Levitra or vardenafil, the erectile dysfunction drug and PDE5 inhibitor has been the subject of recent tests regarding the use of the medicine to treat hypertension concurrently with Levitra. In the placebo controlled medical test the men who were given Levitra had a more than eighty percent erectile function success when also using other anti hypertension medicines for high blood pressure.
The study's writer said that the research shows that Levitra has a high tolerance when used alongside blood pressure medicines and in men who had not used PDE5 inhibitors before.
Men who suffer from hypertension are at risk of suffering from erectile dysfunction and hypertension is a very common illness in the the western world. Diabetes and inflated levels of cholesterol also put men in a high risk bracket of getting erectile dysfunction. The problem is compounded by the fact that some of the remedies and treatments for high blood pressure actually can create erectile dysfunction themselves. Diuretics and beta blockers are two examples.
This study will be useful good for doctors who have patients taking medicines for high blood pressure and who are concerned about the sexual function effects of the medication as now they will feel confident about prescribing Levitra along side the other medicines.
Levitra alongside Viagra, Cialis and Uprima is one of the most popular erectile dysfunction drugs on the market and was developed as an impotence medicine by the drug companies Bayer and GSK.
