Common use
Snovitra tablets are a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. The active ingredient in Snovitra is vardenafil, which belongs to a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Vardenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis, thereby helping men achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity.
Dosage and direction
Snovitra is usually taken orally, about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The effects of vardenafil can last for up to 4-6 hours, providing a window of time during which the medication can facilitate erections. It’s important to note that sexual stimulation is still required for vardenafil to work effectively, as the medication does not induce an erection without arousal.
