Choose the medication that best suits your lifestyle and needs. Both Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil) treat erectile dysfunction, but they differ significantly in how long they last.
- Viagra: Takes effect in 30-60 minutes and lasts for about 4 hours. Best for those who need treatment only occasionally and prefer quicker onset. Cialis: Can be effective for up to 36 hours. Ideal for spontaneous intimacy as it allows for a longer window of opportunity. It also comes in a daily dosage for continuous treatment.
Consider these factors when deciding:
Frequency of use: Do you need daily treatment, or only as needed? Onset time: How quickly do you need the medication to work? Duration of effect: How long do you need the treatment to last? Side effects: Both medications can cause headaches, flushing, and indigestion. Discuss potential side effects with your doctor. Cost: Compare the cost per dose of each medication based on your usage pattern. Interactions with other medications: Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.
A consultation with your doctor is crucial before starting either medication. They can assess your health, discuss your options, and help you make an informed decision.
