Why is Levitra prescribed?

Vardenafil (Levitra) is prescribed to patients with erectile dysfunction in men. Patients with erectile dysfunction often have difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection and sometimes even impotence.

What does it do?

Vardenafil is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that works by relaxing the walls of blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. However, Levitra does not increase libido, cure erectile dysfunction, prevent pregnancy, or protect you from HIV.

How should I use it?

Levitra comes in as 10mg or 20 mg tablets that must be taken whole (not crushed or chewed) by mouth with or without food.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

Taking the dose properly at the scheduled time is needed to attain the desired effect of the drug. If you forgot to take your medicine, immediately take the next dose to make up for the missed dose. However, if it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and catch the next dose at the regular time. Never take two doses just to make up for your missed dose. Levitra is taken on an as-needed basis. Do not take more than one dose unless told otherwise.

What are the special precautions before taking Levitra?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Levitra or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Inform your doctor if you had any form of surgery or if you are planning to get one.
