Vardenafil relaxes muscles within the penis. This allows increased blood flow into the penis which is necessary to achieve and maintain an erection. Vardenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence).
Vardenafil is usually taken when needed. Generally, it is taken about 1 hour before sexual activity. The medication can help achieve an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. An erection will not occur just by taking a pill. Follow your doctor's instructions.
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking vardenafil and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately: * an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); * chest pain or an irregular heartbeats; * swelling of the ankles or legs; * shortness of breath; * prolonged or severe dizziness; * fainting; * a prolonged (lasting longer than 4 hours) or painful erection; * dizziness, nausea, or angina (pain, tightness, discomfort, numbness, or tingling in the chest, arms, neck, or jaw); or * back pain.
Before taking vardenafil, tell your doctor if you * currently have or have ever had a heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeats, angina (chest pain), or congestive heart failure; * have high or low blood pressure; * have a personal or family history of a rare heart condition known as prolongation of the QT interval (long QT syndrome); * have liver problems; * have kidney problems; * have ever had blood problems, including sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia; * have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder; * have a stomach ulcer; * a family history of degenerative eye disease (e.g., retinitis pigmentosa); or * have a physical deformity of the penis such as Peyronie's disease.
