Levitra

Levitra is a prescription-only medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. This medicine helps males achieve and maintain an erection when taken 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. Targeting the penis, Levitra tablets dilate the blood vessels, allowing men to achieve an erection more easily. Levitra only works if you are sexually aroused. It's suitable for males experiencing erectile dysfunction and contains the active ingredient vardenafil.

  • Erectile dysfunction medication
  • Branded version of Vardenafil

Buy Levitra Online

Levitra is an erectile dysfunction medication used to help achieve an erection. The drug works by allowing increased blood flow to the penis, making it much easier to gain and maintain an erection.

The effects of the Levitra tablet, therefore, require sexual arousal in order to work, as it simply allows for better blood flow to the penis. You can buy Levitra online here at Pharmacy Online in strengths of 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. Start a consultation to begin your order.

Levitra 20mg, 10mg, and 5mg are available to buy from our online pharmacy. To begin your Levitra prescription, start a consultation with our online doctor.

When to Use Levitra Tablets?

Levitra (vardenafil) is an effective medicine that treats erectile dysfunction in men. The treatment is popular because it requires sexual stimulation to work and relaxes the muscles, which increases blood flow.

If you struggle to achieve or sustain an erection, Levitra can be beneficial. However, it doesn't treat erectile dysfunction and won't work if your libido is compromised.

Age Restrictions For Levitra

Levitra is suitable for adult males aged 18 or older. No dose change is needed for men over 65, but your prescriber will think carefully before moving you up to the maximum 20mg dose. However, this depends on your medical history.

How to Use Levitra Erectile Dysfunction Treatment?

When using Levitra tablets, please follow these instructions to ensure they provide the best possible results:

  • Timing: The usual starting dose is 10mg, taken around 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. Your prescriber may change this to 20mg or 5mg depending on how well it works for you and any side effects. Some people find that the tablets begin to work within 15 minutes, but they're most effective between 30 and 2 hours after taking them.
  • Stimulation: While Levitra remains active in your bloodstream for up to five hours after taking a dose, it's only effective with sexual stimulation.
  • Dosage: Take only 1 tablet within 24 hours.

When using Levitra, you can take it with or without food. However, consuming high-fat meals can affect the medication's potency.

Limiting your alcohol intake and avoiding grapefruit juice is also important. Both can increase the risks of side effects.

When to Avoid Using Levitra to Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

Levitra tablets increase blood flow and can interact with chemicals in your body. For this reason, there are some cases when you should avoid using them altogether. These include:

  • Nitrate Use: If you're using nitrate for heart problems or angina, avoid Levitra. The same applies to recreational amyl nitrate use (poppers).
  • Liver and Kidney Conditions: Do not take Levitra if you have severe liver disease or kidney failure that needs dialysis. If you have milder liver or kidney problems, your prescriber may start you on a lower dose.
  • Heart Conditions: Do not take Levitra if you have had a stroke or heart attack in the last 6 months, if you have unstable angina, or if you have a severe heart condition that means sexual activity is not advisable.
  • Blood Pressure Issues: Do not take Levitra if you have low blood pressure (below 90/50 mmHg).
  • HIV Medicines: Do not take Levitra if you take HIV protease inhibitors, such as ritonavir or indinavir.
  • Riociguat: Do not take Levitra if you take riociguat, a medicine for pulmonary hypertension.
  • Antifungals (Over 75s): Do not take Levitra if you are over 75 and take ketoconazole or itraconazole by mouth.
  • Eye Conditions: Do not take Levitra if you have an inherited eye disease such as retinitis pigmentosa, or if you have lost vision in one eye because of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Precautions For Levitra

  • Medications: If you're taking alpha-blockers or hypertension medications, please speak to your doctor before using ED treatments.
  • Eye Conditions: Individuals with other eye conditions should also exercise caution, as using Levitra can worsen their symptoms.
  • Other Conditions: If you have a deformity of the penis, your healthcare professional may recommend avoiding it.

  • Colloidal anhydrous silica
  • Crospovidone
  • Titanium dioxide (E171)
  • Magnesium stearate
  • Polyethene glycol (Macrogol 400)
  • Hypromellose (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose):
  • Iron oxide red (E172)

There are risks of side effects with all medications, including Levitra. Some are often mild but at times can be more serious and should be reported to your GP right away if experienced. Please speak to a member of the Pharmacy Online team if you are concerned about any potential side effects that may occur when taking Levitra.

Common side effects of Levitra may include:

  • Dizzy sensations
  • Hot flushing
  • Headaches (very common - may affect more than 1 in 10 people)
  • Runny/stuffed nose
  • Indigestion

Uncommon side effects of Levitra may include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhoea
  • Rash or reddened skin
  • Muscle and back pain

Rare side effects of Levitra may include:

  • Nosebleeds

The side effects listed below are of a serious nature; you should stop taking Levitra, and report these to your GP immediately.

  • Partial, sudden, temporary or permanent decrease or loss of vision, or distorted, dimmed or blurred central vision, in one or both eyes.
  • An erection that will not go away, or a painful erection that lasts a long time (priapism). Get medical help straight away.
  • Sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
  • Swelling of the face, mouth, lips, tongue, throat or neck causing difficulty breathing or swallowing (a serious allergic reaction).
  • Sudden chest pain, which may spread to the neck or arm, with shortness of breath and a clammy feeling. These may be signs of a heart attack.
  • Serious skin rashes: reddish, target-like or circular patches on the trunk, often with blisters in the middle, skin peeling, or ulcers of the mouth, throat, nose, genitals or eyes, which may start with fever and flu-like symptoms (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis).
How long does Levitra take to work?

The effects of Levitra are usually felt from 30 to 60 minutes after taking the medication. This can vary, but it is recommended that it is taken around 30-60 minutes before sexual activity.

The time Levitra takes to work can depend on factors including diet, alcohol, and sexual arousal.

How regularly can I take Levitra tablets?

For those who experience erectile dysfunction, Levitra can often be required regularly to maintain a normal sex life. You should not take Levitra more than once within a 24-hour period.

Can I take Levitra pills if I have heart problems?

Those with heart problems should be cautious when taking Levitra, because sexual activity itself puts some strain on the heart. Do not take Levitra if you have been told sexual activity is not safe for your heart, for example if you have unstable angina or severe heart failure, or if you have had a stroke or heart attack in the last 6 months.

Please speak to a GP to determine whether Levitra is suitable for you. Its suitability can depend on the severity of your heart condition as well as other circumstances.

Can I take Levitra even if I don’t have ED?

Levitra is a medication for those experiencing erectile dysfunction. It is not intended as a pill for enhancing sexual experience, so should not be taken if you do not suffer from erectile dysfunction.

How long will Levitra last?

The effects of Levitra can last for around 5 hours, depending on the dosage prescribed to you. A 10mg prescription is usually the most recommended for those struggling to achieve an erection.
