• Never mixing Levitra and Nitrates. This is important as this could cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure
• You should never use recreational drugs whilst using Levitra. Poppers is the main recreational drug that should be avoided as this to contains nitrates and could cause a potentially fatal effect
• If you are currently taking have recently taken alpha blocker medication to help with your blood pressure as Levitra could react against the drug and cause further risks and side effects that could seriously damage your health

• If you have angina that is unstable or have suffered from a serious heart failure then it is normally advised for you to not take this drug
• You should not use Levitra if you blood sugar levels are unstable or if they are not being monitored properly.

• You should not use Levitra if you are in need of having a kidney dialysis

This is by no means a complete list of contraindications and so if you have any worries about whether you are suitable or not for the drug then make an appointment with your GP and seek further medical advice.
