Question 1

How Long Does Vardenafil Last?

Accepted Answer

Vardenafil HCl typically begins working within 30 to 60 minutes after taking a dose. The effects generally last 4-6 hours, although this does not mean you will have a constant erection during that time. An erection occurs only with sexual stimulation. Individual responses may vary depending on age, metabolism, food intake, and overall health.

Question 2

When Is the Best Time to Take Vardenafil HCl?

Accepted Answer

Vardenafil HCl is typically taken about 60 minutes before sexual activity. Some men may notice effects slightly earlier (around 30 minutes), while others may require closer to one hour. Taking it on an empty stomach or after a light meal may result in a faster onset than after a heavy, high-fat meal.
