Levitra - Important Information

  • What are Levitra tablets?

    Levitra tablets are an erectile dysfunction treatment that contain the active ingredient vardenafil. The trading rights for vardenafil are owned by German company Bayer Pharmaceuticals; it is sold as Staxyn in India, and Vivanza in Italy. As of July 2019, there is a generic version of Levitra available called Vardenafil tablets, which are available in 5mg, 10mg & 20mg strengths.

    Levitra tablets are a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor which help to increase the normal flow of blood to your penis. They have been shown to be effective at treating men over 50 and people suffering from health risks like high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes, who may not be able to take other ED pills as a consequence.

    What are the main causes of ED?

    ED (impotence) is often caused by anxiety, stress, tiredness, smoking, or excessive consumption of alcohol. However, the NHS have noted that there are also a number of physical causes for ED. Among these are:

    • Hormone problems
    • High cholesterol level
    • Narrowing of the blood vessels in your penis
    • Being overweight

    The NHS have noted that ED can also be an early indication of more serious health conditions, such as:

    • Cardiovascular disease
    • High blood pressure
    • Diabetes

    If you are experiencing symptoms of ED it is important to seek advice from your GP, or a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic, as they will be able to advise what the best course of action is for you.

    How do Levitra tablets treat my ED?

    Levitra tablets are a medicine which is designed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The tablets contain the active ingredient vardenafil hydrochloride which increases blood flow to the penis. Together with sexual stimulation, the increased blood flow will help you to achieve and maintain a satisfactory erection to have sexual intercourse.

    How long do Levitra tablets last for?

    Levitra is available in 2 strengths: 10mg tablets and 20mg tablets. Each strength works after about 30 minutes and is effective for up to 10 hours. Your doctor will be able to help you choose the correct Levitra dosage, although the starting dose for most men is Levitra 10mg tablets.

We will ask you to complete a brief questionnaire, where you can indicate a preferred treatment. Our online doctor will check your medical history and suggest an appropriate treatment.

    Levitra vs Viagra, Cialis, or Spedra — which one should I use?

    The best ED medicine for you will depend on your physical condition and personal requirements. Levitra, Viagra, Cialis, and Spedra are among the most popular treatments for ED. Their benefits are:

    • Levitra – This is more effective than other ED at treating men over 50
    • Viagra – Fast acting, this will allow you to sustain an erection for 4-5 hours
    • Cialis – Long-lasting, this gives you the ability to achieve an erection over an extended period of time – up to 36 hours
    • Spedra – One of the fastest ED treatments available, this will take effect after 20 minutes and lasts for up to 5 hours

    Here’s a guide that looks at Levitra vs Viagra and other ED medicines in more detail.

    Are there non-prescription alternatives to Levitra?

    There are a number of non-prescription alternatives for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction such as:

    • Changes to diet (cutting down alcohol and fat consumption)
    • Exercise
    • Stopping smoking
    • Reducing stress
    • Counselling
    • Vacuum devices (penis pumps)

    To learn more about erectile dysfunction and available treatments, visit our Erectile Dysfunction page.

    Pharmacist Tip

    Eat a balanced diet: regular consumption of fatty foods will cause weight gain and contribute to blocked arteries, which reduces blood flow to your penis.

    Reduce alcohol consumption: Alcohol depresses the central nervous system, making it harder for you to achieve an erection.

    User reviews of Levitra

    Reviews from people who use Levitra describe the treatment as being very effective, while reiterating that its speed — the tablets take effect within 30 minutes.

    Users have flagged the impact of tiredness on the effectiveness of Levitra, with a number of reviewers suggesting that you may not want to take medication after a long day.

    • You have high or low blood pressure
    • You suffer from liver or kidney disease

    Levitra tablets can slightly lower the blood pressure. For most men this isn’t a concern. However, this effect on blood pressure can be exaggerated if Levitra is taken with a nitrate drug, such as Isosorbide or Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN). If taking nitrate drugs then Levitra tablets should not be used. Levitra tablets should be used in caution if combined with alpha blockers due to the potential hypotensive effects.

Levitra Tablets (10mg & 20mg) FAQs

  • You can take Levitra tablets with or without food. Consuming excessive amounts of alcohol prior to taking Levitra is not recommended. Large quantities of alcohol can make it difficult to achieve an erection but small to moderate alcohol consumption is unlikely to interfere.

  • In clinical studies, Levitra has been proven effective for a wide range of age groups (18 - 89 years) and in men with other conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and lung problems, high cholesterol and depression. Levitra was proven to increase erection maintenance and successful penetration.

  • You should only take Levitra if it has been prescribed by a registered doctor. Men with severe cardiac disease, unstable angina or angina occurring during sexual activity, low blood pressure or have had a recent heart attack or stroke should not take Levitra.

    Treatments for erectile dysfunction may not be effective for men with deformity of the penis such an angulation and bent penis. Levitra can also be dangerous when combined with other medicines such as alpha blockers, ketoconazole and itraconazole. You should also avoid HIV medications such as ritonavir and indinavir while taking Levitra. Some antibiotics can also affect this medication.

    Levitra can be more effective for men aged over 50 or those who have other health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

    Here’s a guide that looks at Levitra vs Viagra and other ED medicines in more detail.

  • Levitra or vardenafil, is similar to sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and avanafil (Spedra). Levitra has a slight molecular difference to Viagra/sildenafil, giving it a longer effect.

    The Independent Pharmacy also supplies Vitaros cream, a non-tablet treatment for ED.

  • Levitra can remain effective for 12 hours or longer. While erections will not be continuous during this period, they are likely to be improved with arousal during those 12 hours.

  • PDE5 inhibitors are usually steady and predictable. Generally, if Levitra has worked before, it’s going to work every time.

    If your erectile dysfunction is psychological, you may require specialist treatment.

    Erectile dysfunction can also indicate serious health conditions such as atherosclerosis and heart disease. You should consult your doctor about any erectile performance trouble.

  • Levitra should be avoided by men with a history of angina, recent stroke or heart attack, high or low blood pressure and a range of less common medical conditions. There is no age limit for the use of Levitra.

    Some medications interact with Levitra, particularly nitrates. Levitra in combination with nitrates can result in low blood pressure.

  • No, Cialis works in the same way as Levitra, but its effects last for up to 36 hours. Levitra is most effective when sexual activity occurs within 12 hours of taking a tablet. Erections will only occur with arousal.

  • The wholesale price is set by the manufacturing drug company, Bayer, so pharmacies usually pay the same price for Levitra. Pharmacies then set their own prices for drugs depending on their business model. The Independent Pharmacy keeps prices lower and benefits from high levels of repeat ordering.

  • No, taking a combination of other ED tablets will not produce stronger erections and will increase your risk for side effects. Allow 24 hours between taking Levitra and a different ED medicine. Wait for 48 hours after taking Cialis.

  • Levitra remains active for 12 hours. Wait 24 hours before taking another tablet.

  • You can drink 1 to 2 units of alcohol with Levitra. Keep in mind that Alcohol is a depressant and reduces the strength of erections. This can counteract the effect of medications taken to treat ED. Additionally, any more than small amounts of alcohol may increase some of Levitra’s side effects, especially low blood pressure.

  • You can take Levitra with most prescription medicines. However there are a number of prescription medicines which interact with Levitra, most notable are nitrates used to treat heart disease and angina. During online consultations, we will check for medications that interact. You can read the full list of medications that interact with Levira in the patient information leaflet supplied with the tablets.

  • No, Levitra and the other common ED medications support natural erections. After taking the tablet, sexual arousal and stimulation need to be present before an erection will occur. Without this stimulation Levitra remains inactive.

  • No, Levitra tablets are film-coated and should not be split. Breaking the film coat will reduce their effectiveness.

  • Levitra is available by prescription only. Doctors or specialist pharmacists can prescribe it and it must be dispensed by a registered pharmacy. Online clinics supply Levitra through electronic prescriptions.

  • GPs and NHS specialists can prescribe limited amounts and on a strict eligibility basis on the NHS. NHS prescription fees apply.

  • Most private doctors charge at least £25.00 for a prescription. NHS doctors also charge for writing private prescriptions. In general, online services are cheaper but costs can vary and it is worth some research. Be sure to use only fully regulated websites.

  • Levitra is usually an effective treatment and works consistently each time. The same dose should work over a period of years. The body does not build a tolerance to Levitra and they should not become less effective. However, in the situation where the tablet is not taken properly, the results may be disappointing. In this case, it is best to try the same dose again. Only increase your dose if the previous dose has not worked on several occasions. If you response to Levitra continues to be poor, consult your doctor. There may have been a progression in the underlying cause of the ED or some other new factor may need to be examined.

  • Oro-dispersible tablets dissolve on your tongue and are rapidly absorbed for faster effect.

    Levitra is available as an oro-dispersible tablet for men who struggle to swallow normal tablets.

  • Levitra will not increase a man’s sex drive but will help him achieve an erection when he is sexually stimulated. Levitra is not a contraceptive and does not protect partners from STI’s (sexually transmitted infections). For these reasons, it is important to use birth control and/or a condom.

  • Do not take more than the recommended dose of Levitra. Also, do not take an alternative treatment such as Viagra or Cialis within 24 hours of taking Levitra.
