Vardenafil 10mg, while generally well-tolerated, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Less common side effects include back pain, muscle aches, and dizziness. Rarely, more serious side effects like vision changes (including blue-tinged vision or sudden vision loss) or hearing loss may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these serious side effects.
Precautions and Interactions
Before taking Vardenafil 10mg, inform your doctor about all your current medications, including nitrates (used to treat angina), alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure), and other medications for erectile dysfunction. Combining Vardenafil with these drugs can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Also, discuss any pre-existing heart conditions, liver or kidney problems, or eye problems. Avoid alcohol consumption before or during Vardenafil use, as it can intensify side effects. Remember, Vardenafil is not a cure for erectile dysfunction and works only when sexual stimulation is present. The recommended dose is 10mg, taken as needed, typically 25-60 minutes before sexual activity. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult your doctor for personalized advice and dosage adjustments.
Specific Considerations
Patients with severe heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure or low blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack, or certain types of eye problems should avoid taking Vardenafil. If you have a history of priapism (a prolonged and painful erection), discuss this with your doctor before starting treatment. The medication may interact negatively with some grapefruit products; consult your doctor regarding this.
