Viagra was an unchallenged player for a long time until the launch of Levitra. The one and only impotence drug, Viagra remained unthreatened for a long time. Some time after Levitra launch, people shifted loyalties and found Levitra worked better than Viagra even in lower doses.
In reality, most people need 50mg or 100mg dosage of Viagra tablets for better results. 25mg Viagra does not seem to work for most. Whereas, Levitra comes in considerably dosage forms of 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, with 10mg dose working effectively for most people.
Levitra is also a step ahead of Viagra as lesser dosage means lesser probability of side effects. In this sense, you might experience fewer side effects with Levitra and you can wipe out the chances of experiencing the nasty side effects of Viagra.
If you are allergic to the active ingredient sildenafil found in Viagra or any other active ingredient, Levitra could be your answer. So find out more about Levitra, the ‘not so popular’ yet an effective impotence medicine. Levitra may be the manna from heaven for you even if Viagra wasn’t.
What is the normal recommended dosage?
The suggested dose of levitra is to start with 10mg, and to adjust the strength depending on the results. However, the doctor may change your selection if he/she feels that based on your medical conditions.
How effective is Levitra?
4,400 men with impotence participated in over 50 trials to test the effectiveness of Levitra. The studies revealed a clinically meaningful and statistically significant result compared with placebo.
A further four independent trials were done for Levitra in the US. Two trials were conducted in the general impotence population and two in special groups (patients with diabetes; and post-prostatectomy patients). The results for all four trials were just as significant: Levitra significantly improved the rates of achieving an erection compared to placebo (80% for Levitra 20mg, compared to a 52% response in the placebo).
Who should not take Levitra?
Levitra is only for male patients with impotence; it is not for children or women. Before you start treatment of Levitra, be sure to ask your family doctor if your heart is healthy enough, as it can alter blood pressure.
Levitra is never to be used in conjunction with nitrate drugs. The combination of Levitra and nitrates can make your blood pressure suddenly drop to unsafe levels. Nitrates are found in many prescription medications that are used to treat angina (chest pain due to heart disease), including:
• Nitroglycerin(sprays, ointments, skin patches or pastes, and tablets that are swallowed or dissolved in the mouth)
• Isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate (tablets that are swallowed, chewed, or dissolved in the mouth)
Nitrates are also found in recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers"). If you are not sure if any of your medications contain nitrates, or if you do not understand what nitrates are, contact HealthExpress.
