What Is Levitra Professional 20 mg?

Levitra Professional 20mg contains Vardenafil and is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Significantly, it does not automatically induce an erection or increase libido. You still need sexual stimulation for the medicine to work.

The strongest standard tablet strength listed in the FDA prescribing information is 20mg. But your doctor might prescribe a lower strength depending on your age, health conditions, other medicines you are taking and how you respond.

What does Vardenafil do?

Vardenafil causes relaxation of certain blood vessels and increased blood flow to the penis when sexual stimulation occurs. Thus it is effective for helping men with erectile dysfunction to get an erection.

In most patients, the label instructions for vardenafil recommend that it be taken about 60 minutes before sexual activity. Do not take more than directed (see overdose warnings). Do not take more than 1 dose every 24 hours unless directed by a doctor.

Side Effects Common

Vardenafil can cause side effects like other medicines. Typical effects may include:

• Headache.
• Flushing, NY 11354
• Upset stomach/indigestion
• Blocked nose or runny nose
• Lightheadedness
• Backache

These effects are usually mild, but if you get any severe or persistent effects, tell a healthcare professional.

Important Safety Information

The top priority is safety. Vardenafil should not be used with nitrate medicines (e.g., nitroglycerin), as the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Do not take Vardenafil with riociguat.

People taking alpha-blockers, some blood-pressure medicines or some other medicines that influence liver enzymes, may also need a lower dose or medical supervision. Older patients and patients with certain liver problems may also need a dosage adjustment.

If you have an erection that lasts longer than four hours, get emergency medical help. Sudden loss of vision or hearing also requires urgent medical assessment.
