Can You Become Dependent on Levitra?
The short answer to this question is no.
Levitra® (
vardenafil HCL) will not cause a man to become dependent on the medication. This is because Levitra is not an addicting or habit-forming medication. The long answer requires an understanding of the causes of
impotence as well as how Levitra works.
Understanding Impotence and Levitra
There are many causes of impotence, including medical conditions (such as
high blood pressure or
diabetes) and psychological issues. If a person's impotence is due to a medical condition, it is important to understand that Levitra will not improve the condition that is causing the impotence (such as high
blood pressure). In this case, it is likely that a man will continue to need to use Levitra. This does not mean he is dependent on Levitra; it simply means that he is continuing to have a problem with impotence.
Levitra does not cause any long-term changes in sexual function. It works temporarily to increase blood flow to the penis. This will not affect a man's ability to perform sexually in the future. In fact, if his impotence is related to performance
anxiety about sexual activity, it is possible that Levitra might give him the confidence to overcome his problems with impotence.
Final Thoughts on a Possible Levitra Addiction
Men do not need to worry about becoming dependent upon Levitra. Levitra is not addicting and does not cause long-term changes in sexual function. While a man may continue to need Levitra to achieve an erection, this does not mean he is addicted. It simply means that he still has problems with impotence.
