Excluded from this list are those events that are infrequent and minor, those events that may be commonly observed in the absence of drug therapy, and those events that are not reasonably associated with the drug.BODY AS A WHOLE: anaphylactic reaction (including laryngeal edema),asthenia, face edema, painAUDITORY: sudden decrease or loss of hearing, tinnitusCARDIOVASCULAR: angina pectoris, chest pain, hypertension,hypotension, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, palpitation,postural hypotension, syncope, tachycardiaDIGESTIVE: abdominal pain, abnormal liver function tests, diarrhea, drymouth, dysphagia, esophagitis, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux, GGTPincreased, vomitingMUSCULOSKELETAL: arthralgia, back pain, myalgia, neck painNERVOUS: hypertonia, hypesthesia, insomnia, paresthesia, somnolence,vertigoRESPIRATORY: dyspnea, epistaxis, pharyngitisSKIN AND APPENDAGES: photosensitivity reaction, pruritus, rash,sweatingOPHTHALMOLOGIC: abnormal vision, blurred vision, chromatopsia,changes in color vision, conjunctivitis (increased redness of the eye), dimvision, eye pain, glaucoma, photophobia, watery eyesUROGENITAL: abnormal ejaculation, priapism (including prolonged orpainful erections) LEVITRA was administered to over 4430 men (mean age 56, range 18-89 years; 81% White, 6% Black, 2% Asian, 2% Hispanic and 9% Other) during controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials worldwide. Over 2200 patients were treated for 6 months or longer, and 880 patients were treated for at least 1 year. In placebo-controlled clinical trials, the discontinuation rate due to adverse events was 3.4% for LEVITRA compared to 1.1% for placebo. When LEVITRA was taken as recommended in placebo-controlled clinical trials, the following adverse events were reported (see Table 5). Back pain was reported in 2.0% of patients treated with LEVITRA and 1.7% of patients on placebo. Placebo-controlled trials suggested a dose effect in the incidence of some adverse events (headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nausea, rhinitis) over the 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg doses of LEVITRA. Excluded from this list are those events that are infrequent and minor, those events that may be commonly observed in the absence of drug therapy, and those events that are not reasonably associated with the drug.
BODY AS A WHOLE: anaphylactic reaction (including laryngeal edema), AUDITORY: sudden decrease or loss of hearing, tinnitus DIGESTIVE: abdominal pain, abnormal liver function tests, diarrhea, dry MUSCULOSKELETAL: arthralgia, back pain, myalgia, neck pain SKIN AND APPENDAGES: photosensitivity reaction, pruritus, rash, UROGENITAL: abnormal ejaculation, priapism (including prolonged or POST-MARKETING EXPERIENCE OphthalmologicNon-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a cause of decreased vision including permanent loss of vision, has been reported rarely post-marketing in temporal association with the use of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, including LEVITRA. Most, but not all, of these patients had underlying anatomic or vascular risk factors for development of NAION, including but not necessarily limited to: low cup to disc ratio (“crowded disc”), age over 50, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia and smoking. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the use of PDE5 inhibitors, to the patient’s underlying vascular risk factors or anatomical defects, to a combination of these factors, or to other factors (see PRECAUTIONS, Information for Patients).Visual disturbances including vision loss (temporary or permanent), such as visual field defect, retinal vein occlusion, and reduced visual acuity, have also been reported rarely in post-marketing experience. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the use of LEVITRA.NeurologicSeizure, seizure recurrence and transient global amnesia have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with LEVITRA.OtologicCases of sudden decrease or loss of hearing have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with the use of PDE5 inhibitors, including LEVITRA. In some cases, medical conditions and other factors were reported that may have also played a role in the otologic adverse events. In many cases, medical follow-up information was limited. It is not possible to determine whether these reported events are related directly to the use of LEVITRA, to the patient’s underlying risk factors for hearing loss, a combination of these factors, or to other factors (see PRECAUTIONS, Information for Patients).

It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the use of LEVITRA. Seizure, seizure recurrence and transient global amnesia have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with LEVITRA.
Cases of sudden decrease or loss of hearing have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with the use of PDE5 inhibitors, including LEVITRA. OVERDOSAGE The maximum dose of LEVITRA for which human data are available is a single 120 mg dose administered to eight healthy male volunteers. The majority of these subjects experienced reversible back pain/myalgia and/or “abnormal vision.”In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be taken as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance because vardenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and is not significantly eliminated in the urine. The maximum dose of LEVITRA for which human data are available is a single 120 mg online levitra pharmacy dose administered to eight healthy male volunteers.
The majority of these subjects experienced reversible back pain/myalgia and/or “abnormal vision.” In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be taken as required. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For most patients, the recommended starting dose of LEVITRA is 10 mg, taken orally approximately 60 minutes before sexual activity. LEVITRA can be taken with or without food. Sexual stimulation is required for a response to treatment.Geriatrics: A starting dose of 5 mg LEVITRA should be considered in patients ≥65 years of age (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics in Special Populations and PRECAUTIONS).Hepatic Impairment: For patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A), no dose adjustment of LEVITRA is required. Vardenafil clearance is reduced in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B), and a starting dose of 5 mg LEVITRA is recommended. Cases of sudden decrease or loss of hearing have been reported post-marketing in temporal association with the use of PDE5 inhibitors, including LEVITRA.

The maximum dose in patients with moderate hepatic impairment should not exceed 10 mg. LEVITRA has not been evaluated in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Metabolism and ExcretionWARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS). Renal Impairment: For patients with mild (CLcr = 50-80 ml/min), moderate (CLcr = 30-50 ml/min), or severe (CLcr<30 ml/min) renal impairment, no dose adjustment is required. LEVITRA has not been evaluated in patients on renal dialysis (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Metabolism and Excretion and PRECAUTIONS). Concomitant Medications: The dosage of LEVITRA may require adjustment in patients receiving potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, atazanavir, and clarithromycin as well as in other patients receiving moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors such as erythromycin (see WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).

For alpha-blockers, caution is advised when PDE5 inhibitors, including LEVITRA, are used concomitantly with alpha-blockers because of the potential for an additive effect on blood pressure. In some patients, concomitant use of these two drug classes can lower blood pressure significantly (see PRECAUTIONS,Alpha-blockers and Drug Interactions) leading to symptomatic hypotension (e.g., fainting).
Concomitant treatment should be initiated only if the patient is stable on his alpha blocker therapy. In those patients who are stable on alpha-blocker therapy, LEVITRA should be initiated at a dose of 5 mg (2.5 mg when used concomitantly with certain CYP3A4 inhibitors - see Drug Interactions). For most patients, the recommended starting dose of LEVITRA is 10 mg, taken orally approximately 60 minutes before sexual activity. Geriatrics: A starting dose of 5 mg LEVITRA should be considered in patients ≥65 years of age (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics in Special Populations and PRECAUTIONS).
