Viagra and Cialis: Understanding Your Options

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.
