Product Overview

Levitra (vardenafil)

  • What is Levitra (vardenafil)?
    Levitra is a prescription medication used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It works by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the penis, making it easier to get and maintain an erection. This medication neither cures any underlying medical conditions causing erectile dysfunction nor increases sexual desire. It does not protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Levitra is not a contraceptive and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy. You must maintain regular safe sex and contraceptive practices to prevent the spread of STIs and unplanned pregnancies.

  • What are the common side effects of Levitra (vardenafil)?
    Levitra usage has been shown to cause some mild side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these do not go away within a few days. If you begin to experience more serious effects, seek medical attention immediately.

    Common side effects include headache, an upset stomach, and heartburn. This is not a complete list of all adverse reactions.

Frequently asked questions about Levitra

Levitra is a prescription medication used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It works by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the penis, making it easier to get and maintain an erection. This medication neither cures any underlying medical conditions causing erectile dysfunction nor increases sexual desire. It does not protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Levitra is not a contraceptive and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy. You must maintain regular safe sex and contraceptive practices to prevent the spread of STIs and unplanned pregnancies.

Levitra is prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition in which a man cannot achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. In some cases, men who experience ED are unable to get an erection at all, while others are unable to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sex. Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction, affecting nearly 30 million men worldwide.

You should contact a health care professional if you experience frequent episodes of erectile dysfunction. Experiencing difficulty achieving an erection is common, but regular occurrences may require medical treatment. ED may also indicate an underlying health problem or a risk factor for heart disease.

Aside from age, common causes of ED include:

  • Poor vascular health (heart disease, high blood pressure, lack of blood flow)
  • Substance abuse
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Psychological problems (such as depression or anxiety)
  • Peyronie's disease (scar tissue inside the penis)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Medication usage

It is important to note that Levitra does not increase sexual drive, nor is it a cure for the underlying causes of ED. It is important to note that stimulation is required for Levitra to work. An erection cannot be attained, even after Levitra use, if the penis is not stimulated. Simply put, Levitra cannot cause an erection on its own.

Levitra will not protect against sexually transmitted diseases or prevent pregnancy. Safe sex practices (like condom use) should be maintained while using Levitra.

Levitra belongs to a classification of medications known as phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These medications prevent the breakdown of a naturally occurring substance in the body known as cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Increased levels of cGMP improve the relaxation of blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, Levitra encourages blood flow more readily to the penis during sexual stimulation. This effect can help men achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity.

Even though Levitra increases blood flow to the penis, it cannot cause an erection by itself. Stimulation is required for the effects of Levitra to work.

Levitra usage has been shown to cause some mild side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these do not go away within a few days. If you begin to experience more serious effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Common side effects reported from Levitra use include:

  • Headache
  • Upset stomach
  • Heartburn
  • Runny nose

More serious side effects include:

  • An erection that lasts more than 4 hours
  • Loss of vision
  • Blurred vision
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of hearing
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Fainting
  • Swelling

If you experience any of these side effects, seek medical attention immediately. These are symptoms of a serious adverse reaction to this medication and immediately require treatment.

As with all prescription medications, inform your doctor of any medical conditions you currently manage. Tell them about any and all medications, prescription drugs, and supplements you are taking before starting treatment with Levitra. Levitra can interact with bodily substances, causing potentially serious adverse reactions.

Do not take Levitra if you take nitrate medications such as isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and nitroglycerin. It’s important to inform your doctor if you are taking any form of high blood pressure medication, alpha-blocker medication, prescription antifungals (like fluconazole), or other medications for erectile dysfunction. You should include information about herbal products, especially St. John’s wort.

Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking Levitra.

Talk to your health care provider about safe drinking practices during treatment with Levitra. Levitra can interact with alcohol and cause potentially serious adverse reactions like those above.

Levitra is commonly supplied as an orally disintegrating tablet. Make sure your hands are dry before handling the medication. Levitra usually begins to work within 60 minutes after taking the dose. You should engage in sexual activity to stimulate the penis within this timeframe.

Do not crush or chew Levitra. Allow the medication to dissolve on your tongue without additional liquid.

Take this medication exactly as your doctor has advised. Keep all medication bottles out of reach of small children and at room temperature. Avoid exposing the medication to excess heat or moisture. Seek medical attention right away if you begin to notice any of the adverse reactions listed above.

Do not exceed the dosage prescribed or discontinue using Levitra without consulting your health care provider first.
