Start with the recommended dose of 10mg, taken approximately 60 minutes before sexual activity. If needed, your doctor may increase this to 20mg.
Factors Affecting Dosage
- Age: Older men may start with a lower dose. Liver or kidney function: Pre-existing conditions can influence dosage. Concurrent medications: Certain drugs can interact with Levitra. Individual response: Dosage adjustments are based on your individual response to the medication.
Levitra’s effectiveness depends on several factors, including your overall health and the cause of erectile dysfunction. It helps improve blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
Maximizing Levitra’s Efficacy
Follow your doctor’s instructions: This is paramount. Avoid grapefruit juice: It can interfere with Levitra’s metabolism. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Exercise, balanced diet, and stress management contribute to improved sexual function. Discuss potential side effects with your doctor: Headache, flushing, and nasal congestion are common, but usually mild.
Dosage Adjustments
Do not exceed the maximum recommended dose of 20mg without consulting your physician. Your doctor will adjust the dosage based on your response and individual needs. Regular monitoring and open communication with your doctor are key to achieving the best results.
Levitra and Alcohol
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Levitra, as this can impair its effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects.
