both widen blood vessels, so blood pressure can drop and cause fainting | Start at 5 mg only once stable on the alpha-blocker, separating doses |
EVIDENZE
Across the fixed-dose phase 3 trials summarised in the EU product information for vardenafil, more sexual attempts ended in successful penetration and a maintained erection on vardenafil than on placebo.

Fonte: Levitra (vardenafil): EU Summary of Product Characteristics, film-coated and orodispersible tabletsThese figures are averages across large groups of men, not a promise about any one person. A sizeable share of attempts on placebo also succeeded in the same trials, which is why the gap between vardenafil and placebo matters more than the headline percentage on its own. Your own response depends on the cause of the erectile dysfunction, your other health conditions, the dose and the timing, so it may sit above or below these numbers.
