Common Use

Vitria is a highly effective medication for treating erectile dysfunction. It contains Vardenafil HCl, which is quickly absorbed into the vascular system, ensuring a faster effect that lasts up to 12 hours. This makes Vitria a suitable option for patients who have difficulty swallowing, as it dissolves easily. Unlike some other medications, its effectiveness is not impacted by high-fat foods or liquids. Vardenafil, the active ingredient, is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor that supports blood flow to the penis. However, the medication requires sexual stimulation to work.

Dosage and Direction

Each strip of Vitria contains 10 mg of Vardenafil. It is recommended to take the medication 15-30 minutes before sexual activity for optimal results.

Precautions

Before using Vitria, inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

• Kidney or liver problems
• A bleeding disorder or stomach ulcer
• An inherited retinal disorder like retinitis pigmentosa
• An allergic reaction to Vardenafil or any other medications
• Penile deformities such as angulation or Peyronie's disease
• Conditions that may lead to priapism, such as sickle-cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia

Contraindications

Vitria should not be used in the following cases:

• Hypersensitivity to its ingredients
• Patients taking organic nitrates
• Individuals under 16 years old
• Those using HIV protease inhibitors like indinavir or ritonavir

Possible Side Effects

While rare, some side effects of Vitria may include:

• Headache
• Muscle or joint pain
• Upset stomach
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight
• High or low blood pressure

If you experience priapism (an erection lasting more than four hours), seek immediate medical attention to avoid permanent damage to the penis.

Drug Interactions

Vitria may interact with other medications, including:

• Erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, indinavir, and ritonavir, which inhibit its metabolism
• Organic nitrates, which may worsen chest pain by increasing heart rate and lowering blood pressure
• Alpha-blockers like terazosin, tamsulosin, and prazosin, which may enhance blood pressure-lowering effects

Missed Dose

Vitria is taken as needed. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Overdose

In case of a suspected overdose, seek urgent medical attention immediately.

Storage

Store Vitria at room temperature in a dry, tight container, away from children and pets. Discard any unused medication after the expiration date.
