Vardenafil, like other phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, blue tint to vision), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Vardenafil is contraindicated for individuals with certain heart conditions, including unstable angina and those who have recently experienced a heart attack or stroke. It’s also not suitable for people with low blood pressure, severe liver or kidney problems, or those taking nitrates (used to treat angina).
Patients with retinitis pigmentosa should also avoid Vardenafil due to a potential increased risk of vision problems. Interaction with other medications is possible, so always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
Before starting Vardenafil, discuss your medical history with your physician to assess potential risks and benefits. They can determine if Vardenafil is the right treatment option for you and advise on proper usage and potential side effects specific to your health profile.
