Levitra (generic name Vardenafil) is a drug that helps you with the problem of erectile dysfunction (ED) by allowing the flow of blood to continue to the penis where it normally would be slowed by the production of phosphodiesterase type 5. In clinical studies done with men who had ED, Levitra was able to improve the quality of the erection, satisfaction with the hardness of the erection, confidence, the amount of time an erection could be maintained, as well as improved sexual intercourse. The effects could last up to six hours, which is why it is becoming more popular with doctors who prescribe erectile dysfunction pills.
Before using Levitra, you should discuss it with your doctor in order to know if it is right for you. If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, including high or low blood pressure, angina, or are at risk of a heart attack, your doctor will only know if Levitra is right for you. Other at-risk situations include blood cell disorders like leukemia and anemia, or stomach ulcers and hemophilia, as well as liver or kidney disease, or genetic sight disorders.
Levitra should not be taken if you have pre-existing hypertension or cardiovascular conditions, or if you have high cholesterol or suffer from diabetes, as sudden loss of vision has been tied to people with these conditions who take Levitra. Also, if you take a drug with nitrates, it is advised to not take Levitra. This is why it is important that you consult with a doctor before taking Levitra.
