Answer:
Levitra is a new impotence drug that treats male
erectile dysfunction, ED.
According to a recent news release by Bayer/GSK,
ninety percent (90%) of men reported improved
erections. Each Levitra pill may work in as quickly
as 25 minutes and may work for up to 24 hours.
Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra, by blocking
an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5, or PDE-5.
This helps the smooth muscles in the penis to relax,
which effectively increases blood flow. Thus, allowing
the penis to become and stay harder longer.
Levitra should never be taken by men who:
1. Take nitrate-containing drugs for heart conditions.
2. Take medicines called alpha blockers, such as
Cardura, for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate.
3. Recent heart attack or stroke who have very low blood
pressure or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
4. Patients with a rare heart condition known as QT
prolongation.
As with most prescription medications, taking Levitra
may produce side effects. The most commonly reported
side effects of Levitra were headache, flushing, dyspepsia
(indigestion), and nasal congestion.
