These three active ingredients found on ED drugs have more or less similar effects. They also have these differences that separate one from the other and make one more preferable by clients over the other. To determine which drug is suitable for you, you should find out their differences as well as their similarities before deciding which product you are going to purchase.
ED Drugs and Their Effects Duration
One of the things that separate the three ED drugs from the other is the number of minutes or hours before the potent pill takes effect and the duration of its effectiveness.
This statement can be best explained by this:
Sildenafil Citrate. The effect of drugs with Sildenafil starts within 30 minutes to 1 hour after the drug was taken. The effect of this drug usually lasts for 4 hours per dose.
Tadalafil. The onset of the effect of this drug starts within 15 minutes after it was taken orally. Its effect lasts up to 36 hours with one dose.
Vardenafil. This drug should be taken an hour prior to sexual activity. The effect starts within 15 to 1 hour after the drug was taken and its effects lasts for approximately
5 to 6 hours.
Sildenafil Citrate
Among the three drugs, Sildenafil is the most popular and is the most commonly recommended by doctors among men with erectile dysfunction. One of the reasons why Sildenafil is most prescribed by doctors is because based on records, Sildenafil is the safest drug among the three and has been providing safe ED treatment on men for more than ten years now. Sildenafil has been providing ED relief and treatment among men of varied ages, those who are having difficulty in achieving and maintain erection and on men with various health concerns.
Sildenafil is available in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. The dosage varies depending on the person's health and current conditions but the common recommended dosage for an average man is 50 milligrams. The pill should be taken at least an hour before sexual intercourse. The effect of the pill takes effect after 30 to 60 minutes after taking the pill orally and lasts approximately after 4 hours. Sildenafil can alter a person's color perception and it is therefore advised for men who took the pill not to drive while under medication. Men who need to take a heavy meal or drive a car is advised to take Tadalafil instead.
Tadalafil
Tadalafil is recommended among men who have to drive a car, who need to take full meals, or those who want to drink alcoholic beverages prior to having sex. This is the one of the advantages of Tadalafil over Sildenafil, among others. The recommended starting dosage is only 10 milligrams but can also be taken in 20 milligrams depending on the man's health and other relevant factors. Tadalafil should be taken 16 minutes before having sex.
Tadalafil can be taken daily as a medication unlike the Sildenafil and Vardenafil. Its effects can last up to 36 hours but can cause myalgia. If you have heart issues, take Vardenafil.
Vardenafil
Vardenafil is the ideal ED medication for those who have heart issues. The drug is available at 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg and should be taken 25 minutes to an hour before sexual intercourse. Its effect can last up to 6 hours and should not be taken more than one dosage per day.
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the incapacity of a man to achieve and maintain erection for sexual performance and satisfaction. This condition is caused by several factors, but it is mainly the insufficient flow of blood to the penis, preventing a man to achieve erection. By taking ED drugs, the muscles in the penis are smoothened thereby allowing sufficient amount of blood to flow into the penis to attain erection. The drug prevents blood from flowing out in order to sustain erection.
All ED drugs should still be coupled with sexual stimulation in order to take effect. Every person's dosage varies so it is necessary to consult a doctor before taking any of these ED medications.
