New data for Levitra
Treatment with Levitra can result in an erection in just 10 minutes in some men and in most men within 25 minutes.
Treatment with Levitra can result in an erection in just 10 minutes in some men and in most men within 25 minutes.
A new clinical study that measured the speed with which men with ED can achieve an erection demonstrated that Levitra has the most rapid onset to date of any PDE-5 inhibitor on the market.
The study (called ONTIME - ONseT of Vardenafil In Men with Erectile Dysfunction), presented in the UK, showed that Levitra had a statistically significant response superior to placebo at 10 and 11 minutes with 10 mg and 20 mg doses, respectively. The ON-TIME study assessed the earliest time elapsed from dosing to attainment of an erection adequate for penetration leading to completion of successful intercourse (as measured by SEP31 ).
'The results of the ONTIME study show Levitra demonstrated the fastest onset of action to date, meaning men can be confident and engage in a satisfying sexual experience when they want to,' says Professor Francesco Montorsi, study investigator and Associate Professor of Urology at the Universita' Vita Salute San Raffaele in Milan.
In another study presented at the congress, speed of action was an essential attribute of ED treatment, more so than duration, according to the largest published survey of male sexuality (Men's Attitudes to Life Events and Sexuality [MALES])2. This study found that in men with ED, rapid onset was considered important irrespective of age, while long duration of action became less important as men aged.
'The combined results of these studies demonstrate that men value a rapid onset of action and that Levitra offers patients what they want,' concluded Professor Montorsi.
