All about Generic Levitra - Vardenafil.

Things you must do
Tell all the doctors, dentists and pharmacists who are treating you that you are taking LEVITRA.

If you are about to start taking any new medicines, especially nitrates, tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking LEVITRA. Refer our “Before You Take Levitra” section above for a list of common nitrate medications list.

If LEVITRA does not help you get an erection, or if your erection does not last long enough to complete sexual intercourse, tell your doctor. In these cases, your doctor may need to adjust your dose.

Things you must not do
Do not use the unregistered drug amyl nitrite (sometimes called ‘poppers’, ‘amyl’ or ‘rush’) while you are taking LEVITRA.

If you get an angina attack whilst taking LEVITRA, do not take nitrate medicines to relieve the pain. Tell your doctor immediately. And make sure that your doctor knows you are taking LEVITRA.

Do not take more than one dose of LEVITRA a day. If LEVITRA does not help you get an erection, or if your erection does not last long enough to complete sexual intercourse, tell your doctor.

Do not give your LEVITRA tablets to anyone else, even if they have the same condition as you.

What to be careful of
Drinking alcohol can temporarily damage the capability to get an erection. To reduce this impairment do not drink large amounts of alcohol before sexual activity.

Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how LEVITRA affects you. LEVITRA tablets may cause dizziness or faintness in some patients. The ability to drive and/or operate machinery may be impaired. If you drink alcohol, dizziness or faintness may be worse.

Take your dose of Levitra about 25 to 60 minutes before you wish to have sex. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.

Sexual stimulation is required for a natural response to treatment with Levitra.

Levitra can be taken with or without food.

The medicine may be taken anywhere between 15 minutes to up to 5 hours before sexual activity. The amount of time Levitra takes to start working varies from person to person, but it normally takes between 25 to 60 minutes.

If you are not sure what to do, ask your doctor or pharmacist or write to us.

If you have trouble remembering when to take your medicine, ask your pharmacist for some hints.

New data from other studies reinforced Levitra’s excellent efficacy and reliability, specifically with respect to how quickly and consistently it works in study participants.

• In one of these studies, significantly more men taking Levitra 20 mg experienced an erection adequate for successful completion of intercourse as early as 16 minutes after dosing than men taking placebo in an at-home setting. Results from this multi-centre, double-blind study were based on 498 patients randomised to either Levitra 20 mg or placebo.
• In a second study, 76 percent of men reported successful penetration on their first attempt at intercourse after taking Levitra 20 mg (versus 44% placebo) and the men who were successful the first time also reported successful penetration 91 percent of the time on subsequent attempts (versus 74% placebo). Findings were based on a retrospective data analysis of two double-blind, Phase III trials involving 1385 men for a 12-week study period.
