Levitra - a step ahead of Viagra

In reality, most people need 50mg or 100mg dosage of Viagra tablets for better results. 25mg Viagra does not seem to work for most. Whereas, Levitra comes in considerably dosage forms of 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, with 10mg dose working effectively for most people.

Levitra is also a step ahead of Viagra as lesser dosage means lesser probability of side effects. In this sense, you might experience fewer side effects with Levitra and you can wipe out the chances of experiencing the nasty side effects of Viagra.

Can Viagra work for women?

Sex sells. I suppose this is why the results of a study entitled “Sildenafil Treatment of Women with Antidepressant Associated Sexual Dysfunction” were reported with great enthusiasm around the world after they were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Jama). Yet the study is interesting for a number of reasons.

Sildenafil was originally sold as Viagra. Despite its success in treating men, there has been no equivalent drug for women. In the UK, there is only one licensed drug, Intrinsa, which is used in specific circumstances for female libido problems after gynaecological surgery.

Americans’ drug of choice

Americans’ drug of choice: anything that can be prescribed.

If it’s not restless legs, erectile dysfunction or an overactive bladder, then there must be something else wrong with us. No matter what your ailment is, the drug makers have a pill to peddle.

Just ask your doctor if Cure-it-All is right for you, as every ad likes to say. He or she surely will prescribe something to fix the problem, even if the side effects often sound a lot worse.

“America has become the world’s greatest medicine show,” author Melody Petersen writes in the introduction to her new book, Our Daily Meds, published by Sarah Crichton Books.

Levitra Association with Temporary Amnesia Noted

Levitra, an erectile dysfunction (ED) drug made by Bayer AG is undergoing its third labeling change since 2005. This time, the precautions section of the Levitra label will be changed to note its possible association with transient global amnesia, or TGA.

TGA is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that can’t be attributed to a more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy, transient ischemic attack, stroke or head injury. During an episode of transient global amnesia, recall of recent events simply vanishes, so a victim is unable to remember where they are or how they got there. They may also draw a blank when asked to remember things that happened a day, a month or even a year ago.

Brief Amnesia After Taking Levitra?

Erectile Dysfunction Drug Levitra to Get Label Change Noting Rare Reports of Transient Global Amnesia.

The erectile dysfunction drug Levitra is getting a label change noting rare reports of transient global amnesia in men taking the drug.

Transient global amnesia, or TGA, is a brief bout of amnesia, not lasting longer than a day, without causing other problems.

Levitra’s label change isn’t a warning or a precaution, and it doesn’t mean that the drug causes memory problems. The reported cases of transient global amnesia in men taking Levitra may have been spurred by something else, even by sex.
