Take Vardenafil 40 mg tablets as directed by your doctor. The usual starting dose is 10 mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor may increase this to 20 mg or decrease it to 5 mg, depending on your response and any side effects.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Dosage: The 40 mg tablet is typically only prescribed if lower doses prove ineffective. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage. Timing: Take the tablet approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. Absorption time can vary, so consult your physician for optimal timing based on your individual needs. Frequency: The frequency of use is determined by your doctor and should not exceed once daily. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
Important Considerations:
- Food and Alcohol: Fatty meals may delay absorption. Limit alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of side effects. Other Medications: Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as interactions may occur. Health Conditions: Vardenafil may not be suitable for everyone. Discuss your medical history, particularly any heart conditions, liver or kidney problems, or eye problems, with your doctor before taking this medication. Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a prolonged or painful erection (priapism).
