About the Brand

Zhewitra 20 mg is a generic alternative to the patented drug Levitra, formulated with Vardenafil. It is produced by Sunrise Remedies and is used to manage erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.

What is Zhewitra 20 mg Used For?

Zhewitra is primarily prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction, a condition in which men face difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection during sexual activity. Vardenafil helps improve blood flow to the penis when sexual stimulation occurs.

How It Works

Zhewitra contains Vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor that boosts levels of cGMP in the body. This results in smooth muscle relaxation and improved blood flow to the penis, aiding in stronger and longer-lasting erections during sexual arousal.
