Viagra Super Active is an advanced medicine intended for treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. It has proven more effective than its previous versions, because it is absorbed more rapidly and therefore works faster. The whole effect is augmented by herbal supplements contained in Viagra Super Active tablets.

Viagra Super Active is based on Sildenafil citrate, and it is a prescribed drug. It should not be administered without a doctor's recommendation. The drug is NOT intended for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and DOES NOT protect your body against sexually transmitted infections or HIV. Like any PDE5 drug, Viagra Super Active directly affects the genital area. As long as impotence often occurs as a sign of another serious disease (diabetes, heart insufficiency, hypotension, etc.), Viagra Super Active does not treat the cause of poor erection.

There is no viable research information on the consequences of Viagra administration in people affected by ST diseases. Most probably, it is because these people should be rejected from any sexual activity due to their infected status, which makes any pondering on the use of such drugs among them irrelevant. However, there is a well researched data on the drug's interaction with ritonavir, a potent P450 inhibitor (applied for treatment of HIV), revealing a possibility of dramatic drops in blood pressure. As to other drugs used for treatment of ST infections, the occurrence of side effects depends on individual tolerability.

Sildenafil ensures relaxation of the smooth muscle of the penis and hence easier blood supply to the corpus cavernosa. The drug's work is only observable during sexual arousal, since it is the moment when nitric oxide is produced in the genital area, which triggers the production of guanylate cyclase and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP blocks the production of phosphodiestrase type 5 (PDE5), a natural enzyme, which keeps the smooth muscle strained and therefore hampers blood circulation in the corpus cavernosa. Smaller proportions of PDE5 in the area ensure faster and better engorgement of the corpus cavernosa with blood and hence stronger and longer erection.

Like any other drug, Sildenafil has contraindications. It is not recommended for people suffering cardiac disorders, blood pressure issues, hepatic disorders, and renal insufficiency. The drug must be dosed and administered in strict accordance with a physician's recommendations. The drug's advanced formula should not be regarded as a reason to use it as a fancy drug.
