It is not advisable to take Vilitra, which contains vardenafil, with grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice can interfere with how vardenafil is processed in the body by inhibiting the enzyme CYP3A4, which plays a key role in metabolizing many medications, including Vilitra. When this enzyme is blocked, the levels of vardenafil in your bloodstream can rise significantly, increasing the risk of adverse effects.
Elevated vardenafil levels may lead to stronger or more frequent side effects such as headache, flushing, dizziness, nausea, low blood pressure, or visual disturbances. In some cases, this interaction may also cause more serious complications, especially in individuals with heart problems or those taking medications that affect blood pressure or heart rhythm.
To avoid these risks, it is best to take VILITRA with water and avoid grapefruit and its juice altogether while using the medication. Additionally, consult your healthcare provider before starting Vilitra, especially if you consume grapefruit products regularly or take other medications that may interact with vardenafil. Following medical advice ensures the medication is both effective and safe for your specific health needs.
