Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, seizures, short-term memory loss.

Sexual activity may put extra strain on your heart, especially if you have heart problems. If you have heart problems and experience any of these serious side effects while having sex, stop and seek immediate medical attention: severe dizziness, fainting, chest pain.

For males, in the very unlikely event you have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours, stop using this drug and seek immediate medical attention, or permanent problems could occur.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: penis conditions (e.g., angulation, fibrosis/scarring, Peyronie's disease), history of painful/prolonged erection (priapism), sickle cell anemia, blood system cancers (e.g., leukemia or myeloma), eye problems (e.g., retina diseases like retinitis pigmentosa), kidney disease, liver disease, bleeding disorders, active stomach ulcers, heart problems (e.g., recent heart attack or serious arrhythmia within past 6 months, coronary artery disease with unstable angina, aortic stenosis, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis), recent stroke within past 6 months, very high or low blood pressure.

Vardenafil may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation).

The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may affect the heart rhythm (see also Drug Interactions section). Before using vardenafil, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).

Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using vardenafil safely.

This drug may make you dizzy or cause vision changes. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.

To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.

Caution is advised when using this drug in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects of the drug.

This medication is not usually used in women. Therefore, it is unlikely to be used during pregnancy or breast-feeding. Consult your doctor if you have any questions about this medication.

Don't you know about Levitra?

Levitra is an FDA-approved pills for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It is one of the most widespread diseases connected with sexual dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is most common among men over the age of 65. But it is not a strict rule. Of course there are exceptions. The statistics shows that more than 50% of men over the age of 40 have problems with erection. Every year the number of men suffering erectile dysfunction, grows steadily. The problem is that men do not pay enaugh attention to their sexual health. The main characteristic of erectile dysfunction is inability to develop or keep an erection of the penis sufficient for penetration of the penis into the vagina and to have sex. As a Kamagra Jelly result a lot of new problems appear: stress, quarrels with a wife or a girl-friend, depression. Levitra is the best wayout. It is long-lasting (more then for 12 hours) and start working in 15 minutes. Levitra has fewer side effects and is safe mostly for everyone. Even those men who has problems with heart and stomach. It was prooved by many certificates of quality and research works. In comparison with other pills Levitra is the best solution of problems caused by erectile dysfunction. A lot of men who have tried it admit that Levitra start working from the first time and is easy to take without paying attention to different time-tables or special diets. It works naturaly; you will see the effect as soon as you get sexual stimulation. Your partner even will not guess that you have taken pills to obtain an erection. Try it and you will be satisfied with results. 

The reasons of it can be different: physiological or psychological. A useful and simple method to distinguish between physiological and psychological impotence is to determine whether the patient ever has an erection. If never, the problem is likely to be physiological; if sometimes (however rarely), it could be physiological or psychological. Physiologically, erection is a hydraulic mechanism based upon blood entering and being retained in the penis, and there are various ways in which this can be impeded, most of which are amenable to treatment. Psychological impotence is where erection or penetration fails due to thoughts or feelings (psychological reasons) rather than physical impossibility; this can often be helped. Erection can be influenced by:

• neurogenic disorders (spinal cord and brain injuries, nerve disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis),
• hormonal disorders (pituitary gland tumor; low level of the hormone testosterone),
• surgery (radiation therapy, surgery of the colon, prostate, bladder, or rectum may damage the nerves and blood vessels involved in erection. Prostate and bladder cancer surgery often require removing tissue and nerves surrounding a tumor, which increases the risk for impotence),
• lifestyle (alcohol and drugs, obesity, cigarette smoking).

It seemed to be a real problem which practically did not have any solution. Many men suffered because they had troubles caused by erectile dysfunction. They could not live normal life. It seemed there was no way out. Fortunately nowadays the situation has changed and all who had problems with erection can breath with relief.

A new medicine Levitra was invented by a famous Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation. It is an oral prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is also known as vardenafil (by the name of one of its structural components). This element helps to control the level of special ferment in the men's organism which is responsible for erection.

As a rule man who suffers erectile dysfunction lacks this ferment in necessary amounts. Levitra simply helps to raise the level of ferment in blood and as a result to maintain excellent erection. Men taking Levitra admit to have better erection they have ever had and now they can have sex for a longer period of time than before. Levitra is a real remedy for problems with erectile dysfunction which start working practically immediately and as long as you need. You will see the effect less than in twenty minutes after taking Levitra. First of all it depends upon the food you have eaten before. For sure food containing a lot of fat or mineral oil will decrease the speed of absorption in your stomach and you will see the result a little bit later. In any case the result will be the same - great erection. The suggestion is to take Levitra with no less than a glass of water in order to faster the process. 99,9% of men say they have achieved success from the first time which was impossible taking other medicine. Levitra also normalizes disorder of potency of patients with diabetes or those who had an operation on prostate.
