Just a few months since the release of Bayer’s new dissolvable version of their well-known ED medicine comparisons are being made with the film-coated tablets. In particular there has been much speculation about just how quickly the new Levitra Orodispersible tabs begin to work. Discussions on the topic have seen estimations starting at under 10mins ranging to almost an hour, so in just how much time will Levitra Orodispersible get to work?
The UK patient leaflet supplied by the drug manufacturer Bayer suggests that patients wait around 60 minutes before the expecting the desired effects to show. Whereas the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) patient leaflet for Levitra Vardenafil film-coated tablets suggests the patient reaction time may in some cases be quicker than 60 minutes: The recommended dose of Levitra is 10 mg, taken with or without food, about 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. If Levitra is taken with a high fat meal, the onset of activity may be delayed. The EMEA is the agency responsible for the scientific evaluation of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the European Union, and the text above can be located on the European Bayer ED help site in-bed.info.
The type and amount of food consumed before taking Levitra and resulting speed of digestion are therefore important factors in the absorption rate of the medicine. As the Vardenafil Orodispersible version by-passes the digestive tract altogether the average reaction time is expected to be quicker compared to the film-coated tablets. Based on this information, a reaction time of under 20minutes is realistic in some people especially when either no food has been consumed in the hours prior to taking the medication.
Comparing the two documents it does seem the patient leaflet supplied with the medications is far more conservative. This is because medications’ patient leaflets and studies are put together on both local and international scales which can lead to some discrepancies in information available. This does not mean the information is wrong or misleading, but reflects the differing results experienced by those who take the treatment.
