Levitra is a medication designed to support sexual function in men. Before taking Levitra, it is crucial to carefully read the instructions and familiarize oneself with the contraindications, precautions, and potential side effects.

Contraindications for Levitra include:

  1. Hypersensitivity, intolerance, or allergies to any component of the medication.
  2. Combination with nitrates or drugs that contribute to the production of nitric oxide.
  3. Simultaneous use with drugs aimed at suppressing HIV virus reproduction is not recommended.
  4. The remedy is not intended for women and children under 16 years old.

Special care should be taken when using Levitra in the following cases:

  1. Anatomical deformation of the penis.
  2. Diseases leading to a prolonged erection not associated with sexual arousal, such as myeloma or leukocytic sarcoma.
  3. Liver disease: In cases of mild liver dysfunction, the dosage specified in the instructions remains unchanged. However, in severe disorders, treatment should begin with a reduced dose, under the condition of normal tolerance to the drug.
  4. Diseases of the genitourinary system, particularly the kidneys: Adjustment of the daily rate is typically not required.
  5. Hypotension, when blood pressure drops below 90 mm of mercury.
  6. After a stroke, heart attack, or other ischemic heart diseases.
  7. Ulcers.
  8. Levitra should not be used before driving or operating machinery, as its full effects have not been fully studied.

Side effects of Levitra are relatively rare and generally well-tolerated, resolving quickly. The most common side effects include:

  1. Dysfunctions of the central and peripheral nervous system, manifesting as intermittent and mild headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, anxiety, and, in rare cases, fainting.
  2. Dysfunctions of the cardiovascular system, typically characterized by facial flushing and a feeling of warmth. In rare cases, low or high blood pressure, postural changes, and other heart diseases may occur.
  3. Gastrointestinal tract dysfunction, manifesting as nausea and digestive disorders.
  4. Respiratory organ dysfunction, including upper respiratory tract mucous membrane edema, rhinitis, shortness of breath, and nosebleeds.
  5. Visual organ dysfunction, such as increased tearing, impaired vision, and increased intraocular pressure.
  6. Facial swelling and increased light sensitivity.
  7. Musculoskeletal system dysfunction, including back pain and increased muscle tone, even at rest.
  8. Reproductive organ dysfunction, such as prolonged or painful erections, sometimes occurring without sexual arousal.

By understanding the potential contraindications, precautions, and side effects associated with Levitra, men can make informed decisions about their health and discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider.
