Amazing

I was a little nervous about trying this out since they are new and don't have a lot of reviews but I was very happy with the service. Very fast shipping and the help team was responsive and answered my questions.

Frequently asked questions about Levitra®

What is Hims?

Hims connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers online via text, audio, or video. You can request an online consultation and get prescription treatments 100% online.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can examine you as needed, ask questions about your symptoms, go through your health history, and determine if an online vardenafil prescription is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person, hands-on examination.

Once you talk to a doctor about ED and they prescribe medication online, you’ll have the option to send the Levitra® prescription to a local pharmacy or you can get your medication delivered within one to two business days for free.

Does Hims offer genuine Levitra®?

Hims offers branded Levitra® and its generic, vardenafil, to treat ED. They are both Health Canada approved to treat ED.

What is Levitra® and how does it work?

Levitra® is the brand name for the drug vardenafil. Levitra® (vardenafil) is a prescription medication belonging to the family of drugs known as phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.

It is used to treat erectile dysfunction, a condition where men find it difficult to get or maintain an erection.

Medication can help patients by relaxing the muscles of blood vessels in specific areas of the body (usually the penis), allowing for increased blood flow.

How do you take Levitra®?

Levitra® is taken orally, between 25-60 minutes before sexual activity. Levitra® lasts 8-10 hours and should not be taken more than once per day. Consult with a doctor to find out what dosage will work best for you.

How does Levitra® work?

Levitra® helps increase blood flow to the penis in order to achieve and maintain an erection.

What is the difference between Levitra®, Viagra®, and Cialis®?

The difference between Levitra®, Cialis®, Viagra® and other medications for erectile dysfunction is how quickly it takes effect and how long it lasts. Viagra® works for three to five hours, and a typical dose of Cialis® lasts 24 to 36 hours.

Is Levitra® available over the counter?

Levitra® in Canada is only available by prescription. Talk to your doctor to find out if it might be right for you.

Can I get a prescription for Levitra® online in Canada?

Yes, Levitra® is one of several options you can select during your online visit. Hims also offers other brand name and generic medications. Once your prescription is approved by a doctor we’ll deliver your medication in discreet packaging for free.

If you’re unsure which is right for you, your Hims doctor can help you decide.

Do I need to have a prescription for Levitra® in Canada?

Yes, you need to have a prescription for Levitra®. This means that you won’t be able to purchase it over the counter at a drugstore. Levitra® is widely prescribed and used in Canada as an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. To get a prescription, all you have to do is discuss your situation with a licensed healthcare provider who can determine if it is an appropriate medication for you.

The diagnosis of erectile dysfunction may require an in-person visit with your doctor. You may also be able to get your prescription through an online healthcare provider, like Hims. To get started, create an account and complete an online visit. Since Hims uses an asynchronous telemedicine model, there’s no need to set up a time to speak with a healthcare provider. Instead, the visit can be completed on your own time and at your own pace.

Your online visit will then be reviewed by a doctor within 24 hours, and if they determine that Levitra® is safe for you to use, they’ll write your prescription.

Does Levitra® expire?

Yes. Always check the expiration date on your prescription before taking it.

Does Levitra® make you last longer?

No. Levitra® is not a treatment for premature ejaculation, so it usually won’t impact the amount of time you can have sex before you ejaculate.

Does Levitra® increase sex drive?

Levitra® won’t increase your libido or help you feel sexually aroused when you otherwise wouldn’t be interested in sex. Levitra® simply makes it easier to get an erection when you’re already sexually aroused.

Does Levitra® make you bigger?

Levitra® does not increase your size. By relaxing the blood vessels around the penis, Levitra® and other PDE5 inhibitors may help you get and maintain an erection, but this process will do nothing for your size.

Having more blood flowing in there might make it feel bigger. More blood flowing to the penis can give you a firmer erection that may alter the sexual experience for you and your partner.

What are the uses for Levitra®?

Erectile dysfunction is a condition that can be treated by medication. If a doctor on Hims deems it necessary, a prescription for Levitra® can be provided.

How do you use Levitra®?

If you’ve been given a Levitra® prescription online, it’ll only be available as either a tablet to be swallowed or as a disintegrating tablet to be dissolved orally.

Dosage and frequency of use will depend on your specific needs, and the recommendations of the doctor. This medication can be taken with or without food.

Never exceed your recommended dosage, as it could increase your risk of adverse side effects.

What are the side effects and risks of Levitra®?

The most common side effects caused by Levitra® include:

  • Sneezing
  • Stuffy nose
  • Warmth or redness in the face, neck, arms or upper chest.

Some less common side effects also include:

  • Diarrhea

  • Back or neck pain
  • Changes in vision
  • Burning, itching or tingling sensations
  • Fever
  • Heartburn
  • Sore throat or cough
  • Sore stomach or tender stomach area
  • Abnormal ejaculation

Some side effects of a vardenafil prescription may be a sign that you need additional medical attention. Talk to a doctor immediately if you start to experience:

  • Chest pain, tightness or heaviness
  • Blindness or loss of vision
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Confusion
  • Severe dizziness or headache
  • Irregular or racing heartbeat
  • Sweating or chills
  • Hives or skin rash
  • Unusual fatigue, faintness or light-headedness
  • Swelling in the eyes or eye pain
  • Severe nausea or vomiting
  • Priapism (for which patients are typically directed to present to the ER)

Who should not take Levitra®?

Levitra® isn’t for everyone. You should not take Levitra® if any of the following conditions apply to you:

  • You have previously experienced an allergic reaction to Levitra® or any other medicines in the past
  • You are taking medicines called nitrates for chest pain
  • You are currently taking take any guanylate cyclase stimulators, like riociguat (adempas)
