Vardenafil is typically taken as needed, 25-50mg approximately 25-60 minutes before sexual activity. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response and individual needs. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose of 20mg per day.
Administration
Take Vardenafil orally with a glass of water. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as it can increase Vardenafil’s concentration in your blood, potentially leading to increased side effects. Food may slightly delay absorption, but doesn’t typically prevent it from working.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less frequent, but more serious side effects, require immediate medical attention.

Interactions
Vardenafil may interact with certain medications, including nitrates, alpha-blockers, and other erectile dysfunction treatments. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
