LEVITRA DRUG INFO

HOW TO USE: Levitra is taken orally when needed between 4.30 hrs and 30 minutes before sexual activity. Take Levitra only as directed, usually once daily as needed. Levitra works along with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection.

SIDE EFFECTS: Headache, flushing , upset stomach, stuffy nose, urinary tract infection, visual changes such as mild and temporary changes in blue/green colors or increased sensitivity to light, and diarrhea.

PRECAUTIONS : One should have a complete medical history and exam to determine the cause of his impotence before taking Levitra. Men who have medical conditions that may cause a sustained erection such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia or multiple myeloma or who have an abnormally shaped penis may not be able to take Levitra. There are several medications that are known to interact with Levitra, so be sure to tell your doctor about all medications you are taking including those you can get without a prescription. Levitra has not been studied with other treatments for impotence, so use in combination with other treatments is not recommended. Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate SIDE EFFECTS of Levitra. To avoid dizziness and lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying position, get up slowly. The elderly may be more sensitive to the SIDE EFFECTS of Levitra; therefore, caution is advised in this group.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Before taking Levitra consult your doctor about all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially any nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate), nitroprusside (any "nitric oxide donor" medicines), cimetidine, erythromycin, azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole), mibefradil, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin) or high blood pressure medicines.
