About Snovitra 20 Mg (Vardenafil)

Medical Uses of Snovitra 20 Mg

Snovitra 20 Mg is primarily prescribed to treat:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)  the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

How Does Snovitra 20 Mg Work?

The active ingredient Vardenafil works by inhibiting the PDE-5 enzyme, responsible for restricting blood flow in the penis.
By blocking this enzyme, the medication increases cGMP levels, relaxes smooth penile muscles, and widens blood vessels — allowing more blood to enter the penis during sexual arousal.

The result is a natural and firm erection that helps men perform confidently and enjoy a healthy sex life.
