How does Levitra (Vardenafil) work?
Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the penis to relax, which effectively increases blood flow. Thus, allowing the penis to become and stay harder longer.
Levitra should never be taken by men who:
1. Take nitrate-containing drugs for heart conditions.
2. Take medicines called alpha blockers, such as Cardura, for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate.
3. Recent heart attack or stroke who have very low blood pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
4. Patients with a rare heart condition known as QT prolongation.
Does Levitra have any side effects?
As with most prescription medications, taking Levitra may produce side effects. The most commonly reported side effects of Levitra were headache, flushing, dyspepsia (indigestion), and nasal congestion.
