Levitra is a recently developed medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. It works by relaxing muscles and allowing increased blood flow into the penis, which is necessary to achieve and maintain an erection. While the initial feedback from Levitra patients was positive, physicians have come to realize that the medication can have dire consequences when used in conjunction with certain other prescribed medicines that act as nitrates or alpha blockers.
The most common side effects of using Levitra improperly or in combination with other substances is extremely low blood pressure, which can facilitate the on-set of dizziness, fainting, heart attack or stroke. Additionally, Levitra has been linked to the on-set of a rare but debilitating condition known as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or, as it is more commonly known in medical circles, NAION. NAION is a condition that leads to the loss of vision due to insufficient blood supply to the optic nerve. While NAION cases are uncommon in Levitra users, they have occurred with enough frequency to warrant an investigation by the Food and Drug Administration. Additional common side effects of Levitra include, but are not solely relegated to, the following:
- An allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face.
- Chest pain or irregular heartbeats
- Swelling of the ankles or legs
- Prolonged or severe dizziness
- Fainting
- A prolonged (lasting longer than four hours) and painful erection
- Dizziness, nausea, or angina (pain, tightness, discomfort, numbness, or tingling in the chest, arms, neck, or jaw
- Back pain
