PRECAUTIONS : One should
have a complete medical history and exam to determine the
cause of his impotence before taking Levitra. Men who have
medical conditions that may cause a sustained erection
such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia or multiple myeloma
or who have an abnormally shaped penis may not be able to
take Levitra. There are several medications that are known
to interact with Levitra, so be sure to tell your doctor
about all medications you are taking including those you
can get without a prescription. Levitra has not been
studied with other treatments for impotence, so use of
Levitra in combination with other treatments is not
recommended. Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate
SIDE EFFECTS of Levitra. To avoid dizziness and
lightheadedness when rising from a seated or lying
position, get up slowly. The elderly may be more sensitive
to the SIDE EFFECTS of Levitra; therefore, caution is
advised in this group.
