If your Doctor says so, otherwise NO - read some of the warnings below

Do not take vardenafil if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. This includes nitroglycerin (Nitrostat, Nitrolingual, Nitro-Dur, Nitro-Bid, and others), isosorbide dinitrate (Dilatrate-SR, Isordil, Sorbitrate), and isosorbide mononitrate (Imdur, ISMO, Monoket). Nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers"). Taking vardenafil with a nitrate medicine can cause a serious decrease in blood pressure, leading to fainting, stroke, or heart attack.

A small number of patients have had a sudden loss of eyesight after taking vardenafil. This type of vision loss is caused by decreased blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye. It is not clear whether vardenafil is the actual cause of such vision loss. Sudden vision loss with vardenafil use has occurred most often in people with heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye problems, and in those who smoke or are over 50 years old.

Before taking vardenafil, tell your doctor if you have:
-heart disease or heart rhythm problems;
-a recent history (in the past 6 months) of a heart attack, -angina (chest pain), or congestive heart failure;
-a history of stroke or blood clots;
-a personal or family history of "Long QT syndrome";
-high or low blood pressure;
-liver disease;
-kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis);
-a blood cell disorder such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia;
-a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia;
-a stomach ulcer;
retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited condition of the eye);
-a physical deformity of the penis (such as Peyronie's disease); or
-if you have been told you should not have sexual intercourse for health reasons.

If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to use vardenafil or you may need a dosage adjustment or special tests during treatment.

Answer 2

A man with diabetes and a history of heart disease has a lot of risk factors and should be consulting his doctor. I wouldn't recommend looking for advice from anonymous people online who can't be held accountable if something were to go wrong.

Answer 3

NO, it seriously interacts with heart meds. And will affect your hearth rhythm. Please ask a doctor before use

Answer 4

Probably not. I don't think Levitra is good for anybody, really... because it's just another drug. But you should really ask your doctor to be sure.

Answer 5
