Levitra is a medicine that helps men
to bring back their sexual strengths
in the form of an erection. Many men
lose their ability to have an erection
for various reasons, and Levitra has
proved to be successful in bringing
their sex lives back to normal.
Ingredients:
Levitra’s chief ingredient is
a vardenafil monohydrochloride salt;
it is a selective inhibitor of cyclic
guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific
phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Chemically,
Vardenafil HCl is known as piperazine,
1-[[3-(1,4-dihydro-5-methyl-4-oxo-7-propylimidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]
triazin-2-yl)-4-ethoxyphenyl]sulfonyl]-4-ethyl-,
monohydrochloride.
Chemistry:
Vardenafil monohydrochloride is almost
colorless. IT is a solid, and has
a molar mass of 579.1 g/mol. Its solubility
is around 0.11 mg/ml in water. The
Levitra Pill itself is an orange,
rounded, and coated tablet. It has
"BAYER" debossed on one
of its sides.
Levitra pills come in the following
sizes with the corresponding content
of the major active ingredient:

Aside from the active ingredient
in Levitra, the follow ingredients
are included:
• microcrystalline cellulose,
• magnesium stearate,
• hypromellose,
• polyethylene glycol,
• titanium dioxide,
• crospovidone,
• colloidal silicon dioxide,
• yellow ferric oxide,
• red ferric oxide.
Dosage:
By dosage, the minimum dosage of
Levitra that men should take is 10mg.
However, it is better to start off
on a lower dosage of 5 mgs. There
is no fixed dosage for Levitra because
it is taken according to when one
needs it. This is usually one pill
every 24 hours. However, doctors advise
some men according to their age and
physical condition. Men who are not
fit to take Levitra every 24 hours
can be asked to consume it every 72
hours. This ensures their safety from
side effects that could be severe.
Some of the side effects that one
might experience with an overdose
of Levitra or with a general reaction
to Levitra
• nausea,
• Angina
• dizziness,
For individuals receiving particular
CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole,
itraconazole, ritonavir, indinavir,
and erythromycin, might need to have
their dosages adjusted by a doctor.
This reveals the importance of getting
one’s self thoroughly checked
up by a doctor before proceeding with
using Levitra. All medications that
one consumes need to be noted carefully,
and the doctor needs to be told of
all medicines used. This is an all
important point to take note of because
of the fact that there are few medications
that interact with Levitra and disrupt
your normal body functions.
Some of the medications that
do interfere with Levitra’s
functions include:
• erythromycin,
• azole antifungals
• mibefradil,
• rifamycins
• nitrate medications
• nitroprusside
• cimetidine,
• medications for high blood
pressure.
These medications or those containing
these should be watched out for in
order to avoid any complications.
