Understanding Drug Interactions:
Keeping Track of Your Medications:
Changing Medications:
Specific Interactions:
Nitrates and "Poppers": Vardenafil can cause a severe drop in blood pressure when used with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide) or recreational drugs like "poppers" containing amyl or butyl nitrite. This can lead to dizziness, fainting, and rarely heart attack or stroke.
Alpha Blockers: If you are taking an alpha blocker (e.g., doxazosin, tamsulosin) for conditions like enlarged prostate or high blood pressure, combining it with Vardenafil may cause excessively low blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting. Your doctor may initiate vardenafil at a lower dose to reduce this risk.
Other Medications: Certain drugs can affect how Vardenafil is metabolized in the body, potentially altering its effectiveness. Examples include azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin, erythromycin), and HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., indinavir, ritonavir).
Avoid combination with Similar Medications:
Certain herbal products can interact with vardenafil, which may affect how the product is processed. Examples includebiguanides (e.g., valsartan, valsartan Forte), fenoldopam (e.g., valsartan Benckiser), and some medicines that act as angiotensin receptor blockers (e.g., losartan, valsartan Calcium).
Levitra and Staxyn areAlpha Blockers. They work by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in the smooth muscle cells of the penis. This allows more blood to flow into the penis when you get sexually excited and causing an erection. Levitra and Staxyn are also used to treat high blood pressure.
Taking multiple medicines with vardenafil: Do not take vardenafil multiple times without consulting your doctor.
Certain medicines can affect how vardenafil works in the body, e.g., alpha blockers (e.g., tamsulosin), beta blockers (e.g., doxazosin), HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., indinavir, ritonavir), and certain other medicines.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resuppOND get your next dose.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missing one.
Vardenafil and Staxyn canffectally affect the amount of blood that is drawn into the penis during sexual activity. Scientists and medical professionals often determine the amount of blood that is actually absorbed from the pills when used with beta-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) or alpha-blockers (e.g., vardenafil). This is often based on how the medications work and how effective their replacement is.
Specifically, scientists and medical professionals prescribe vardenafil along with, a medicine that increases the amount of blood that is absorbed from a medicine.
