Levitra relaxes muscles within the penis. This allows increased
blood flow into the penis which is necessary to achieve and
maintain an erection. Levitra is used to treat erectile dysfunction
(impotence)
What should I discuss with my doctor before taking
Levitra ?
A small number of patients have lost eyesight in one
eye after taking Levitra . This type of vision loss is called non-arteritic
anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). NAION causes a sudden loss
of eyesight because blood flow is blocked to the optic nerve. It is not
clear at this time if Levitra causes NAION. NAION also happens in patients
who do not take Levitra.
People who have a higher chance for NAION include
those who:
have heart disease;
are over 50 years old;
have diabetes;
have high blood pressure;
have high cholesterol;
smoke; or
have certain eye problems.
Stop using Levitra if you have any loss in your eyesight
and seek medical help right away.
Do not take Levitra if you are taking any of
the following medicines:
A nitrate such as nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual,
Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, Minitran, Deponit, Transderm-Nitro, others), isosorbide
dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), isosorbide mononitrate
(Imdur, ISMO, Monoket), and others;
a recreational drug such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers");
or
an alpha blocker such as doxazosin (Cardura), guanadrel (Hylorel), prazosin
(Minipress), terazosin (Hytrin), alfuzosin (Uroxatral), tamsulosin (Flomax),
and others.
Taking Levitra with any of these medications may cause very low blood
pressure, possibly resulting in dizziness, fainting, stroke, or heart
attack.
