What you can expect...

Knowing what to expect can make a difference.

LEVITRA may be able to help you get and keep a quality erection, so that you can make the most of each sexual experience. You may notice improvements in both erection hardness and your ability to maintain your erection during sex.

Of course, LEVITRA alone will not give you an erection. You'll need sexual stimulation for an erection to happen. After you're finished having sex, blood flow to the penis should decrease and your erection should go away.

What not to expect from Levitra

It's important to know what LEVITRA can do for you, but it is equally important to know what it can't do:

LEVITRA is a prescription medication approved by the FDA. It's not an over-the-counter herbal or magic pill.

LEVITRA does not cure erectile dysfunction (ED).

LEVITRA does not increase libido. It's not an aphrodisiac. It won't make you want to have sex all the time.

You won't get an embarrassing instant erection. To get an erection with LEVITRA, you need to be sexually stimulated.

While LEVITRA may work for several hours, you shouldn't have an erection for longer than you are sexually stimulated.

LEVITRA does not protect a man or his partner from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Speak to your doctor about ways to guard against sexually transmitted diseases.

LEVITRA does not serve as a male form of birth control.

LEVITRA works on the body, not the mind. If you have questions about what you can expect, talk with your doctor or review the Patient Information for LEVITRA.

LEVITRA is only for men with ED. LEVITRA is not for women or children.

It's up to you

Although LEVITRA is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), it doesn't change your sex drive or your sexual behavior. How you choose to respond to a sexual opportunity is up to you.

Talk with your partner

Your partner may already know that something has changed in your physical relationship-and may even be worried that it means something has changed in the way you feel about each other.

If you're wondering how to start a conversation about how to improve your sex life, below are a few suggestions -- see whether one feels right.

"I'm not happy with my sexual performance lately. I've been thinking about seeing the doctor and asking about LEVITRA."

"Sex is not what it used to be, and I want to get back what we had."

"You are the love of my life, and after all this time, I want to be able to make love to you like we used to."

"I've been reading about this new drug LEVITRA and I would like to talk to my doctor to see if it is right for me."

Because it gives you the chance to be open and intimate, you may find that talking with your partner about your sexual life together can be very rewarding.

How to improve your experience

Here is a short list of tips to raise your odds and improve your experience with LEVITRA from the very first try:

Follow your doctor's instructions. Used as directed, LEVITRA may be taken no more than once a day.

Sexual stimulation is required for an erection.

Take your time and enjoy yourself. LEVITRA should be taken approximately 60 minutes prior to sexual activity. In clinical trials, most patients were able to begin sexual activity before that time.

LEVITRA can be taken with or without food.

If it doesn't work the first time or two - talk with your doctor - it could be a matter of adjusting your dose. LEVITRA is available in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg tablets.
