Vilitra is a brand name for a generic version of vardenafil, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It works similarly to medications like Viagra and Cialis by enhancing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. If you have kidney problems (whether mild, moderate, or severe), you need to be cautious when considering medications like Vilitra, which contain vardenafil. How Kidney Problems Affect the Use of Vilitra: Vardenafil is metabolized by the liver, but it is excreted through the kidneys. If you have kidney issues, the drug could stay in your system longer, potentially increasing the risk of side effects or adverse reactions. When to Avoid or Use Vilitra Cautiously with Kidney Problems: Mild Kidney Impairment: In cases of mild kidney problems, a reduced dose of Vilitra may be recommended. This means you might be prescribed a lower dosage to reduce the risk of side effects. Monitoring: Close monitoring by your doctor is essential to adjust dosage if needed. Moderate to Severe Kidney Impairment: If you have moderate to severe kidney disease, the use of Vilitra may be not recommended or should be done with extreme caution. In these cases, the drug may build up in your system, potentially causing harmful effects, such as low blood pressure, dizziness, or prolonged erections. Dialysis Patients: For patients on dialysis, Vilitra (and other PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil or tadalafil) may need to be avoided or used with a very careful assessment from your healthcare provider. Vardenafil can accumulate in the bloodstream in people with severe kidney problems, making it more likely to cause side effects.
