Have COPD. Would Levitra help?
I am 64 yr.female, on oxygen 24/7. A friend said that her father, who was on oxygen, was rxd. Levitra to assist with his breathing. I am currently taking Spiriva, Albuterol Inhaler, and Albuterol Nebulyzer solution. I am also being treated for high blood pressure.
Ms. Anderson - I am not a physician but a quick review of "off-label" uses for Levitra does show a use for the medication for a condition called pulmonary hypertension ( high blood pressure in the artery that carries blood to the lungs). You should consult your pulmonologist about this in order to find out if it has any benefits for breathing or whether your friend's father was getting other benefits from it.
