How is vardenafil prescribed?

Usually 10 mg taken 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, with doses that can be adjusted to 5 or 20 mg based on response and tolerance.

What important contraindications apply?

It must not be combined with nitrates and requires caution in arrhythmias or long QT. The doctor reviews your cardiovascular history and medication with you before prescribing.

Can it be combined with alcohol or food?

Light meals do not affect it significantly. Very fatty meals can delay onset. Alcohol in moderate amounts is usually compatible, but excess worsens erectile function on its own.

Can I get a consultation for Vardenafil from Lisbon?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Lisbon you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid in any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

Is my sexual health consultation fully confidential?

Yes. All communication happens in the private chat of your account, GDPR-compliant. The doctor treats discretion as a core of the service and there is no history visible outside your consultation.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

About

What is Vardenafil?

Active ingredient: Vardenafil · Dosages: 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.

How it works in the body

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.
