Consult your doctor before using Levitra, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or a history of stroke. Levitra can lower blood pressure, potentially causing dizziness or fainting. This effect is amplified when combined with alcohol or certain medications.
Common Side Effects
Headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion are common. These usually are mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue-tinged vision), hearing loss, prolonged erection (priapism), and allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious side effects.
Less Common, But Serious Risks
Levitra may increase the risk of sudden cardiac events in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions. This risk is higher with concurrent use of nitrates. Always inform your doctor of all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. The interaction between Levitra and other medications can lead to unforeseen consequences. Do not take a higher dose than prescribed; doing so doesn’t improve effectiveness but increases risk of side effects.
