Valif 20 mg – Comprehensive Product Overview
Valif 20 mg is a prescription medication used primarily to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains Vardenafil, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis, helping achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.
