Vilitra 60 contains vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction. Before using it, doctors don’t usually require a long list of “mandatory” tests for everyone—but they do assess heart risk and blood pressure because sexual activity and this medication both affect the cardiovascular system. Here’s what is typically checked before prescribing it safely: 1. Heart and blood vessel evaluation (most important) Because erectile dysfunction drugs can strain the heart in susceptible people: Resting blood pressure (BP) Pulse / heart rate ECG (electrocardiogram) if: You are over ~40–50 years old, or You have chest pain, diabetes, smoking history, or family Vilitra 60 disease Sometimes a treadmill stress test if cardiac risk is unclear 2. Basic blood tests These help identify underlying causes and safety issues: Blood sugar (fasting glucose / HbA1c) ? diabetes is a common cause of ED Lipid profile (cholesterol) ? vascular health check Kidney function (creatinine, urea) Liver function tests (LFTs) ? important because vardenafil is metabolized in the liver 3. Hormonal tests (only if indicated) Not always needed, but considered if symptoms suggest hormonal issues: Total testosterone (morning sample) Sometimes prolactin and thyroid function (TSH) 4. Medication safety review (very important) Your doctor will specifically check if you are taking: Nitrates (like nitroglycerin/isosorbide) ? dangerous combination (can cause severe BP drop) Certain alpha-blockers or strong antifungals/antibiotics 5. General health assessment Smoking, alcohol use Obesity, physical activity level Psychological stress/anxiety (can also cause ED) Important point For many healthy younger men, no extensive testing is needed beyond BP and basic medical screening before starting a PDE5 inhibitor—but higher doses like Vilitra 60 mg usually require more caution. If you want, tell me your age and whether you have diabetes, BP issues, or any medications—you’ll get a more personalized “what tests you actually need
