Levitra And Heart Conditions

Most erectile dysfunction medications cannot be taken by men with heart conditions, because sexual activity can place a strain on the heart, however, depending on the severity of the condition some men will still be able to take Levitra.

This will depend on two factors; the first is if the physician or specialist feels that sexual activity will not be dangerous for the heart condition. The second factor is the type of medicine that is being taken for the coronary condition. This includes medications with nitrates, anginine tablets, glytrin spray, nitrocor patches, minitran patches, Nitro-Dur patches and others. There are many medicines for heart conditions that have nitrates in them and the only way to be certain is to discuss them with the physician, because the list is very long for medications with nitrates.

Taking these medications and taking Levitra can be extremely dangerous and need to be avoided. There are some heart medications that are acceptable for use with Levitra, but will still need to be closely monitored by the physician or specialist for the safe health of the man suffering from erectile dysfunction, have a heart condition and may currently be on medication for the condition.
