Levitra has been found to improve erectile function, the effectiveness of penetration and the number of successful sexual intercourse episodes in men suffering from impotence as a side effect of diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and dyslipidaemia according to research announced at the 24th Annual European Association of Urology Congress.

According to the lead researcher, Professor Ian Eardley from the Department of Urology at St. James's University Hospital in Leeds explained that the research was based on patient information from thirteen different placebo controlled, double blind, randomised and flexible dose clinical trials done over the last few years.

The researchers which was originally carried out to see whether using medications for cardiovascular problems along with the Levitra drug had any impact on whether the Levitra worked as well and were happy to report that they not lessen the effectiveness or the safety of the Levitra drug.

The clinical trials were done using different doses of Levitra from 5mg to 20mg and all of them were well tolerated irrespective of whether the men were suffering from any underlying medical conditions or using any other medications. The evaluation of the extent of erectile function was done using the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaires.
