The effect of vardenafil on penile erection after oral administration was clearly demonstrated in the conscious rabbit model. The time course and early onset of activity indicate that it may be useful for treating erectile dysfunction. Potentiation of the effect by the nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside implies that it would have enhanced activity during sexual arousal, when nitric oxide is produced endogenously. The clinical development of this product for erectile dysfunction is proceeding.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
