Levitra is prescribed to treat male sexual impotence also known as ED (erectile dysfunction). Levitra works by controlling the enzyme phosphodiesterase TYPE 5(PDE5), which in turn causes higher level of Nitric oxide that dilates blood vessels in the male organ by allowing the influx of blood needed to sustain an erection. Levitra is effective only during sexual arousal. Levitra does not work in the absence of libido. Levitra begins working approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. Levitra is effective in about 70% of men, though it is effective only when poor blood circulation is the cause of the ED.

LEVITRA OVERDOSE

Levitra overdose may cause neck pain, muscular pain and vision problems. In case of a Levitra overdose, seek medical attention right away.

LEVITRA WARNING

People with pre-existing heart related problems such as severe high or low blood pressure, heart failure, or unstable angina or those taking medications called nitrates should avoid using Levitra.
If you take Levitra and experience cardiac symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, or chest pain during sexual activity, stop immediately. Alert your physician as soon as possible.
If you have a condition that might result in long-lasting erections, such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, Peyronie's disease or leukemia, use Levitra with caution. If an erection lasts more than 4 hours, seek medical help immediately.

Use caution if you have a bleeding disorder, a stomach ulcer, or the inherited eye condition known as retinitis pigmentosa.


People with kidney or liver problem should begin with lower doses.
