Vardenafil, as with all PDE5 inhibitors, should not be used by men taking nitrate medications, because combining them with vardenafil might provoke potentially life-threatening hypotension (low blood pressure). The common, adverse drug reactions (side-effects) are the same as with other PDE5 inhibitors. The frequent vardenafil-specific side-effect is nausea; the infrequent side-effects are: abdominal pain, back pain, photosensitivity, abnormal vision, eye pain, facial oedema, hypotension, palpitation, tachycardia, arthralgia, myalgia, rash, itch, and priapism (Rossi, 2004). 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. 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. These are the more common side effects of LEVITRA. They are usually mild and short-lived. Very rarely, your erection may persist for longer than usual. If your erection continues for longer than four hours, or if you have a painful erection, you should seek medical attention. If your doctor tells you to stop taking LEVITRA tablets or the tablets have passed their expiry date, ask your pharmacist what to do with any that are left over.
