Both Levitra (vardenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil) can cause similar side effects, most commonly headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Less frequent side effects include back pain, muscle aches, and vision changes (such as blurred vision or temporary blue-tinged vision). Rarely, more serious side effects such as prolonged erection (priapism) or hearing loss can occur. Report any concerning symptoms to your doctor immediately.
Dosage Adjustments for Levitra
Levitra’s starting dose is typically 10 mg. Your doctor might adjust this to 5 mg or 20 mg based on your response and any side effects. The maximum recommended daily dose is 20 mg. Consider factors such as liver and kidney function when determining the appropriate dose, as these organs metabolize the medication.
Dosage Adjustments for Cialis
Cialis comes in two main forms: daily and as-needed. The daily dose typically starts at 2.5 mg or 5 mg, taken once daily. The as-needed dose usually begins at 10 mg, taken no more than once every 24 hours. Similar to Levitra, adjustments depend on individual responses and pre-existing health conditions. Your doctor will guide you on the best dosage for your circumstances.
Always discuss any potential side effects or dosage concerns with your doctor or pharmacist. They can help you manage any adverse reactions and find the most appropriate dosage for your individual needs.
