Important Safety Information
Vilitra 20 mg should be used only under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional. Before taking vardenafil, discuss your medical history and all prescription medicines, nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use. Vardenafil must not be combined with nitrate medicines because the combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure. Extra caution may also be necessary for people using alpha-blockers or blood-pressure medicines, or those with heart, liver, kidney, bleeding, or eye conditions. Do not combine vardenafil with other erectile dysfunction medicines unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects associated with vardenafil can include headache, flushing, indigestion, heartburn, dizziness, and a stuffy or runny nose. These effects are often temporary, but medical advice should be sought if they become severe or do not go away. Obtain urgent medical assistance for chest pain, fainting, a sudden change or loss of vision, sudden hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours. Always tell emergency medical personnel when vardenafil was last taken because nitrate treatment may be unsafe.
Using and Storing Vardenafil Responsibly
Take only the dose recommended by a licensed healthcare professional and never take more than one dose within 24 hours. Sexual stimulation is still required for an erection to occur. Ask a healthcare professional about alcohol, grapefruit products, and any possible medicine interactions before use. Keep the tablets in their original packaging, stored at room temperature and protected from excess heat and moisture. Keep all medication away from children and pets, never share it with another person, and check the packaging and expiration date before use.
