Levitra, like all medications, can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less common, but still possible, are back pain, muscle aches, and vision changes (such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light).
Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include prolonged erection (priapism), sudden vision loss, or hearing loss. If you experience any of these, stop taking Levitra and seek medical help immediately.
Levitra interacts with certain medications. Specifically, combining Levitra with nitrates (used to treat angina) is dangerous and can cause a significant drop in blood pressure. Also, avoid combining Levitra with alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure or enlarged prostate), as this combination can also lead to dangerously low blood pressure. Consult your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before starting Levitra.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Proper medical guidance ensures safe and effective use.
