VILITRA-40 is manufactured in India by Centurion Laboratories, a generic form of Vardenafil and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. The medication works by relaxing the muscles and increasing blood flow in the penis. VILITRA-40 is an erectile dysfunction medication sold under various brand names. VILITRA-40 is a PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) enzyme inhibitor. The active ingredient vardenafil works by blocking the action of the enzyme, allowing the smooth muscles in the arteries of the penis to relax which increases the flow of blood, triggering an erection when combined with physical or psychological sexual stimulation.
