Always consult your doctor before starting Levitra. They can assess your health and determine if it’s safe for you. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. These are usually mild and temporary.
More serious, though rare, side effects include vision changes (blurred vision, sudden vision loss), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these.
Levitra can interact with other medications, particularly nitrates. Combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Heart problems can increase the risk of side effects. Individuals with heart conditions should discuss Levitra use with their cardiologist before taking it. Similarly, pre-existing conditions like low blood pressure or liver/kidney problems require careful consideration.
Alcohol consumption can enhance side effects. Moderate alcohol intake is advised. Avoid excessive alcohol use while taking Levitra.
