As more and more men are using medication to correct erectile dysfunction (ED), more side-effects associated with the use of the drugs are coming to light. Doctors in Nashville are investigating one such case: a singer who took vardenafil (Levitra) at night and was hoarse in the morning. They're reporting a case of a vocal fold hemorrhage associated with the casual use of vardenafil or Levitra who reported the case at the Triological Society's Southern Section meeting here.

Doctors reported that the 31-year-old professional singer with reluctance told them he took a single tablet of the erectile dysfunction drug vardenafil before engaging in sexual intercourse the night before a scheduled singing performance in July 2005. When he began singing at about 10 a.m., he began suffering acute dsyphonia.

Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors Viagra, Cialis and Levitra comprise a relatively new class of drugs, the side-effects of which are slowly being recognized.

Apart from these, the ED drugs such as Cialis, Viagra and Levitra are of immense use for millions of ED sufferers.
