Common Side Effects of Vardenafil

The dose of the standard oral tablet can be increased or decreased based upon effect and tolerance, with a recommended maximum frequency of once daily and maximum dosage of 20 mg. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, flushing, hypotension, rhinitis and dyspepsia. Rare, but potentially serious adverse events include vision and hearing loss, hypotension, cardiovascular events and priapism. Despite fairly extensive use, vardenafil has not been associated with clinically apparent cases of liver injury and serum enzyme elevations during therapy are rare.

The related PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil and tadalafil have been linked to isolated, rare instances of acute liver injury and jaundice. The latency to onset ranged from a few days to 3 months and the pattern of injury was usually cholestatic. Autoimmune and immunoallergic features were not observed and all cases were self-limited without residual injury or acute liver failure. Whether vardenafil can cause a similar form of acute liver injury is unknown. Likelihood score: E* (unproven but suspected rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury). Vardenafil, like the other PDE5 inhibitors, is metabolized in

This explains why vardenafil showed in clinical use a clearly longer duration of efficacy than it would be suspected by its half-life time [28].

Vardenafil may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

This regimen tadalista tablets was chosen on the basis that the 10-mg dose is generally effective in the treatment of ED, but is well below the maximum permitted dose of 20 mg [24]. Also, although the half-life of vardenafil is 4–5 h, experience indicates that it is effective for up to 12 h after administration [24]. Vardenafil was administered at a dose of 10 mg twice daily in this study. References to vardenafil induced liver injury are provided in the Overview section on PDE5 Inhibitors.

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors: The Day After2007, European UrologyCitation Excerpt :Initial reports characterised sildenafil and vardenafil as short-acting drugs for up to 4 h. On the other hand, the duration of action of tadalafil was initially reported to be 24 h. Consecutive trials, however, have shown a consistent efficacy of tadalafil for up to 36 h [36]. Clinical experience has shown that the duration of action of both sildenafil and vardenafil far exceeds the 4-h therapeutic window; initial reports on sildenafil and vardenafil have shown that both drugs may be efficacious for 8–12 h after dosing [37,38]. Until the availability of convincing data, however, the duration of sildenafil and vardenafil remains under question.
