Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg

Vardenafil 20 mg gel is not taken with water or liquids. You must place the jelly in your mouth to dissolve it. The Vardenafil 20 mg jelly is then directly absorbed to deliver its benefits.

• Here are some important points that you should keep in mind while taking Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg:
• You can take it with or without good food, but the food should be light.
• You should take the oral gel 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity.
• You should not use more than one dose of Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg in less than 24 hours.
• Read the instructions and terms of use on the medicine sachet before using it.

However, different erectile dysfunction drugs, most of which are PDE-5 inhibitors, can give different results depending on the patient. In one study, 69% of patients taking the drug said their erections had improved. (2) In comparison, only 26% of patients taking a placebo had improved erections. Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg, when taken before sexual activity, starts working within 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion.

On the other hand, tablets usually take an average of 60 minutes to start working. Therefore, it could be concluded that Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg works faster than generic Vardenafil 20 mg tablets.

This is mainly due to the gelatinous texture and composition of the drug, which makes it easier to absorb than tablets. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim so far.

Knowledge of drug interactions plays a crucial role in the success of a prescribed medication. For example, if your doctor prescribes you two medications that could interact, you could even risk death in the worst case scenario. That's why learning about the drug interaction of 20mg oral jelly is essential for a satisfying sexual experience. These are the medications with which Vardenafil 20 mg reacts:

• Quinidine

• Itraconazole

• Ritonavir

• Efavirenz

• Amiodarone

• Procainamide

• Indinavir

• Antihypertensives

• Riociguat

• HIV and hepatitis medications

• Nitrates

• Clarithromycin

• Ketoconazole

It is strictly recommended not to use two ED drugs at the same time to avoid unfortunate situations. In general, it is forbidden to take more than the prescribed dose of an ED drug in a period of less than 24 hours. That means that sometimes you have to wait a day or more for the next dose.

The reason for not using Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg with other drugs intended for ED is because it lowers blood pressure. One dose of medication does not lower blood pressure too much, so it does not improve the patient's health. However, two medications combined will cause severe hypotension which could also lead to the death of the patient. Common erectile dysfunction medications that should not be taken with Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg are:

• Sildenafil

• Spedra

• Tadalafil

Some uncommon medications to avoid with Vardenafil 20 mg are:

• Mirodena

• Udenafil

• Lodenafil

Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg works no differently than coated tablets. The active ingredient, Vardenafil 20 mg, is the same in both, which is a PDE-5 blocker.

The complete process of Vardenafil's mechanism of action is as follows: 

1. The corpus cavernosum has smooth muscles where NO (nitric oxide) is released during sexual stimulation.

2. The PDE-5 inhibitor inhibits the breakdown of cGMP, which helps to obtain and sustain an erection by relaxing the smooth muscles and enhancing blood flow to the penis.

3. When blood flow to the penis is kept constantly high, it remains erect for longer, which provides an erection-promoting effect.

 It should be noted that NO is only released during sexual stimulation. If no foreplay or sexual impulse occurs, NO is not produced. Therefore, Vardenafil will not be able to react to anything in this case,  and an erection will not occur.

Different foods and drinks affect the body differently – most do nothing, but some may be less helpful. Regarding Vardenafil 20 mg gel, let's take a look at its effect on fatty foods, alcohol, and grapefruit juice:

Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg with fatty foods

Valif oral jelly 20 mg stops working or becomes very slow because the Cmax is affected. Fatty foods lead to prolongation of the Cmax, which makes it difficult to absorb the drug along with other nutrients. The overall effect is shortened and the effectiveness of the drug is prolonged up to an hour.

Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg with alcohol

Alcohol is not considered good with any kind of medication, let alone Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg. The problem is that alcohol increases the common side effects of the drug. It also reduces its effectiveness, as alcohol is associated with the development of ED in the first place. The absorption of the drug is also reduced by alcohol consumption.

Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg with grapefruit juice

Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg contains Vardenafil, which is broken down by specific liver enzymes. Grapefruit juice blocks liver enzymes, preventing the breakdown of Vardenafil in the process. Therefore, grapefruit juice should be avoided with Vardenafil 20 mg.

As with other medicines, particularly oral gels, Valif Oral Jelly 20 mg should also be stored with care:

• Make sure you store it at a controlled temperature, ideally 20°C to 25°C.

• Oral jelly is like any other jelly. Therefore, it is essential to keep it away from children and pets.

• Store the medicine in a dry place, away from moisture.

• Do not store it in places such as the kitchen or bathroom.

• Keep oral jelly away from sunlight as it is more likely to spoil than tablets.

• Check the expiry date before use. Do not pour it down the drain; dispose of the medicine properly when it expires.
