The first thing you may wonder about when considering taking Levitra-or any medication for erectile dysfunction for that matter-is “how does it work?”
Most medications for erectile dysfunction work by relaxing certain muscles which allows blood to flow easily into the penis. These medications do not cause you to become aroused, a popular misconception. They actually will only work if you are already aroused. The difference between them is that some of them have to be taken hours before you plan on sexual activity, and some you can take more spontaneously.
Like any medication that you may consider taking, Levitra tablets should be discussed at length with your doctor. Before doing this, however, you’ll want to make sure you speak to your significant other about your plans to take this. Many men feel uncomfortable and embarrassed when they realize they may need a little help to obtain and retain an erection. This is nothing to be embarrassed about and will be much easier to discuss if you are completely open and honest. Your partner will thank you for a more fulfilling sex life, and more importantly will be happy and thankful that you yourself are achieving the most fulfilling sex life you can have. You may want to make a list of questions you have before you go to the doctor.
That being said, when you go to your doctor to discuss possibly taking Levitra tablets, you’ll want to bring with you a complete and honest list of all the medications you are taking.
Levitra tablets should not be considered if you are taking a nitrate drug for chest pain or chest problems. It should also not be considered if you are allergic to vardenafil. These are only two of the restrictions. Things to be sure to mention to your doctor are: any heart problems (including family history of heart problems), eye disorders, hearing and/or vision problems, stomach ulcers, hemophilia (and similar), physical deformities of your penis such as peyronie’s disease, liver or kidney disease, high or low blood pressure, or seizures.
There are also side effects and risks to be aware of when discussing taking Levitra tablets. Some of these include: sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, and others. Drinking alcohol can increase the symptoms of side effects you may get while taking Levitra tablets. If you experience any of these, you should contact your doctor immediately to discuss it.
Most importantly, remember that Levitra tablets can enhance your sex life for you AND your partner. Many men have had success with this aid.
