Levitra Plus combines vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, with another active ingredient, often a drug for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This dual-action approach addresses both erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary symptoms associated with BPH. The precise formulation varies depending on the specific product; always check the packaging.
Understanding Vardenafil
Vardenafil relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow to the penis. This facilitates achieving and maintaining an erection. It’s important to note that sexual stimulation is still required for vardenafil to be effective.
The Added Ingredient: Addressing BPH
The second active component in Levitra Plus tackles BPH symptoms. Common additions include alpha-blockers, which relax muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, relieving urinary issues such as frequent urination and weak urine stream. Consult a doctor to determine if this combined approach is appropriate for you.
Dosage and Administration
Dosage instructions vary significantly based on the specific medication within the “Levitra Plus” designation. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage. Never exceed the recommended amount. Take the medication as directed, usually orally with or without food. The frequency of use also depends on the specific prescription.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects can include headaches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. More serious, though rare, side effects exist. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden vision loss, prolonged erection (priapism), or chest pain. A full list of potential side effects is available in the product leaflet.
Precautions and Interactions
Levitra Plus may interact with other medications, particularly nitrates (used to treat angina). Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. If you have heart conditions, liver disease, or kidney disease, discuss these with your physician before starting Levitra Plus.
Seeking Professional Advice
This information is for educational purposes only and does not substitute for professional medical advice. Consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before using Levitra Plus or any medication for ED or BPH. They can assess your individual health situation and determine the most suitable treatment plan. Remember, self-medicating can be risky.
