After modest declines early in the third quarter, Levitra prices at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart held steady for the next four months. More volatile were prices for vardenafil at America\u2019s top three prescription drug retailers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Prices for Levitra at the nation\u2019s three biggest prescription drug retailers have been relatively stable for most of the third and fourth quarters with the exception of a moderate price drop between the months of July and August.<\/p>\n

By contrast, prices for vardenafil, Levitra\u2019s generic equivalent, at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart have been somewhat more volatile across the five-month period from July through November.<\/p>\n

Prices for 20mg Pills Quoted<\/h3>\n

The prices quoted for both Levitra and vardenafil in this blog post are for 20-milligram tablets of each drug. Because the recommended starting dose for both Levitra and vardenafil is 10 milligrams, a 20-milligram tablet can safely be split in half to yield two 10-milligram doses. While a 10-milligram dose will produce the desired results for most men, some might have to increase their dose to 20 milligrams.<\/p>\n
