Levitra Pills

The dose of Levitra ® ( vardenafil HCL) your healthcare provider recommends will depend on a number of factors, including:

• Your age
• Other medical conditions you may have
• Other medications you may be currently taking.

As always, do not adjust your dosage unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

The recommended starting dosage for treating erectile dysfunction is Levitra 10 mg one hour prior to sexual activity. Depending on how well it works and whether you experience any side effects, your healthcare provider may increase or decrease your Levitra dosage. The starting dosage may be as low as 2.5 mg in people who:

• Are over the age of 65
• Have moderate to severe liver disease
• Are taking certain medications

It is important that the doctor knows your complete medical history. Before taking Levitra, tell your doctor about all your medical problems, including heart problems such as angina, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, or heart attack; low blood pressure or high blood pressure that is not controlled; if you’ve had a stroke or any family members have a rare heart condition known as prolongation of the QT interval (long QT syndrome); liver problems; kidney problems that require dialysis; retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic eye disease; stomach ulcers; a bleeding problem; a deformed penis shape or Peyronie’s disease; you’ve had an erection that lasted more than 4 hours; blood cell problems such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma or leukemia.

Men of all ages who have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection for a variety of reasons have benefited from Levitra. The drug works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which has enabled many men to have longer and harder erections, thereby enhancing their sexual performance and satisfaction.
