Comparisons between Viagra, Cialis & Levitra

Before going ahead with any of the three main types of erectile dysfunction treatments you should fully research each option so you can make sure that you are taking the best medication for you. The three drugs do work in similar ways by allowing the blood flow more freely through the penis to help make the erection harder and longer lasting. The drugs are also similar in the way that they are activated as sexual stimulation is needed for an erection to take place as the drugs do not cause an erection to happen by itself.

Viagra has been for a number of years now the most popular out of the 3 options although this is probably down to Viagra being the best known as Levitra and Cialis are also extremely effective and safe to use. Viagra was first approved for widespread use in 1998 where as Levitra and Cialis were not approved until 2003.

The average dosages of the drugs are different with Viagra having an average of 50mg and Levitra and Cialis both have the average recommended dosage of 10mg. The time frame between taking one of the drugs and seeing the effects also does differ with Viagra having the longest of these as it is often recommended to wait for an hour to have sexual activity after taking the drug. The drug Cialis has a time frame of around 30 minutes before you see any results and Levitra has the shortest affectivity time with results being seen in as little as 25 minutes.

The amount of time that the drug stays effective for should also be considered before choosing the medication and you should think about the results that you need. For example do you want to have sex more than once a day and if this is the case then you should think about taking the drug with the longest affectivity time. These times are listed below;

• Viagra lasts for around 4 hours.
• Cialis can last anywhere between 17 and 36 hours.
• Levitra can last for around 5 hours.

The average cost of all three of the drugs is relatively similar with Cialis being on average the cheapest. However if you are eligible to get erectile dysfunction on the NHS then you can get all of the three drugs for the price of a normal prescription charge.

The success rates of the drugs are again similar with the drugs being affective in around 70% of all cases. It is also quite common for one of the drugs to work better for you than the other two so it is often just a matter of trying them out to see which one works best for you.

The side effects of the drugs are mostly the same with the most common of these potential risks being headaches, stomach aches and hot flushes. It has been claimed by a few medical studies that Viagra can cause more temporary vision problems than the other two drugs.

In conclusion to the comparison between the three drugs is that they are all very similar with the only major differences being that Levitra works the fastest and Cialis tends to work for the longest period of time and with Viagra being the most used. Because of this it is important to keep trying the different treatments for erectile dysfunction if at first the recommended treatment does not work because there are so many alternative treatments that can make a real difference to your erectile problems.
