Erection Pills: Levitra

This will be a short post on the erection pill, sold as Levitra. Since the drug is very similar to Viagra, I'd recommend, if you haven't already, to read this post.

Levitra causes, when sexual stimulation occurs, relaxation in the blood vessels supplying blood to the penis, thereby allowing increased blood flow. It is the same basic principle as the vast majority of erection pills on the market. The drug is effective slightly longer than Viagra, but a lot shorter than Cialis. Usually patients start on a 10 mg dose, taken as needed, one to two hours before sexual activity. The dose might then be altered to 2.5, 5 or 20 mg depending on the reaction. At most, one pill can be taken a day.

The adverse side effects are, also, similar to other erection drugs on the market. The most frequent being nausea, others include abdominal pain, back pain, abnormal vision, eye pain, hypertension, myalgia, rash, itch, and priapism. Very serious, but also very rare, adverse side effects are heart attack, damage of penis tissue causing permanent erectile dysfunction, and sudden hearing loss. Counter indications are similar to Viagra.

As always, it is extremely important to consult your doctor before starting the treatment.
