Drug Uses

Levitra helps men to have stronger erections during sexual activities. It dilates the blood vessels of the penis thereby helping more blood to flow into it. This leads to a stronger erection.

Usage

You may choose to take Levitra with a meal or without one.

The drug works best when taken 30 to 60 minutes before initiating sexual activity.

The dosage should not increase more than once in a day (24 hours).

Missed Dose

Since it is an erectile dysfunction drug, it must only be used when required. So, there are no chances of a missed dose since it is not taken according to a regular dosage schedule.
Never take two doses at one time.

Storage

Store Levitra at room temperature.

Overdose

An overdose of the drug may have adverse effects that require immediate medical attention. Contact the nearest emergency poison control center immediately if you notice effects like chest pain, back pain, dizziness and irregular heartbeat and abnormal vision.
