Levitra

Levitra tablets are used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men which is a major sexual disorder in elderly men. The Levitra pills are similar to the Viagra, another PDE5 inhibitor. But the drug action starts within 16 minutes of intake of the drug. The action of the drug also stays for a long time nearly 6 hours.

The clinical use of Levitra is to treat erectile dysfunction. It is prescribed as a once daily dose tablet.

The adverse drug reactions are nausea as for any drug. The other serious and less frequent adverse drug reactions are abdominal pain, back pain, photosensitivity, abnormal vision, puffiness or edema of the face, hypotension, palpitation, tachycardia, arthralgia, myalgia, priapism and rashes.

It also has drug interactions with ritonavir, indinavir, sequinavir, ketaconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin and azithromycin. Hence it should be used in low doses when used along with these drugs.

Levitra is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, and in persons who suffer from coronary artery disease. The CAD patients take nitrates which are commonly given to all these patients to reduce the angina pain. Nitrates are vasodilators and so when Levitra is used along with this it further causes vasodilatation and reduces the blood pressure to such low levels that it risks the life of the patient.

The brand Levitra is available in low prices both online and over the counter. The drug is also available with discounts and offers and Levitra prices may differ. Once bought it should be stored in cool and dry places. It should be kept out of reach of children.
