What is Staxyn?
Staxyn is a melt tablet for ED. It helps men get longer lasting and firmer erections.
It’s technically the same drug as Levitra. Only Levitra is a hard tablet and needs to be swallowed with water.
Staxyn is different. You hold it on the tongue, wait for it to disintegrate and swallow it without water. This can be better for men who don’t like swallowing capsules whole, or who feel like taking a tablet with water during sex is a little too obvious.
How does Staxyn work?
The short answer is that Staxyn improves the circulation of blood to the penis. This helps the man who has taken it get and stay erect.
ED happens when there’s insufficient blood supply to the penis, caused by contracted arteries at the entry. An enzyme in the body called PDE5 manages blood flow and tells these arteries to become narrow. Staxyn contains the active ingredient vardenafil, which is a PDE5 inhibitor. That means it blocks the action of the enzyme in the body, so arteries dilate and blood can move around more freely. This helps more blood rush to the penis during moments of arousal, meaning harder and better erections.
Staxyn or Vardenafil?
It comes down to name brand or generic. You can also get Vardenafil as a melting tablet — it’s called Vardenafil ODT.
Clinically, they’re the same drug. The brand names Staxyn and Levitra are owned by Bayer, but Vardenafil is a generic medicine, so can be made by other laboratories. Generic medicines are usually cheaper.
