Who Should Avoid Levitra
Start
* 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.
