What are Vardenafil chewables?

Vardenafil chewable tablets contain the active ingredient Vardenafil, a prescription medication that improves erections. Prescribed for as-needed use, it is one of the most frequently recommended treatments for men seeking a reliable solution to boost sexual performance.

The Vardenafil chewable tablets from BlueChew are a compounded medication, which means they are specifically formulated to the dosage and form that fits your unique needs.

The chewable tablet makes taking your Vardenafil convenient, easy, and enjoyable. Chewable medications are simpler to take and may work faster and better than pills. With a refreshing mint flavor, you pop the tablet in your mouth, chew thoroughly, and wait for the positive effects to kick in.

No water, no swallowing pills, and no bad taste—just simple, subtle, and effective erection-enhancing medication you can take whenever and wherever you desire.

How does Vardenafil work?

Vardenafil is a type of medication known as a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor or PDE5i for short.

It works by preventing the action of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). This enzyme usually breaks down a molecule called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), essential for releasing nitric oxide (NO). When NO is released, it helps to dilate (widen) blood vessels

By stopping PDE5 from breaking down cGMP, Vardenafil increases the levels of NO. This increased NO relaxes the smooth muscles in blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow to the penis.

What does this mean for you?

When you take Vardenafil, it's easier to achieve and maintain a hard, long-lasting erection when you experience sexual stimulation. BlueChew's chewable Vardenafil tablet can lead to better sex and boost your confidence in the bedroom.

What are the sexual health benefits of Vardenafil?

Due to the potent blood flow-enhancing properties of Vardenafil, you can expect harder erections that last longer with increased control over when you finish. Research has shown these benefits can boost confidence in the bedroom.

But that's not all Vardenafil can do for your sex life. Men taking Vardenafil have been shown to experience better orgasms and overall sexual satisfaction, meaning you can expect more fulfilling sexual encounters from every angle.

In fact, men in a 2008 study reported improvements in their erection quality, orgasm satisfaction, confidence, and pleasure while taking Vardenafil. And get this, these benefits weren't limited to the men alone—their partners also reported enhanced sexual experiences.

Similar research exploring the sexual benefits for female partners of men using Vardenafil found that women reported improvements in sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, and orgasm satisfaction. These findings mean Vardenafil may enhance not only your sexual pleasure, but also your partner's.

And let's face it, enhancing pleasure for both you and your partner can reignite your sex life and keep your connection strong. Research has shown that sex is a crucial factor in increasing relationship satisfaction, maintaining an emotional connection, and improving overall well-being.

So, if you were on the fence about whether Vardenafil can improve your sex life, with its long list of erection-enhancing, pleasure-boosting, and relationship-enriching benefits, now it might be hard to say no to this remarkable medication.

How often can I take Vardenafil?

The Vardenafil prescribed through BlueChew is intended for as-needed use, when you are looking for an extra edge in the bedroom.

Your BlueChew medical prescriber will give you exact directions, but generally, you should take your Vardenafil chewable tablet 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity.

Avoid taking it more often than your health care professional recommends.

How long does Vardenafil last?

Vardenafil is a shorter-acting erection-enhancing medication, meaning it's best to use when you're anticipating an intimate moment. It begins working rapidly, typically within 30 minutes, and its effects last between 4 to 6 hours.

If you're out for date night or cooking dinner at home, remember that meals, especially high-fat ones, can impact Vardenafil absorption. For faster results, try taking Vardenafil on a relatively empty stomach. It's also a good idea to skip that martini, as avoiding alcohol enhances the medication's effectiveness.

Due to its need for precise timing and the shorter duration of action, Vardenafil may not be the right erection-boosting medication for everyone. Contact a BlueChew healthcare professional to discuss your specific needs to help you select the best medication and plan for you.

While Vardenafil is typically well-tolerated, it's important to note that, like all prescription medications, it carries a risk of specific side effects.
