When should I take Levitra for best results?



Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. The recommended dose is 10 mg. Take a Levitra tablet about 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. With sexual stimulation you may achieve an erection anywhere from 25 minutes up to four to five hours after taking Levitra.

Studies have shown that there are no significant health effects when using the two together. In addition to LevitraViagra and Edex are also safe to take if you drink. However, other ED drugs can still cause issues.
1. What Levitra is and what it is used for
Levitra contains vardenafil, a member of a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. They are used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men, a condition which implies difficulties in getting or keeping an erection.
At least one in ten men has trouble getting or keeping an erection at some time. There may be physical or psychological causes, or a mixture of both. Whatever the cause is, due to muscle and blood vessel changes not enough blood stays in the penis to make it hard and keep it hard.
Levitra will only work when you are sexually stimulated. It reduces the action of the natural chemical in your body which makes erections go away. Levitra allows an erection to last long enough for you to satisfactorily complete sexual activity.
2. What you need to know before you take Levitra
Do not take Levitra
  • If you are allergic to vardenafil or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). Signs of an allergic reaction include a rash, itching, swollen face or lips and shortness of breath.
  • If you are taking medicines containing nitrates, such as glycerol trinitrate for angina, or nitric oxide donors, such as amyl nitrite. Taking these medicines with Levitra could seriously affect your blood pressure.
  • If you are taking ritonavir or indinavir, medicines used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections.
  • If you are over 75 years of age and are taking ketoconazole or itraconazole, anti-fungal medicines.
  • If you have a severe heart or liver problem.
  • If you are having kidney dialysis.
  • If you have recently had a stroke or heart attack.
  • If you have or have had low blood pressure.
  • If your family has a history of degenerative eye diseases (such as retinitis pigmentosa).
  • If you have ever had a condition involving loss of vision due to damage to the optic nerve from insufficient blood supply known as non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
  • If you are taking riociguat. This drug is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure in the lungs) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure in the lungs secondary to blood clots). PDE5 inhibitors, such as Levitra have been shown to increase the hypotensive effects of this medicine. If you are taking riociguat or are unsure tell your doctor.
