Is Rectal Bleeding Normal After Intake Of Levitra?

I take Metformin 500mg 2 x day and Diovan 160/251 x day. My Dr. has given me trial pills of Cialis in different strengths. It works well. My flaccid penis is much bigger when I take Cialis, my prostate feels great, and urinating is great, too. However, after I take Cialis for a time, my legs start to hurt quite a bit, and my heart feels strange. Is it safe to keep taking it? I actually like Levitra better, but that causes rectal bleeding for me. Is rectal bleeding from Levitra normal?

Hi,

Rectal bleeding can occur as a rare side effect of phosphodiesterase inhibitors like Levitra.I would suggest you to avoid using this drug since excess rectal bleeding can be harmful.You can continue with Cialis since you do not have any such side effects with the drug. Blood pressure and cardiac status by taking an ECG should be monitored to rule out hypertension or disorders of heart rhythms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
