Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection that’s good for sex. This can happen for many reasons, like health problems, stress, or worries. Finding out what’s causing the ED is important for getting the right help.

One medication that can help with erectile dysfunction is vardenafil. It works by helping blood flow to the penis, which makes it easier to get and keep an erection when you’re turned on. Vardenafil is part of a group of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors that help with ED by relaxing blood vessels in the penis.

Vardenafil usually works for about 4 to 6 hours after you take it. This means you should have better erections during this time, as long as you’re sexually aroused.

In terms of how long vardenafil stays in your system, it has a half-life of around 4 to 5 hours. The half-life is how long it takes for the drug level in your blood to drop by half. It typically takes about 5 half-lives for a drug to be mostly cleared from your body. So, vardenafil usually leaves your system within 24 to 30 hours after you take it.
