Levitra
LEVITRA (vardenafil HCl), an oral therapy for erectile dysfunction.
Manufactured by Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline
LEVITRA is a medicine that may be used up to once a day to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
LEVITRA is for use by prescription only. Men taking nitrate drugs, often used to control chest pain (also known as angina), should not take LEVITRA.
Men who use alpha-blockers, sometimes prescribed for high blood pressure or prostate problems, also should not take LEVITRA.
Such combinations could cause blood pressure to drop to an unsafe level.
The most commonly reported side effects are headache, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose.
Men who experience an erection for more than four hours should seek immediate medical attention.
You should not take LEVITRA if your doctor determines that sexual activity poses a health risk for you.
LEVITRA does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
LEVITRA is available in 5, 10 or 20mg film-coated tablets. Please click here for the manufacturers product information leaflets.
Dosage
The recommended dose is 10 mg taken as needed approximately 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.
Based on efficacy and tolerability the dose may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg.
The maximum recommended dose is 20 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day.
LEVITRA can be taken with or without food. The onset of activity may be delayed if taken with a high fat meal
Elderly men

Children and adolescents
LEVITRA is not indicated for individuals below 18 years of age.
Use in patients with impaired hepatic function A starting dose of 5 mg should be considered in patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A-B).
Based on tolerability and efficacy, the dose may be increased to 10 mg and then 20 mg (see section 5.2).
The coadministration of vardenafil with nitrates or nitric oxide donors (such as amyl nitrite) in any form is contraindicated.
