Understanding Levitra Prescribing Information and Dosage

Always follow your doctor’s instructions. They will determine the appropriate Levitra dosage based on your individual health needs and medical history.

Typical starting dose: The usual starting dose is 10 mg taken as needed, about 60 minutes before sexual activity.

Dosage adjustment: Your doctor may increase the dose to 20 mg or decrease it to 5 mg, depending on your response and any side effects. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician.

Maximum daily dose: Do not exceed 20 mg in a 24-hour period.

Frequency of use: Levitra is typically taken only when needed, not daily. Your doctor will advise you on appropriate frequency.

Food and alcohol: While Levitra can be taken with or without food, high-fat meals may delay the onset of action. Limit alcohol consumption as it can interact with Levitra and increase the risk of side effects.

Side effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. Severe side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Review the complete list of possible side effects provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug interactions: Levitra can interact with other medications. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.

Storage: Store Levitra at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Missed dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose.
