Levitra

Levitra (vardenafil) can be prescribed for patients diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, or male impotence. The effects of this medicine are based on blocking the activity if a particular enzyme in the body responsible for the outflow of the blood from the tissues of the penis. Your doctor may decide to start you on just 5 mg of the medicine if you are older than 65 or have some medical conditions that would otherwise interfere with the effects of Levitra. Side effects are generally mild and include fainting, lightheadedness, dizziness, stuffy or runny nose, heartburn, upset stomach and some others. In some rare cases more serious side effects are also possible The following ones are very important to mention to your doctor as soon as you develop them: erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, hives, sudden severe loss of vision, fainting, difficulty breathing or swallowing, dizziness, sudden decrease or loss of hearing, changes in color vision, hoarseness, blurred vision, rash, ringing in ears, and swelling of the face. Sudden loss of vision is sometimes associated with taking Levitra, although it is not completely clear whether this medicine is the cause of one of the risk factors. Sudden vision loss has been reported by patients who were older than 50, smoked and had certain other health problems – such as pre-existing eye conditions, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It’s therefore important to discuss with your health care provider all the aspects of your treatment. If during sexual activity you develop cardiac symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea or chest pain it’s recommended not to continue and report the symptoms to your health care provider. This medicine needs to be taken 60 minutes before having sex. Avoid taking more of this drug than recommended and make sure 24 hours pass between the two doses. Do not exceed your dosage of Levitra as it is based on your current health condition and is most beneficial for your case. In general, Levitra is safe and can be used by patients of any age. However, before you make up your mind about taking Levitra, you need to inform you doctor about any allergies to drugs you know of and any medical problems you have, such as history of a heart attack, angina, blood cell disorder, bleeding disorder, history of blood clots of stroke, liver disease, heart rhythm problems, stomach ulcer, physical deformity of the penis, or you have been informed you shouldn’t have sex because of health reasons. Levitra is FDA pregnancy category B, which means that although this drug is not intended for women its use is unlikely to cause any harm to the unborn baby. However, females taking Levitra should inform their doctor if they are pregnant or going to conceive as it’s not known exactly whether Levitra may harm a nursing baby. Sexual stimulation is still necessary when taking Levitra, as it is not likely to work if you simply take it. Tell your doctor about any problems you experience when using Levitra.
