Is there a generic across the Levitra 2.5-20 mg ladder?

Last reviewed · 3 min read · Updated

Bone review card, cobalt edge, lime chip: four amber strengths in a row

Yes. Film-coated generic vardenafil hydrochloride is sold on the same 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg rungs that brand Levitra used. Initial U.S. approval for the molecule was 2003. Bioequivalent generics follow the same once-daily as-needed rules, the same 10 mg usual start, and the same QT and CYP3A4 caps, including the 2.5 mg ritonavir floor. Read the panel for the molecule, not the ink.

Same swallow rules as brand?

About 60 minutes before sex, once per day, with or without food, stimulation required. Those sentences travel with the INN.

Men who 'rate' brand faster after a swap usually changed dinner or anxiety the same week. Felt onset is not an assay.

Where to read the QT tag

Generic ink does not shorten the Class IA and III avoid. Scan quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone, and sotalol the same way.

Millisecond study detail sits on the signal, not here. The panel is vardenafil in review.

ODT 10 is another carton

Orally disintegrating 10 mg vardenafil has its own leaflet. This scan stays on swallow tablets across 2.5-20 mg.

Do not chew an ODT to outrun an amiodarone flag. The QT avoid is a vardenafil-class problem. Tag it on the QT signal.

What if the bottle says vardenafil HCl?

That is the salt on U.S. film-coated tablets. The labelled dose is still vardenafil milligrams. Do not add a second INN from another PDE5 bottle the same day.

Keep both packs if a DIN or NDC change feels different after two matched fasted evenings. Show them to the pharmacist.

Does a generic cover 2.5 through 20?

Approved U.S. film-coated generics list those four strengths. A window that only stocks 20 mg cannot invent a 2.5 mg split from that tablet.

If the script says 2.5 mg because of ritonavir, the fill has to be a 2.5 mg tablet. See the CYP scan.

Color change is not a new molecule

Generics may drop a cross and change the shade. Exposure, half-life, and the inhibitor caps do not follow the dye.

A cosmetic dye reaction is a reason to swap makers. It is not a reason to skip the antiarrhythmic list.

Board thread

Answers follow the U.S. Levitra label.

Carla V., Riverdale What does generic 20 mg cost on this board?

Board reply

Price the fill at the pharmacy that has your script.

Mei T., Willowdale The new generic looked paler. Fake?

Board reply

Shade is not a potency assay. Match the milligram on the label to the script. If two clean fasted evenings diverge after the swap, bring both bottles to the pharmacist. Do not add a second 10 mg at 90 minutes.

Ruben D., Parkdale Is Staxyn the generic for Levitra 10?

Board reply

Staxyn is an orally disintegrating 10 mg vardenafil product with its own directions. It is not a film-coated 10 mg tablet. Read that leaflet if that is the script. This scan stays on swallow tablets.
