Always consult your doctor before starting Vardenafil. This medication treats erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Understanding your individual health needs is key.
Understanding Vardenafil’s Mechanism
Vardenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis, aiding in achieving and maintaining an erection. For PAH, it improves blood flow to the lungs. Dosage depends on your condition and health status – your physician will guide you.
Common Side Effects and Precautions
Headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion are common. Serious side effects are rare but include vision changes (blue tint or sudden vision loss), hearing loss, and prolonged erection (priapism). Inform your doctor immediately if any occur. Contraindications include recent heart attack, stroke, or low blood pressure. Grapefruit juice interaction may intensify effects. Avoid alcohol.
Dosage and Administration
Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dose, generally taken as needed, typically 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Follow prescribed instructions precisely. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
