What to know before you take levitra
As with any prescription medication, you should follow the dosage instructions given by the pharmacist. In particular, do not take levitra if you have had a stroke or heart attack, or have any cardiovascular problems. Both the conditions themselves and the medications you may be taking to treat them can make it unwise to use levitra. This applies particularly to any medication that contains a nitrate.
Take the dose recommended by the pharmacist for a person of your age and medical history. Do not take levitra or one of the other medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction more than once a day. This can seriously affect your blood pressure. There are no particular rules about whether to take levitra with or without food. Simply plan ahead, taking the tablet about an hour before you expect sexual activity.
For most men who use levitra there are few side effects to worry about. But if you experience any sudden changes in your vision or hearing, have symptoms of an allergic reaction or chest pain with numbness spreading to your shoulder and arm, seek urgent medical help. Similarly, you should go to a hospital if your erection is painful and lasts for more than four hours.
