Levitra is absorbed more slowly in older people, especially people over 65, so they can often have the same benefits with a lower dose of the drug. People on certain medications might also have to take a lower dose of Levitra. Consult with your physician on the best dosing option for you.

1. How to use Levitra successfully and safely
Levitra Dosages
Levitra is available in 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg pills. 20mg is the maximum dose for
Levitra. Levitra comes in lower doses, so it generaly has fewer side effects. If a lower dose
works well for you, do not increase the dose as a higher dose won’t work any better and neither
has the drug been approved for higher doses.
Levitra should be taken no more than once a day; you must wait at least 24 hours before
repeating the Levitra dosage. It should not be combined with any other impotence treatment
drugs like Viagra or Cialis. The maximum recommended dose for Levitra is 20mg. It can take
anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to kick in. A very fatty meal may somewhat hinder
absorption time. Levitra effects could last up to 4 hours; in fact, some people also witness
lingering effects up to a day or two after taking this drug.
Side effects of Levitra
As with other ED drugs, there are side effects with Levitra. However, not everyone taking
Levitra will suffer them. Most people tolerate it quite well. And if side effects do occur, they are
usually minor and require little or no treatment. However, in clinical trials, up to 3.4% of the
people stopped taking Levitra because of side effects.
Based on research studies, common Levitra side effects include, headache, facial flushing,
indigestion or upset stomach, stuffy or runny nose (rhinitis), inflammation of the sinuses
(sinusitis), flu-like symptoms, accidental injury, nausea, dizziness and back pain.
These side effects normally go away after a couple of hours and do not require any medical
attention.
Rare Levitra side effects, occuring in fewer than 2% of the people taking the drug, include
allergic reactions, angina pectoris (chest pain) arthritis, blurred vision, diarrhoea, high blood
pressure (hypertension), insomnia, muscle pain (known as myalgia), prolonged erection without
pain, prolonged erection with pain (priapism), an unexplained rash, a sudden decrease in or loss
of hearing, ringing of the ears (tinnitus), blurred vision, temporary vision loss, urinary
incontinence and vomiting.
On extremely rare occasions, people taking Levitra have also experienced serious heart, brain,
or blood vessel problems. These include a heart attack, serious irregular heart rhythms, stroke,
transient ischemic attack (TIA - a mini-stroke), high blood pressure (hypertension), bleeding
within the brain or in the spaces just outside the brain and bleeding in the lungs
These side effects were generally witnessed in people with heart or blood vessel risk factors and
occurred during or shortly after sexual activity. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the
origin of these side effects or even if they direcetly related to Levitra.

2. In addition, rare cases of a condition called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
(NAION) associated with the use of PDE5 inhibitors has also come to light. This condition can
cause sudden vision loss in one or both eyes.
