What is Staxyn

VardenafilThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryVardenafil (Levitra) is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. It works by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which prevents the relaxation of the muscles in the penis. When sexual stimulation occurs, nitric oxide is released which activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, leading to an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This cGMP causes the muscles to relax, allowing increased blood flow into the penis, resulting in an erection. By blocking PDE5, Vardenafil increases the amount of cGMP

Effectiveness

How Staxyn Affects PatientsVardenafil is a medication used to treat impotence in men and high blood pressure in the lungs. It works by increasing levels of a certain molecule (cGMP) in the penis, which relaxes the muscles and allows for increased blood flow, resulting in an erection. Vardenafil inhibits an enzyme (PDE5) that breaks down this molecule so that it can achieve the desired effect. However, without sexual stimulation, vardenafil will not cause an erection.
How Staxyn works in the bodyVardenafil helps increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It does this by blocking a molecule called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This molecule normally breaks down the cGMP molecules that help relax the muscles in the penis and allow them to fill with blood. By blocking PDE5, more cGMP molecules are available, which causes the muscles in the penis to relax and allow more blood to flow into the area.

Staxyn for Inability to have an Erection
I have MS and can't feel below the waist. This was by far the best medicine I ever tried for MS related ED. It took hold very quickly and kept me at maximum length and girth for the duration of intercourse. I used the version that dissolved under the tongue.

Staxyn for Inability to have an Erection
I was very pleased with the results of Viagra, especially since it had been a while since I last tried it. The erection was firm and long-lasting. However, the cost is quite high and not covered by insurance.
