For most adults, Vardenafil is compatible with driving once a stable response is established, but the first dose and dose changes deserve extra caution.
Side effects that affect driving

Practical guidance
According to the prescribing information for Vardenafil, until you know how you respond to Vardenafil, you should avoid driving. After several doses with no relevant side effects, normal driving is usually safe. Vardenafil selectively inhibits PDE5, the enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate in the corpus cavernosum. Combining Vardenafil with alcohol or sedating medications adds risk and is not advised before driving.
