Levitra is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. This FDA-approved medication is an oral prescription treatment for men that can be taken once daily. If taken 1 hour before sexual intercourse, an erection can be successfully maintained in most cases.
Features
According to the Mayo Clinic, Levitra slows down the effects of enzymes called phosphodiesterases. These substances are responsible for increasing blood flow to the penis, which allows an erection to be maintained. The more gradual the enzyme function, the longer the penis will remain erect.
Side Effects
Levitra's most common side effects include sneezing, stuffy nose, and warmth and redness of the body. Serious side effects include priapism (erection lasting for several hours) and the inability to distinguish the color blue from green, according to the manufacturers website (see Reference 1). Call your doctor if these or any other side effects develop.
Warning
Tell your doctor about your medical history, medications and allergies. Certain medicines, conditions and allergies can interfere with Levitra's effectiveness and might cause serious harm.
Statistics
About 80 percent of men taking Levitra are able to maintain an erection, according to the drug's manufacturer (see Reference 1). Call your doctor if you suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Dosage
Levitra is available in tablet form, and dosage is different for each person. Call your doctor to obtain a prescription.
