Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and recreational substances. This is crucial for safe Levitra use.
Nitrates, found in medications for chest pain (angina), react dangerously with Levitra, potentially causing a significant drop in blood pressure. Avoid combining them.
Alpha-blockers, prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, can enhance Levitra’s blood pressure-lowering effects. Your doctor might adjust your dosage.
Certain antifungals, like ketoconazole and itraconazole, can increase Levitra’s levels in your blood, potentially leading to side effects. Your physician may need to adjust your Levitra dose.
Grapefruit juice inhibits enzymes that metabolize Levitra, resulting in higher blood levels. Avoid grapefruit juice while using Levitra.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Levitra’s side effects, such as dizziness and headache. Moderate alcohol intake is recommended, if any.
Medications affecting liver function might alter Levitra’s metabolism. Open communication with your doctor is vital in such cases.
