Levitra ED medication

* Men who take any medicine containing nitrates should NEVER take Levitra. Taking nitrates in combination with Levitra could produce a serious drop in blood pressure. For example, nitroglycerin, commonly prescribed to treat chest pain, is one drug that contains nitrates.
* Amyl nitrate (aka poppers) and some other recreational drugs also contain nitrates. Men who take recreational drugs containing nitrates should NEVER take Levitra.
* Levitra is typically prescribed only to men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, also known as male impotence. Only a qualified, licensed physician can determine whether you have ED, and if so, what treatments might help the condition.
* Men who have not experienced erectile dysfunction should not take Levitra. It is not recommended for recreational use and should not be taken casually
* Do not take Levitra to enhance sexual desire. There is no clinical evidence to suggest that Levitra works as an aphrodisiac. Also, since some men who take Levitra may experience side effects, it should be used with care and under proper medical supervision.
* Levitra is not recommended for men who are already taking another ED drug to treat their erectile dysfunction. Nor should it be used by men who are receiving some other form of treatment to improve their erections.
* Anyone who has been advised to abstain from sexual intercourse because of cardiovascular risk or any other reason should not take Levitra. This may include men who have recently suffered a stroke or heart attack.
* Since Levitra takes effect for most people within about one hour and its effects last for about four hours, the drug should only be taken by men who are planning to have sex within a few hours of taking it.

Answer: Who knows. “Herbal Levitra” could contain anything. “Herbal” products do not meet the strict standards for quality and safety required for FDA-approved drugs like Levitra. There’s no telling what might be in “Herbal Levitra” or “Herbal Viagra”. There’s no way to know exactly what it contains, what are the exact dosages of those ingredients, etc.

Even though people imagine “herbal” products to be safer, you are taking a much lower risk by taking authentic Levitra, manufactured by Bayer, or authentic Viagra, manufactured by Pfizer. You can be sure these drugs are pure, produced under safe conditions, and that the drugs have been studied carefully for safety, side effects, interactions with other drugs, etc. etc. etc. When you purchase an “herbal alternative” you can only hope it is safe and effective.

Herbal products may or may not work. One “herbal Viagra” product sold in the US was even found to contain sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Viagra! It probably did work, but if you want to take Viagra or Levitra, why wouldn’t you take real FDA-approved Viagra or Levitra instead of some potentially dangerous knock-off?

Legitimate online pharmacies only sell real Levitra and US-licensed doctors and pharmacists who review your prescription. We believe taking an “herbal alternative” isn’t worth the risk.
