Brief Answer:
should be okay
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You would likely be okay.
The half life of a drug is the time is takes for the amount of medication in the body to decrease by half.
It normally takes 3 to 4 half lives for a medication to be mostly eliminated.
The half life of levitra is 4 to 6 hours, this means that by 14 hours, the amount in your body would have started to decrease, it would already would have at least halved though some if of it would still be present
Most of it should be eliminated in 12 to 24 hours.
It is possible that you may experience some of the side effects such as headaches, indigestions, runny nose, increased heart rate or flushing
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
