Plain-language guide

Vardenafil, explained by our clinical team

What it is

Vardenafil is closely related to sildenafil with a similar duration of action, available as a swallowed tablet and as an orally disintegrating tablet that melts on the tongue.

Some men who get side effects from one PDE5 inhibitor do better on another; vardenafil is a useful alternative.

FDA-approved uses

Erectile dysfunction

Our doctors prescribe for approved uses. Any other use is a decision made only by your doctor, for you, after evaluation.

How it is taken

One tablet about 60 minutes before sexual activity, once a day at most. The dissolving tablet is placed on the tongue without water.

What to expect

Similar effect and side-effect pattern to sildenafil: headache, flushing, stuffy nose, indigestion.

Who should not take it

Anyone taking nitrates or riociguat
Unstable heart disease
Known QT prolongation or medicines that prolong QT

Questions we hear

Why choose vardenafil?

Individual response varies; some men prefer its onset or tolerate it better.

Is the dissolving tablet stronger?

No, but it is absorbed differently and is not interchangeable milligram-for-milligram with the film tablet.

Can I split tablets?

Only the film-coated tablet, and only if your doctor says so.
