Levitra is a brand name tablet formulation based on vardenafil.
The principle effect is similar to that of Viagra, however, Levitra, which was developed later, is more effective and has a milder effect for many people. Vardenafil maintains its effectiveness after eating fatty foods or drinking alcohol, which is not true for Viagra. These tablets usually even work for patients who have diabetes or other diseases which reduce the effectiveness of similar medications.
The tablet takes effect after 40-60 minutes, and lasts for 4-5 hours.

Can all men take Levitra?
If you are in good physical health, the answer is Yes - but older people may have to reduce the dosage. If you have recently had a stroke or heart attack, you should consult your doctor to make sure that resuming sexual activity is safe for you. Additionally, some drugs can interact with vardenafil and cause unwanted side effects. You cannot combine Levitra with medications containing nitrates, medications for lowering blood pressure, or medications for regulating heartbeat. If you are taking certain antidepressants or antibiotics, you should consider postponing the usage of Levitra.
What can I drink or eat?
There are no serious problems associated with food. Three things you need to be aware of are:
- It is not recommended to drink juice from a fresh grapefruit, as this may change the rate of absorption of vardenafil into the blood.
- Avoid eating a large amount of food before taking Levitra, as this may cause your sexual response may slow down.
- Do not drink alcohol in large quantities with the drug. This may cause a reduction in blood pressure.
Taking Levitra
Do not exceed the recommended dose. Your sexual response will not be better if you take more. If you exceed the recommended dose or use Levitra with other medicines to treat impotence, you may experience unwanted side effects. You may have to wait up to an hour before sexual activity. You cannot take more than one dose in a 24 hour period.
Side effects
For most people, the medication does not cause any side effects. However, some people may experience undesirable reactions such as gastric upset, weak back pain, or nasal congestion. These side effects subside quickly, however, in rare cases, these symptoms may be potentially hazardous, requiring medical attention.
