Levitra Information:
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
The following information is intended to supplement,

It should not be construed to indicate that use of the
drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult
your healthcare professional before using this drug.
USES:
Levitra is a new impotence drug that treats
male erectile dysfunction, ED. According to a recent
news release by Bayer/GlaxoSmithKline, ninety percent
(90%) of men reported improved erections. Each Levitra
pill may work in as quickly as 25 minutes and may work
for up to 24 hours. Levitra acts in the same way as
Viagra, by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5,
or PDE-5. This helps the smooth muscles in the penis
to relax, which effectively increases blood flow. Thus,
allowing the penis to become and stay harder longer.
HOW
TO USE: Levitra is taken orally when needed
between 4.30 hrs and 30 minutes before sexual activity.
Take Levitra only as directed, usually once daily as
needed. Levitra works along with sexual stimulation
to help achieve an erection.
SIDE
EFFECTS: Headache, flushing, stomach upset,
nasal stuffiness, diarrhea and dizziness might occur.
If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor
promptly. Unlikely but report promptly: painful or other
urination problems, vision problems, skin rash. Very
unlikely but report promptly: chest pain, fainting,
foot or ankle swelling. If you experience a painful
or prolonged erection (lasting longer than 4 hours),
stop using this drug and seek immediate medical attention.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor or pharmacist.
