Product Name: Levitra
Drug Name: Vardenafil
Packaging Type: Packets of 4 x 20 mg Tablets
Manufacturer: GlaxoSmithKline/Bayer Pharmaceuticals
Use: Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the penis to relax, which effectively increases blood flow. Levitra will not give a man an erection spontaneously, it will only help a man to get an erection if he is sexually stimulated.
How to take it: Take as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will prescribe the right dosage for you. Levitra usually works within 25-60 minutes, although some men will achieve an erection within 15 minutes. Within a 5 hour period after taking the tablet an erection should occur in response to sexual stimulation.
Side effects: The most commonly reported side effects were headache, flushing, dyspepsia (indigestion), and nasal congestion.
Precautions: Patients who are currently taking medicines containing nitrates should not take Levitra. As with patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the drug, men with cardiac disease of a severity where sex is inadvisable, recent stroke, heart attack or low blood pressure, unstable angina or angina occurring during sexual intercourse, aged over 75 years and taking ritonavir, indanvir, ketoconazole or itraconazole (oral form). Levitra should not be taken with other erectile dysfunction treatments. Levitra should be used with caution in patients with an abnormally formed penis, diseases that might result in prolonged erections such as sickle cell anaemia, multiple myeloma, or leukaemia. Use with caution if you have a history or postural hypotension, or severe kidney or liver disease. Be aware of how this drug affects you before operating machinery or driving a vehicle.
