Generic Levitra (Vardenafil)

The German company that makes the erectile dysfunction drug Levitra namely Bayer has reported much increased profits for the second quarter of 2007. Overall the group can report profits before tax, interest, amortization and depreciation of 39 percent up on the preceeding year. Much of this rise in profits is due to the health care section of the company posting strong sales figures for a whole range of drugs. The sale of pharmaceuticals has grown by 117 percent mainly due to increases in sales for new medicines to treat cancer.  However the erectile dysfunction drug Levitra also posted positive figures with an eleven percent increase in sales.
Levitra is the least known and talked about erectile dysfunction drug but it is just as effective as Viagra and Cialis. In independent testing when men were given erectile dysfunction drugs but were not told what brands they were using many of them said that they preferred the drug that turned out to be Levitra. Levitra works in exactly the same way as Viagra in that it is a PDE-5 inhibitor which works for around four hours that is again the same as Viagra.

If you talk to people about erectile dysfunction drugs they will have all heard of Viagra and due to heavy marketing in recent years people are beginning to hear of Cialis. Cialis is famous partly because people hear that it works for 36 hours which is nine times longer than Viagra works for. This sometimes raises eyebrows because they think that this means that the men who use Cialis will have erections for 36 hours if they use the medicine. This is not the case as the erectile dysfunction medicines Viagra, Cialis and Levitra only work when a man is stimulated sexually and it is possible therefore for a man to take any of the three impotence drugs and not notice the effects of it at all.

Levitra is the erectile dysfunction drug that you probably haven’t heard of. Viagra is a household name, Cialis is becoming one but Levitra lags behind in the erectile dysfunction drug stakes. Why is that you may ask? It is not because the drug is not effective or safe, in fact far from it, it is just that Viagra stole the march on the others by being the first to the be on sale which caused a massive media interest and thus it is probably the most famous drug in the world. Even politicians use the word Viagra in speeches to mean a boost, i.e. the economy needs some Viagra etc and they know that the word will get people’s attention too.

Levitra in independent testing was seen to be as effective as Viagra when given to men in controlled clinical tests. In fact one such test that we reported on compared the effectiveness of the Viagra and Levitra drugs in parallel with men being given erectile dysfunction drugs blind and thus they were not aware of whether they were taking the sildenafil drug (Viagra) or the vardenafil drug (Levitra).

Is there a difference between Viagra and Levitra then you might ask? Well from feedback from Ukmedix patients and from the research that we have conducted it seems that some men just find one impotence drug just agrees with them more than another one and there is not really a clear evidence as to why that is the case.

In the same way that some people prefer asprin to panadol some men prefer Levitra to Viagra and scientists just don’t know why. In the case of erectile dysfunction drugs some men say that they get better erections with say Levitra and some men say that they feel less of the minimal side effects with it too. The same goes for Viagra with one man saying that he just could last longer with Viagra and he had no idea why.

In any case it is the doctor who ultimately decides which erectile dysfunction drug you should use but he obviously will be interested and will take note of your feedback before he prescribes any impotence drug for you.

The Ukmedix forums that are extremely popular with our patients have a host of advice and information about using Levitra and the others Cialis and Viagra. It might be worth checking them out if you are not sure which drug you think is best for you.

Ukmedix is always on the look out for news stories on all the products that we sell. We have noticed that hardly anything comes up on the Levitra erectile dysfunction drug that is sold by the pharmaceutical company Bayer and it appears that Levitra is keeping a much lower profile than the other two impotence drugs Viagra and Cialis.

Viagra is always in the news, whether its is some new research project involving a new use for the sildenafil drug or some copyright issue you can be sure that in some part of the world Viagra is a hot topic of conversation. Levitra on the other hand is the quiet one, rarely getting a mention in the news and quietly being launched in different parts of the world.

Despite this Levitra sells and is making money for Bayer. Levitra often perceived to be the latecomer into the impotence market has been tested alongside Viagra in independent placebo controlled double blind clinical trials and has been seen to be almost identically as effective as Viagra. Some men said that they preferred the Viagra and others said that they preferred the Levitra (they had no idea which was which at the time) and they were just referred to as Tablet 1 and Tablet 2.

It seems that Bayer are concentrating most off their promotion efforts at doctors who are really the ultimate deciders of which erectile dysfunction drug that you will receive as they are the ones that prescribe and effectively give you permission to buy them.

Most men who suffer from impotence will automatically ask a doctor to prescribe Viagra as that is the one they have heard of and very few men will ask for Levitra as they haven’t heard of it or it is just because they associate impotence more with Viagra than they do with Levitra. This is quite normal and by targeting doctors and telling them about the benefits of Levitra, Bayer hope to encourage more doctors to recommend Levitra as an effective alternative to Pfizer’s Viagra.

At Ukmedix we have seen from feedback that some men prefer Viagra and find that it works better for them and other prefer Levitra and often the best drug is the one that you feel happy with.
