In Stock - From £12.99
What is Vardenafil?
Vardenafil, available as a prescription-only treatment for erectile dysfunction, functions by enhancing blood flow to the penis, facilitating the attainment and maintenance of an erection. With an onset of action within 30 minutes, it can last up to 6 hours and has proven effective in approximately 70% of men.
What is vardenafil used to treat?
Vardenafil is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition in which men have trouble with achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating the dilation of blood vessels, and thereby aiding in the attainment and maintenance of an erection.
Who can and cannot take medicines containing vardenafil?
Certain medications may not be suitable for individuals with specific conditions, and in some cases, a medication may require extra caution during use. Inform your doctor of the following before initiating vardenafil treatment:
any disease, injury, or deformity affecting your penis
pre-existing heart condition or blood vessel disease
history of eye conditions leading to vision loss
low blood pressure or angina
impairments in liver or kidney function
past stroke or heart attack
conditions associated with bleeding, such as a stomach ulcer
sickle cell disease
previous experience with bone marrow cancer or leukaemia
use of other medications, including over-the-counter, herbal, complementary, and recreational drugs
any history of allergic reactions to medications
Medication Interactions: You may be unable to take vardenafil if you are currently using medications such as:
nitrates (e.g., isosorbide mononitrate, glyceryl trinitrate)
some antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin)
antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole and itraconazole)
antivirals (e.g., ritonavir and saquinavir)
alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin, doxazosin, alfuzosin)
other erectile dysfunction medications (e.g., Viagra, Levitra, etc.)
How effective is vardenafil?
Vardenafil 10mg treats erectile dysfunction in up to 87% of cases. Most men find it works quicker than other erectile dysfunction treatments. If you have eaten a high-fat meal or drunk more than 1-2 units of alcohol, you may find it takes longer to work or is less effective.

Always read the patient information leaflet for Vardenafil before taking it.
The effects of vardenafil can last for up to 6 hours.
Vardenafil takes approximately 30 minutes to work, so it’s recommended to take the medication between half an hour to one hour before engaging in sexual activity.
Adhere to your doctor's instructions for taking vardenafil.
Consume vardenafil approximately one hour before your planned sexual activity.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Refrain from consuming heavy meals or alcohol before taking vardenafil, as these factors can diminish its effectiveness and prolong the onset of action.
Limit your intake to one tablet within a 24-hour period, as exceeding this dosage can lead to severe side effects.
Avoid combining vardenafil with any other erectile dysfunction medication.
Vardenafil is available in tablet form, with three dosage options: 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. The 5mg dose is often prescribed for individuals who have encountered side effects with higher doses or those with health conditions that make higher doses unsafe. It is also suitable for those taking other medications, minimising the risk of interactions and side effects. The 10mg dose is often the initial prescription, especially for first-time users, and adjustments can be made based on individual needs or liver conditions. The maximum dose, 20mg, is reserved for those who have previously tried 10mg without success and experienced no side effects. Exceeding the 20mg limit poses risks of complications, and alternative erectile dysfunction treatments can be explored if needed. Always consult your doctor for personalised dosage recommendations.
According to the patient information leaflet, you may still be able to achieve an erection four to five hours after taking a Vardenafil tablet.

Great service
Great service. With good liaison with my GP. And order always efficiently delivered. So much easier than queueing at the local chemist. I started using Pharmacy2U during the pandemic and no turning back.

I get reminders when I need to order. It is easy to order and I get updates to let me know how my order is progressing. Within a very short time it is put out for delivery. It is then up to Royal Mail to post it through my letterbox.

Losing the monthly stress
Being able to request my prescription from the doctors and knowing that the items I require will be delivered to my door without delay. Originally I would go to the pharmacy after a 5 day wait to find that my prescription was not ready, so thank you for making my life easier.

Excellent service. Timely as ever. Prompted by P2U to re-order. From sending order to receipt was 7 days. Excellent as it includes GP’s approval sign off.
