Vilitra 10 mg, which contains vardenafil as the active ingredient, has certain contraindications—specific conditions or situations where its use is not recommended due to potential risks or interactions. Here are some contraindications for using Vilitra 10 mg:
Nitrates: Vardenafil can interact with nitrates, which are medications commonly used to treat chest pain (angina) or heart conditions such as nitroglycerin. Combining vardenafil with nitrates can cause a sudden and severe decrease in blood pressure (hypotension), which can be dangerous. Therefore, Vilitra 10 mg should not be used in individuals taking nitrates in any form (oral, sublingual, patch, or spray).
Alpha-Blockers: Alpha-blockers are medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Using vardenafil with alpha-blockers can also lead to a significant drop in blood pressure. If prescribed together, careful monitoring and dosage adjustments may be necessary.
Severe Liver Disease: Vilitra 10 Mg is metabolized in the liver. Individuals with severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh C classification) should avoid using vardenafil, as the medication's metabolism and elimination may be impaired, leading to increased drug levels in the body.
Severe Cardiovascular Disease: Those with severe cardiovascular disorders such as unstable angina, severe heart failure, or recent heart attack (within the last 6 months) should avoid using Vilitra 10 mg. Vardenafil can increase cardiovascular stress and may not be safe in these conditions.
Hypersensitivity: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to vardenafil or any of the inactive ingredients in Vilitra 10 mg should not use this medication.
History of Vision Loss: Rarely, vardenafil and other PDE5 inhibitors have been associated with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a condition that can lead to sudden vision loss. Individuals with a history of NAION or other vision problems should use Vilitra 10 mg with caution and under medical supervision.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Vilitra 10 mg is not indicated for use in women. It is not known whether vardenafil passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication.
It's crucial to discuss your medical history and current medications with your healthcare provider before starting Vilitra 10 mg or any medication for erectile dysfunction (ED). They can help determine if Vilitra 10 mg is safe and appropriate for you based on your individual health status and potential interactions with other medications.
