Original Levitra 20mg

Medically reviewed by Dr. Carlos Mendez Ruiz, Specialist in Urology and Sexual Health, Colegio Oficial de Medicos de Alicante (Reg. No.: 03-45678) — Updated January 2026

Original Levitra is Bayer's branded medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, approved by the FDA on 19 August 2003 and by the EMA that same year. It contains vardenafil 20mg — the reference molecule jointly developed by Bayer AG and GlaxoSmithKline. Since the vardenafil patent expired in Spain in 2018, it coexists with bioequivalent generics at significantly lower prices. Available in round orange 20mg tablets. Discreet delivery across Spain in 4–7 days.

The History of Levitra — From Joint Research to Reference Drug

Bayer Timeline — Vardenafil 1998–2018

1998

Joint research Bayer + GlaxoSmithKline

Bayer AG and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) begin joint research on vardenafil as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. The goal: develop a PDE5 inhibitor with greater selectivity and fewer side effects than sildenafil.

2003

Dual approval — FDA and EMA

19 August 2003 — FDA approves Levitra (vardenafil). The EMA approves it that same year for Europe. It becomes the second PDE5 inhibitor approved for erectile dysfunction, after sildenafil (1998) and before tadalafil (November 2003). Clinical trials show 72% efficacy in diabetic patients — the defining differential.

2006

Bayer acquires GSK's share — sole owner

Bayer AG buys GlaxoSmithKline's stake in the vardenafil co-marketing agreement. From 2006, Bayer is the sole owner and marketer of Levitra in all global markets.

2012

Staxyn — the orodispersible form

Bayer launches Staxyn (brand name for vardenafil ODT — orodispersible) in the USA. The form dissolves under the tongue, with potentially faster onset and absorption independent of fatty meals.

2018

Patent expiry in Spain — generics enter market

The vardenafil patent expires in Spain in 2018. Generics enter the market at up to 80% lower prices. Original Levitra Bayer remains available as the reference drug with all brand authenticity guarantees.

How to Recognise an Authentic Bayer Levitra Original

5 Authenticity Elements of Bayer Levitra
1
Round orange tablet — the Levitra Original tablet is orange (or pale salmon) and perfectly round in shape. Diameter is approximately 10mm. No other shape or colour corresponds to the standard Bayer product in 10mg or 20mg
2
«BAYER» embossed on one face and dose on the other — the tablet has «BAYER» embossed in relief on one face and the dose number («10» or «20») on the opposite face. Embossing must be sharp, deep and uniform. Blurred or different-font embossing is a warning sign
3
Orange box with Bayer Greek cross logo — the packaging uses Bayer's corporate orange with the characteristic Greek cross logo. Print quality is high resolution. A box with faded colours, pixelated logo or different typography indicates counterfeiting
4
Batch number and expiry date in relief — both on the outer box and on the individual blister for each tablet, batch number and expiry date must appear in embossed relief. A batch number that is absent or printed only in ink (without relief) is a warning sign
5
Spanish-language leaflet with AEMPS authorisation number — Levitra authorised for Spain includes a complete leaflet in Castilian Spanish with the AEMPS marketing authorisation number. A leaflet in another language, photocopied, or without an authorisation number is an unambiguous sign of an unauthorised product

What is levitra original

Original Levitra vs Generic Levitra — Honest Real Differences

Parameter Original Levitra (Bayer) Generic Levitra (Vardenafil)
Active ingredient Vardenafil 20mg (or 10mg, 5mg) Vardenafil 20mg (or 10mg, 5mg)
Clinical efficacy Reference — 2003 trial data Bioequivalent — same efficacy
Manufacturer Bayer AG (Germany) Certified laboratories (India, EU)
Tablet shape Round orange, «BAYER» + dose embossed Varies by manufacturing laboratory
Price per tablet 5–12 euros 1–3 euros (up to 80% less)
Orodispersible form Yes — Staxyn ODT (Bayer) Yes — in generic ODT versions
Authenticity guarantee Maximum — verifiable Bayer packaging Depends on supplier and certification

Honest pharmacological conclusion: Original Levitra and the generic are therapeutically equivalent. The price difference reflects solely Bayer's R&D and approval costs. Those who choose the original do so primarily for certainty of authenticity and trust in the Bayer brand — a valid reason in an online market with documented counterfeits.

Original Levitra (Bayer)

Dosage and How to Take

  • Standard dose: 10mg, taken 25–60 minutes before sexual activity
  • Adjustment: If insufficient response without side effects → 20mg. If bothersome side effects → 5mg
  • Maximum dose: 20mg in 24 hours — never exceed
  • With meals: Avoid very fatty meals that delay absorption. Empty stomach or light meal gives faster onset
  • ODT (orodispersible) form: Place under the tongue and wait for it to dissolve — do not chew or swallow with water
  • Over 65 years: Start with 5mg — greater sensitivity to vardenafil
  • Alcohol: Maximum 1–2 drinks — both are vasodilators

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Levitra Original last 36 hours like Cialis? No — this is a very common online confusion. Vardenafil (Levitra) has a duration of 4–6 hours, similar to sildenafil (Viagra). The only PDE5 with duration up to 36 hours is tadalafil (Cialis). If you need prolonged duration, Generic Cialis is the right option.

Is Original Levitra Bayer more effective than the generic? No, in pharmacological terms — active ingredient, dose and bioavailability are identical. The difference is the authenticity guarantee of the Bayer packaging and confidence in the original laboratory's manufacturing chain.

Does the ODT (orodispersible) form of Levitra act faster? Generally yes. By being absorbed through the oral mucosa rather than the gastrointestinal tract, onset can be 10–15 minutes rather than 25–60 minutes. Furthermore, absorption is not affected by fatty meals.

Can I take Original Levitra with antihypertensives? It depends on the specific medication. With alpha-blockers (doxazosin, tamsulosin) there is a hypotension risk — separate by at least 6 hours or use minimum dose (5mg). With calcium channel blockers or other antihypertensives the risk is lower. Always consult your doctor.
