Levitra (vardenafil) is intended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, also known as male impotence. This medicine works on the physical level by preventing the blood from the corpora cavernosa (the spongy tissue in your penis) to escape back into the body. It’s important that you see your health care provider before you start taking this medicine. There are a number of medical conditions that you may have that can possibly interact with the efficiency of your treatment. These include bleeding disorders, kidney disease, sickle-cell anemia, retinal disorders, bone marrow cancer, leukemia, coronary artery disease, abnormal penis, chest pain, lipids in the blood, hypotension, heart blood flow problems, heart attack, hypertension, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, stomach ulcers, stroke, liver disease, liver disease, heart disease, diabetes and some other health conditions that cause concern. Unless your health care provider recommended otherwise you are supposed to take Levitra about 60 minutes before you are planning to have sex. The medicine will then remain efficient for 5 hours, although the period of efficiency may be different for different people. Some of the side effects you might experience while your body is adjusting to the medicine include flushing, stuffy nose, upset stomach, headache, runny nose, flu-like symptoms and heartburn. These side effects in most cases go away on their own as your body adjusts to the dosage of Levitra prescribed.
