Buy Levitra tablets
Levitra Tablets contain the active ingredient vardenafil which belongs to a group of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. These tablets are used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men, meaning you struggle to get and maintain an erection. These tablets are available in multiple strengths (10mg and 20mg).
How Levitra works
Vardenafil is the active ingredient in Levitra Tablets, and it works by reducing the action of the natural chemical in your body which makes erections go away. Vardenafil allows an erection to last long enough for you to satisfactorily complete sexual activity.
Directions
Always take Levitra Tablets exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. Swallow one tablet with a glass of water 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. With sexual stimulation you may achieve an erection anywhere from 25 minutes up to four to five hours after taking these tablets. Do not take more than one tablet per day.
Side effects
Like all medicines, Levitra Tablets may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects include:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Flushing
- Blocked or runny nose
- Indigestion
For more information on potential side effects, refer to the patient information leaflet. If you experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
Serious side effects
Serious side effects of Levitra tablets include:
- A partial, sudden, temporary or permanent decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes
- A sudden decrease or loss of hearing
- Sudden death
- Fast or altered heartbeat
- Heart attacks
- Chest pain
- Trouble in the cerebral circulation, including a temporary decrease in blood flow to parts of the brain and bleeding in the brain
- Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, including swelling of the face, mouth, tongue or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, an itchy skin rash, and hives
If you experience serious side effects while taking this medication you should stop your treatment and speak to your doctor immediately. If your side effects are particularly severe you should seek treatment at your local A&E department or call 999 for emergency medical services.
Warnings
Driving
Levitra Tablets might make some people feel dizzy or affect their vision. If you feel dizzy, or if your vision is affected after taking these tablets, do not drive or operate any tools or machines.
Food warnings
You can take Levitra Tablets with or without food but preferably not after a heavy or high-fat meal as this may delay the effect. Do not drink grapefruit juice when you are taking these tablets as it can interfere with the usual effect of the medicine.
Alcohol
Alcohol can cause or worsen erection problems in men. We do not recommend drinking alcohol while taking Levitra for this reason.
Other medicines
If you are taking any other medications you should let your prescriber know about them during your consultation for Levitra tablets. This is especially important if you are already taking:
- Medicines containing nitrates, such as glycerol trinitrate for angina, or nitric oxide donors, such as amyl nitrite. Taking these medicines with Levitra could seriously affect your blood pressure.
- Ritonavir or indinavir, medicines used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections.
- If you are over 75 years of age and are taking ketoconazole or itraconazole, antifungal medicines.
- Riociguat. This drug is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure in the lungs) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (i.e. high blood pressure in the lungs secondary to blood clots). PDE5 inhibitors, such as Levitra have been shown to increase the hypotensive effects of this medicine.
- Any other medications used to treat erectile dysfunction, e.g. Viagra.

What causes erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction, sometimes known as impotence, is a common problem amongst men and may be caused by age, being overweight, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, or having a medical condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease.
The inability to create or maintain an erection happens when there isn’t enough blood flowing to the penis, if the penis cannot trap blood, or when the nerve signals don’t send the signal of arousal to the penis.
Diabetes can cause nerve damage in the penis, in addition to certain cancer treatments affecting its functionality.
