Consumer:Chloramphenicol may increase the blood levels and effects of vardenafil. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears, vision or hearing loss, chest pain or tightness, irregular heartbeat, and/or priapism (prolonged and painful erection unrelated to sexual activity), as these may be signs and symptoms of excessive vardenafil levels. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2C9 may increase the plasma concentrations of vardenafil, which is primarily metabolized by the former and secondarily by the latter. The possibility of prolonged and/or increased pharmacologic effects of vardenafil should be considered.
MANAGEMENT: Dosage adjustments may be appropriate for vardenafil whenever a CYP450 3A4 and/or 2C9 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy based on efficacy and patient tolerance. The manufacturer recommends that an initial vardenafil dosage of 2.5 to 5 mg be used in patients treated concomitantly with a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor such as erythromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, indinavir, and ritonavir. No specific dosage recommendations are available for coadministration with less potent inhibitors. Patients should be advised to promptly notify their doctor if they experience pain or tightness in the chest or jaw, irregular heartbeat, nausea, shortness of breath, visual disturbances, syncope, or prolonged erection (greater than 4 hours).
