Levitra - You should be aware of the following problems (part 2)
Start
3. Do not take Levitra if you are also taking any drug, whether medicinal or recreational, that contains a nitrate, e.g. for the treatment of angina or heart disease. Combining Levitra with a nitrate can cause a sudden loss of blood pressure. You may feel dizzy and faint. In very rare cases, it can cause a stroke or a heart attack. You must also be very cautious if you are taking other prescription medications including:
different branded or generic drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is natural that you worry about your ability to have sexual intercourse, but taking more than one medication at the same time is an overdose and can be dangerous. Further, unless your doctor specifically allows it, you should not use any of the drugs to treat impotence with a different set of symptoms and causes such as alprostadil.
one of the macrolide antibiotics such as clarithromycin or erythromycin;
one of the alpha blockers used to treat high blood pressure such as doxazosin and prazosin;
one of the drugs used to treat arrhythmia such as amiodarone;
one of the drugs used to treat fungal infections such as itraconazole;
one of the mood stabilising drugs such as carbamazepine; and
any combination of the drugs used to treat HIV infection.
This is not a complete list. There are other drugs that can affect the way in which Levitra works in your body. It is in your own interests to give your doctor a complete list of all the drugs, non-prescription medications, and health and herbal products that you are taking. Then, after starting to take Levitra, do not start to take any new medicine or products (even something as apparently innocent as vitamins) without first consulting your doctor.
4. Levitra is not designed to be taken by women, but some women do experiment. This is not unsafe. But, if you are pregnant, you should seek medical advice. At the time of writing, there is no evidence that Levitra will harm your unborn baby. There is also no evidence that Levitra will get into your breast milk and affect a baby boy. Nevertheless, research continues all the time and you should always ensure that you have the most up-to-date information.
