LEVITRA DRUG INFO

and 30 minutes before sexual activity. Take Levitra only as directed,
usually once daily as needed. Levitra works along with sexual stimulation
to help achieve an erection.

flushing , upset stomach, stuffy nose, urinary tract infection, visual
changes such as mild and temporary changes in blue/green colors or
increased sensitivity to light, and diarrhea.
PRECAUTIONS :
One should have a complete medical history and exam to determine the cause
of his impotence before taking Levitra. Men who have medical conditions
that may cause a sustained erection such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia
or multiple myeloma or who have an abnormally shaped penis may not be able
to take Levitra. There are several medications that are known to interact
with Levitra, so be sure to tell your doctor about all medications you are
taking including those you can get without a prescription. Levitra has not
been studied with other treatments for impotence, so use in combination
with other treatments is not recommended. Limit alcohol intake, as it may
aggravate SIDE EFFECTS of Levitra. To avoid dizziness and lightheadedness
when rising from a seated or lying position, get up slowly. The elderly
may be more sensitive to the SIDE EFFECTS of Levitra; therefore, caution
is advised in this group.
