Generic Vardenafil Tablets (Valif 20 mg Tablets) - Product Information
Vardenafil is a Phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor, available in the form of tablets for oral administration. Vardenafil Hydrochloride tablets are intended as an oral remedy for erectile dysfunction in men, who are unable to experience or maintain a proper erection during sexual activity.
The major cause of erectile dysfunction in men is due to the constriction of blood vessels in the penis which results in lower blood flow. Vardenafil tablets helps in maintaining an erection by relaxing the blood vessel which lead to improved blood flow.

Valif Mechanism of Action – How Does Vardenafil Hydrochloride Work?
Vardenafil belongs to class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor. Vardenafil Hydrochloride tablets prevents the activity of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5.
An erection during sexual stimulation develops from a cascade of events. This process requires the signals from the nervous system which would result in the release of chemical messengers in the penis. One such chemical messenger involved in this process is called cyclic GMP. Cyclic GMP relaxes the blood vessels, resulting in an increase in the size of the blood vessels in the penis. This increase in blood vessel size permits more blood to flow into the penis, which ultimately results in the penis becoming firm and erect.
Usually, cyclic GMP is suppressed by another enzyme in the body called phosphodiesterase type 5. Vardenafil Hydrochloride tablet prevents the activity of phosphodiesterase type 5, thus inhibiting the suppression of cyclic GMP. If the cyclic GMPs are available to increase the size of blood vessels, the blood vessels are kept widened for a longer period of time, continuing the enhanced blood flow to the penis and maintaining a longer erection.
As Vardenafil tablets indirectly boosts the activity of cyclic GMPS which are responsible for generating an erection, Vardenafil Hydrochloride tablets will only have an effect once these messengers are in circulation i.e. sexual stimulation is required for cyclic GMPs to produce and sustain an erection. Vardenafil dose should be taken roughly 25 minutes to one hour before the sexual activity. The effect of Vardenafil HCl 20 mg tablets can last for around four to five hours.

Overdose
The maximum dose of Vardenafil (Valif tablets) for which human data are available is a single 120 mg dose administered to healthy male volunteers. The majority of these subjects experienced reversible back pain/myalgia and/or “abnormal vision.” Single doses up to 80 mg Vardenafil and multiple doses up to 40 mg Vardenafil administered once daily over 4 weeks were tolerated without producing serious adverse side effects. When 40 mg of Vardenafil was administered twice daily, cases of severe back pain were observed. No muscle or neurological toxicity was identified.
In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be taken as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as Vardenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and not significantly eliminated in the urine.
