Levitra (vardenafil) is used to treat the inability of males to get and maintain an erection for a period of time long enough to have sex. It works by stimulating the blood inflow into the tissues of the penis. Some health conditions that you have or that run in your family may be contraindications for taking Levitra as they can interfere with its efficiency. The following health conditions should be mentioned: high blood pressure, low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, diabetes, chest pain, heart disease, a history of a heart attack or a stroke and a number of other diseases. You also need to tell your health care provider if you have any allergies, especially an allergy to vardenafil.
If you are taking herbal products, such as St. John’s wort your doctor needs to know about it, as combining this supplement with Levitra can lead to breakthrough bleeding. If you get such minor symptoms as headache, runny or stuffy nose, flushing, upset stomach and heartburn you do not need to worry. If these symptoms change in intensity or get worse call your health care provider as a lower dosage of this medicine may be sufficient for you to treat erectile dysfunction. Do not allow children or people with symptoms similar to yours to use your medicine.
Generic names: Vardenafil, Vardenafil HCl
