Levitra (vardenafil) is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor used for the treatment of male impotence. It is one of the three most popular ED medications that are efficient for most cases or erectile dysfunction in spite of the person’s age, health condition and reasons for the condition. Your dosage is prescribed based on your health condition, any other drugs you are taking and your age. Report to your doctor any particular health conditions that may potentially affect the efficiency of Levitra, including high cholesterol, stomach or intestine ulcer, chest pain, a bleeding disorder, liver or kidney disease, high or low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart disease, sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, diabetes, a stroke, heart attack or leukemia. You are not supposed to start taking any new medicines while on Levitra because dangerous drug interactions have been reported.

Do not combine this medicine with any of the following drugs before talking to your health care provider to make sure taking Levitra will be safe for you: nitrate drugs (for example, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate and nitroglycerin), other medicines for erectile dysfunction, alpha blockers, phenobarbital, antifungals, drugs for high blood pressure, drugs for irregular heartbeat, erythromycin or HIV protease inhibitors. Nitrate drugs can come in a variety of forms (patches, pastes, ointments, sprays and tablets) and are usually prescribed for the treatment of chest pain. Some of the side effects you may experience at the beginning of the treatment include flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, heartburn, flushing, headache, and stuffy or runny nose. These side effects are usually short-lived and tend to go away on their own without the need for special treatment.
