Consult your doctor before taking Levitra. Headaches, flushing, and nasal congestion are common side effects. Less frequent, but still possible, are visual disturbances like blurred vision or changes in color perception. You might also experience indigestion or back pain.
Cardiovascular Considerations
Levitra can lower blood pressure, so discuss its use with your physician if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, or have recently had a heart attack or stroke. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Levitra, as this can exacerbate these risks.
Drug Interactions
Certain medications can interact negatively with Levitra. Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and supplements. This includes nitrates, commonly used for chest pain, as their combination can be dangerous.
