Vilitra 60 mg contains vardenafil as its active ingredient and is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Like other medications, Vilitra 60 mg can interact with certain drugs, potentially leading to adverse effects or reduced effectiveness. It’s essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Here are some medications that may interact with Vilitra 60 mg:
Nitrates: Concurrent use of Vilitra 60 mg with nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or isosorbide mononitrate, is contraindicated. Combining vardenafil with nitrates can lead to a sudden and significant drop in blood pressure, which can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
Alpha-Blockers: Alpha-blockers, used to treat conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and high blood pressure, can interact with vardenafil, leading to a drop in blood pressure. Combining Vilitra 60 Mg with alpha-blockers may increase the risk of hypotension (low blood pressure) and related symptoms, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting.
Other Antihypertensive Medications: Certain antihypertensive medications, such as calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers, may interact with Vilitra 60 mg, leading to additive effects on blood pressure. Close monitoring is necessary when combining vardenafil with other antihypertensive drugs to prevent excessive hypotension.
Protease Inhibitors: Protease inhibitors, used to treat HIV/AIDS and other viral infections, can inhibit the metabolism of vardenafil, leading to increased vardenafil blood levels and a higher risk of adverse effects. Dosage adjustments may be necessary when combining Vilitra 60 mg with protease inhibitors.
Other PDE5 Inhibitors: Concurrent use of Vilitra 60 mg with other medications containing phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, such as sildenafil or tadalafil, is not recommended due to the potential for additive effects and increased risk of adverse reactions.
Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit juice can inhibit the metabolism of vardenafil, leading to increased vardenafil blood levels and a higher risk of adverse effects. It’s advisable to avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking Vilitra 60 mg.
These are not exhaustive lists of potential interactions. Always consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice and guidance on potential interactions between Vilitra 60 mg and other medications you are taking.
