What is Levitra Super Active?

Levitra Super Active is a generic version of Levitra (vardenafil) in soft gel capsules; the active ingredient and effectiveness are the same.

What is Levitra Super Active? It is a version of the erectile dysfunction medicine Levitra, presented as soft gelatin capsules rather than ordinary tablets. Its active ingredient is vardenafil, the same as in standard Levitra, and it is sold as a generic. The main selling point is faster absorption, which may bring on the effect a little sooner. As with any such medicine, it requires a prescription and medical supervision.

The difference is the capsule

Standard Levitra is taken as a tablet that is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract. Levitra Super Active uses soft capsules containing vardenafil in a gel form. The idea is that this format dissolves and is absorbed more quickly, so the effect may be felt a little earlier. The active ingredient, however, is the same vardenafil, so the underlying action does not change.

What vardenafil does

Vardenafil, like sildenafil, is a PDE5 inhibitor. It improves blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection. It works only in the presence of arousal — it does not create desire or cause an automatic erection. This places Levitra Super Active firmly in the same family as Viagra and other PDE5 inhibitors.

The benefits it claims

The main appeal is a potentially faster onset, offering a little more spontaneity, and some users find the soft capsule convenient. Even so, expectations should be realistic: the difference from standard vardenafil is not dramatic, and the underlying effectiveness is the same because the molecule is unchanged. For comparison, see what the alternatives to Viagra are.

The same precautions

Because it contains vardenafil, Levitra Super Active shares the same contraindications and interactions, especially the absolute rule against combining it with nitrates. It needs a prescription and is not suitable for everyone. As it is a generic often sold online, take care with sources to avoid counterfeits. See the general usage guide and the difference between 50mg and 100mg Viagra. More guides are in the male potency and erectile dysfunction section.
