    How many Levitra can you take?

    A large number of men will suffer from erectile dysfunction at some point in their life (given that the conditions is extremely common), and when they do, they may want to consider effective medications. Options include household brand Viagra, “the weekend pill” Cialis (with a 36 hour effectiveness window), and the very well-tolerated Levitra (an excellent option if you’ve had side effects with any of the other options). And if you are planning to take Levitra then you may have some questions.

    Key Takeaways

    Maximum daily dose of Levitra is 20mg

    Levitra comes in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg tablets, and you should not exceed 20mg per day. If you're prescribed a lower dose and it isn't effective, consult your prescriber rather than taking more.

    You can take Levitra daily, but only once per day

    It's safe to take Levitra daily as long as you stick to one dose per 24 hours, even if you're using the lower-strength tablets. If a higher dose is needed, it's best to be prescribed the 20mg version.

    Consult your doctor if unsure about dosage

    If you're unsure whether you're using Levitra correctly, or if you're not achieving the desired results, speak with your prescriber or pharmacist for proper guidance on dosage.

    How many Levitra can you take?

    Levitra is available in strengths of 5mg, 10mg and 20mg per tablet. The maximum daily dosage is 20mg. So if you have the 20mg strength tablet, you should only take a maximum of one tablet per dose. However, if you have the 5mg or 10mg strength tablets and have tried one tablet and not had the desired result then you should speak to your prescriber.

    Can I Take Levitra Everyday?

    Given that the maximum daily dose of Levitra is 20mg, you can take one or two of the lower strength tablets per dose without exceeding the maximum. It’s not recommended to do this frequently though, as if you’re finding that a 20mg dose is required to assist with your erectile dysfunction then you should look to be prescribed the 20mg strength next time (this is more practical and also more cost-effective).

    Whichever strength of Levitra you are on currently, it’s important that you don’t take more than one dose per day. So if you’ve had one 10mg tablet and find the results are not quite what you’d hoped, then you should wait at least 24 hours before having another dose. You should not simply take an additional tablet after a few hours, for example.

    If you have any doubts about whether or not you are taking your medicines currently then you should seek advice from your pharmacist or prescriber.
