Levitra: Is It Harmful?


Levitra belongs to a group of medication used for treating erectile dysfunction in men. It is a known medication for the treatment of weak penile erection. This embarrassing situation of failing to maintain an erection until ejaculation is often referred to as impotence. There are a number of medications that are used by men all across the world to correct erectile dysfunction. The pill Levitra that belongs to the ED group of drugs has gained immense popularity due to its encouraging results.

The pill Levitra is considered to be a wonder pill by those suffering from erectile dysfunction. The pill has a simple mechanism; it works by relaxing the muscles to increase blood flow to the penis. The extra flow of blood stiffens the penis thus helping men get a harder erection. Moreover, the pill works by preventing blood from flowing out of the penis. This helps to keep a longer-lasting erection. Generally, after the sexual activity ceases, the erection goes away.

As with all ED drugs, Levitra is also not free from side effects – at first it should not be taken by those who are on nitrate drugs (often used to control chest pain). Such combinations could cause blood pressure to drop to an unsafe level. In clinical trials, the most commonly reported side effects were headache, flushing and stuffy or runny nose. The drug also carries the risk of an erection lasting longer than four hours. In such a situation immediate medical attention is required.

In rare instances, the use of Levitra may result into a sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes. Its use may also result into a sudden decrease or loss in hearing, sometimes with ringing in the ears and dizziness. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to PDE5 inhibitors like Levitra or to other factors.

In general, Levitra is not harmful, however, occasionally one may experience any of the above side effects; under such circumstances it is advisable to stop taking the pill and to call a doctor right away.
