Both generic Levitra and brand-name Levitra carry similar side effect profiles. The most common include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. These are usually mild and temporary, resolving without intervention.
Less Common Side Effects

If you experience visual impairment, seek immediate medical attention. Rarely, more serious side effects like prolonged erection (priapism) can occur. This requires immediate medical help.
Remember to inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as interactions can occur. This helps to minimize potential risks. Your doctor can also discuss potential side effects specific to your medical history.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours, sudden vision loss, hearing loss, chest pain, or any other concerning symptom. While rare, these side effects warrant prompt medical attention.
