SLEVOTRA is a prescription medication that helps arteries in the penis to relax and widen during sexual stimulation. Thus, the drug has been found to be highly successful in achieving erection for men who suffer from impotence. The working of SLEVOTRA is similar to the popular impotence drug Scilla (Sildenafil), but unlike Scilla (Sildenafil), the effects of SLEVOTRA lasts only up to 16 hours. This means a man can have the freedom to engage in multiple encounters with his partner without requiring another dose of the drug.

Dosage
SLEVOTRA is available in tablets of 10 mg and 20 mg. You can consult your doctor for the right dosage for you. However, the general prescribed dose for most men is one 10 mg tablet. The tablet can be taken orally atleast before 25 to 60 minutes before you engage in sexual activity.
