Levitra Professional, like other PDE5 inhibitors, can cause side effects. The most common include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less frequent side effects include back pain, muscle aches, dizziness, and vision changes (blurred vision, sensitivity to light).
If you experience prolonged or painful erection (priapism), seek immediate medical attention. This is a serious side effect requiring prompt treatment.
Levitra Professional interacts with several medications. Nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, are strictly contraindicated. Combining them can lead to dangerously low blood pressure. Also, avoid concurrent use with alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate problems), as this combination may significantly lower blood pressure.
Grapefruit juice inhibits the metabolism of Levitra Professional, increasing its concentration in the blood and potentially enhancing side effects. Avoid grapefruit juice during treatment.
Always inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, you are taking before starting Levitra Professional. This allows for proper assessment of potential interactions and ensures your safety.
