Drugs sold in Japan are approved by the government and have a certain level of safety guaranteed.

However, any drug has a risk of side effects, and depending on the individual's constitution, it may cause a variety of ailments.

The ED drug Levitra also carries a risk of side effects, but what specific symptoms are seen?

In addition, here are some points to keep in mind to reduce side effects and health hazards.

Side Effects of Levitra

Levitra is officially approved and safe in Japan.

However, the risk of side effects is not entirely eliminated, and various symptoms may appear depending on the individual's constitution and underlying disease.

Here are some of the most common side effects of Levitra.

Common Side Effects

The most common side effects of taking Levitra include the following symptoms

According to clinical trial data, hot flashes and headaches are seen in about 10% patients, and in some cases multiple symptoms occur simultaneously.

However, these side effects are only temporary, and most symptoms will naturally improve over time.

  • a glow
  • headache
  • nasal congestion
  • indigestion

 

rare side effect

Although less likely to occur than hot flashes and headaches, rare side effects include the following symptoms

Visual changes" are often symptoms that make the entire field of vision appear blurred or bluish.

Clinical trial data indicate that the probability of these side effects appearing is about 1%.

  • Visual changes
  • pulsation
  • dizziness

 

Serious side effects (very rare)

While all of the side effects described above are mild and improve over time in most cases, there are some side effects that can cause severe health problems.

For example, with persistent erections (priapism), erections do not cease after several hours of taking Levitra and are painful.

If left untreated, this can severely damage penile tissue and increase the likelihood of affecting reproductive function, requiring urgent treatment.

  • Persistent erectile dysfunction (priapism)
  • Rapid loss of vision or hearing

How Levitra Side Effects Occur

Why do side effects occur despite the fact that Levitra is officially approved and proven safe in Japan?

To understand this, we need to understand the basic mechanics of erection and how Levitra works.

To begin with, an erection is a phenomenon that occurs when more blood flows into the penile corpus cavernosum.

In other words, ED occurs when blood flow to the corpus cavernosum is reduced for some reason.

Levitra is a therapeutic drug that improves blood flow to the penis by dilating blood vessels, thereby supporting erections, but its vasodilating effect may affect more than just the penis.

Rapid resultant dilation leads to fluctuations in blood pressure, which in turn causes a variety of side effects such as headaches, hot flashes, palpitations, and dizziness.

Key points to prevent side effects of Levitra

Side effects are largely a function of an individual's constitution and are difficult to prevent completely.

However, it may be possible to reduce the risk of side effects by paying attention to a minimum number of points.

Here are three points to keep in mind.

Obtain a prescription from a reputable medical institution.

Levitra is sold inexpensively on overseas mail-order websites, and can also be purchased in the form of personal importation via the Internet.

However, many of the Levitra drugs sold on mail-order sites are counterfeit or inferior, and taking these drugs may not be effective enough or may pose a risk of serious health problems.

Therefore, it is important to have a medical institution prescribe an authentic product instead of purchasing it from a mail-order site.

If you are seeing a medical professional, you can rest assured that if side effects do occur, they can be dealt with promptly.

Incidentally, Men's Pride Clinic offers online treatment for those who are too far away to come to the clinic or who feel uncomfortable with face-to-face treatment, allowing them to receive Levitra prescription from the comfort of their home.

Follow the correct dosing instructions.

Not only Levitra, but any medication that is not taken correctly will not be fully effective and may cause serious side effects.

Observe the following points to ensure correct dosing.

[Drinking.

Drink with water or lukewarm water

[Timing of dosing

1 hour before sexual intercourse (during insertion)

Dosage and interval between doses

Once a day (at least 24 hours apart)

Avoid concomitant use of certain drugs and foodstuffs

If you are taking medication to treat an underlying medical condition or taking supplements on a daily basis, consult your doctor in advance to confirm that they can be used in combination.

In addition to drugs, certain foods and drinks may also interfere with the effects of Levitra or pose health risks.

Of particular note is grapefruit.

Grapefruit contains substances that inhibit the action of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which may make the effects of Levitra too strong if consumed before or after taking it.

Fatty drinks such as milk and yogurt can also create a fatty film on the intestinal wall and inhibit the absorption of active ingredients.

What to do if you experience side effects from Levitra

Even when we speak of side effects, the occurrence and severity of symptoms vary from person to person, and it is often difficult to determine whether a medical institution should be consulted.

Therefore, we will also discuss how to deal with side effects in the event that they do occur, as well as guidelines for when you should seek medical attention.

For mild side effects

In most cases, mild side effects such as headaches, hot flashes, and nasal congestion are temporary and subside over time.

Therefore, the appearance of these symptoms does not require immediate medical attention.

If symptoms are painful, keep hydrated, rest, and monitor the patient.

Guidelines for consulting a physician

If you experience any of the following symptoms after taking Levitra, you should immediately seek medical attention and consult a physician because of the possibility of serious side effects.

  • If the erection lasts for several hours
  • If you experience any visual or auditory abnormalities
  • If chest pain or palpitations are severe
  • skin condition
  • dyspnea
  • Large fluctuations in blood pressure
  • Persistent headache and nausea

 

In particular, if erections do not subside after taking Levitra, there is a possibility of persistent erections (priapism), which can cause serious damage to reproductive function if treatment is delayed.

In addition, although the symptoms themselves, such as headache and nausea, are mild, if side effects appear each time Levitra is taken or persist for an extended period of time, it is possible that the drug is not suited to your constitution, and you should consult a physician.

Comparison of side effects of Levitra and other ED drugs

There are many other ED drugs besides Levitra, and the symptoms and severity of side effects vary.

When comparing the typical ED drugs Levitra, Viagra, and Cialis, Cialis has the fewest side effects.

However, while Levitra and Viagra are fast-acting and side effects diminish as the effects of the drugs wear off, Syriac has a longer duration of action and side effects tend to last longer.
