How To Use Vardenafil (Levitra)

You should take a vardenafil tablet by mouth an hour before sexual activity. You can take this medication with or without food. Do not take vardenafil more than once a day. If you have certain health conditions such as heart disease, liver disease, or kidney disease, your doctor may recommend using a lower dose of vardenafil or using it less often.

Read the prescription label and patient information leaflet carefully and take vardenafil exactly as prescribed. Do not change the dose or dosing frequency without your doctor’s approval.

If you are taking the orally disintegrating tablet, read the instructions on how to remove the tablet from the blister pack. Place the tablet on your tongue and allow it to dissolve. Do not take it with water or other liquids. The regular tablets and orally disintegrating tablets cannot be substituted for one another. Make sure you take the formulation prescribed by your doctor.

Sexual activity can place a strain on your heart, especially if you have a history of heart disease. If you develop chest pain during sexual activity, call your doctor immediately and avoid further sexual activity until your doctor tells you it is okay.

Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while on vardenafil. Grapefruit juice can increase blood levels of the drug and cause more serious side effects such as flushing and low blood pressure.

Tell your doctor if you have phenylketonuria (PKU) or fructose intolerance. The rapidly disintegrating tablets of vardenafil are sweetened with aspartame and sorbitol and can cause problems in people with these conditions. 

You should know that vardenafil only works in the presence of sexual stimulation. This medication does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), so you should take precautions, such as using a condom.

Missed dose: Vardenafil is taken as needed at least one hour before sexual activity.

Storage: Store vardenafil between 15-30° C or 59-86° F (at room temperature) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in a tightly closed container. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused vardenafil should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot consume them. Do not flush vardenafil down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded vardenafil is through a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
