Levitra, or vardenafil, treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. This allows for firmer, easier erections suitable for sexual activity. It works best when combined with sexual stimulation.
Dosage and Administration
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose, typically starting with 10 mg. Dosage adjustments depend on individual response and potential side effects. Take Levitra about 60 minutes before sexual activity. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as it can interfere with Levitra’s effectiveness.
Common Uses and Considerations
Levitra primarily addresses ED. Men with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or other health issues should discuss Levitra use with their physicians before taking it. Possible side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Consult your doctor if you experience any concerning symptoms. Remember, Levitra is a prescription medication, and self-medicating can be dangerous.
Alternative Treatments
Other ED treatments exist, including oral medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis), as well as injections and vacuum devices. Your doctor can help determine which treatment option best suits your needs and health status. Discuss all your health concerns openly to ensure safe and effective treatment.
