LEVITRA AND OTHER SUBSTANCES
LEVITRA AND ALCOHOL
Is it safe to take Levitra with alcohol?
We all know that mixing alcohol with prescription drugs isn't the smartest thing to do, if you don't want to enjoy the side-effects of the medication while being on it. But speaking about Levitra, it has proven to be quite different from other prescription drugs used for treating erectile dysfunction – Viagra and Cialis – in what concerns its use with alcohol, because Levitra has been reported to be quite safe even when a moderate amount of alcohol has been taken. And while there's no official information or approval by the FDA, numerous reports suggest that the drug doesn't tend to manifest its side-effects nor it loses any effectiveness if taken along with alcoholic beverage.
Clinical trials
The experiment concluded a 20 mg dosage of Levitra to be taken with a moderate amount of alcohol (0.5 g/kg body weight) by healthy male volunteers. After a four hour period the test subjects where closely examined. The results of this study were quite surprising as it was found that Levitra didn't cause the alcohol to aggravate its blood pressure lowering properties. Moreover, the blood tests of the subjects involved in the study have shown that the molecular content of both Levitra and alcohol were exactly the same as if the two substances have been taken separately. Thus we can be sure that mixing alcohol with Levitra is not dangerous for your health as the drug's effectiveness is not influenced by the other substance.
What the experts say about using Levitra with alcohol?
Even that Levitra is not affected by alcohol and remains to be effective when used with it, doctors recommend not drinking much before sex. Of course, a small or moderate amount of alcohol can boost sexual desire, but drinking is known to be a widespread cause of erectile dysfunction in the first place and if you cannot control your substance intake you risk of aggravating the condition in general. Alcohol intake in general should be lowered if your erectile dysfunction is caused by blood pressure issues, diabetes, heart diseases or high cholesterol levels.
Still, if you feel that a small glass of wine would make a good compliment to your romantic evening that will be followed by intimacy, you can rest assured that Levitra will work exactly as you would expect it to. And taking in regard the fact that Levitra can also be taken with food (not on an empty stomach like Viagra), this will be a very good evening of intimacy for you.
