Levitra vs Vardenafil: are they the same?
Levitra is a commercial brand whose active ingredient is exactly Vardenafil. This page explains what that means in practice: where they differ (brand, manufacturer, price, available strengths), why they are clinically equivalent, and when the brand or an authorised generic is the better choice.
Are they the same?
Yes — Levitra contains Vardenafil as its active ingredient. Talking about "Levitra" in clinical terms is the same as talking about Vardenafil at the dose strengths 5mg, 10mg, 20mg. The differences from the authorised generic are brand, manufacturer (Bayer), excipients, tablet appearance and price — not the active molecule itself.
When Levitra is used
레비트라는 성인 남성의 발기부전 치료에 적응증이 있습니다. 양성 전립선 비대증, 폐동맥 고혈압, 여성, 소아 환자 또는 발기부전 진단이 없는 남성의 사용에는 승인되지 않았습니다. 제조사 처방 정보에 따르면, 임상의가 기저 원인, 심혈관 적합성 및 현재 복용 약물을 평가한 후에만 치료를 고려해야 합니다.
Mechanisms compared
Because they share the same active ingredient, the mechanism is identical: 성적 자극 동안 음경해면체에서 산화질소가 방출되어 cGMP를 생성하는 효소를 활성화하며, cGMP는 평활근을 이완시키고 혈류를 증가시켜 발기를 지지합니다.
Brand or generic — which to choose?
For most patients, authorised generics of Vardenafil are clinically equivalent substitutes for Levitra and typically cost substantially less. The practical differences are manufacturer, excipients (rarely matters except in specific sensitivities), tablet appearance and price. The brand is preferred by some patients for personal reasons or insurance coverage; the generic is the default when cost matters.
