Cialis vs Viagra - Is Cialis one a day a better erectile dysfunction pill as compared to Viagra?

Cialis and Viagra are two of the most popular treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) available today. Introduced on to the market in 1998, Viagra was the first FDA-approved ED drug; thus it had a head-start over Cialis which was approved for use in 2003. However, Cialis, also popularly known as the ‘weekend pill,’ has caught on with Viagra because it is the only male impotence drug that is available in a daily use low dose version. One of the biggest advantages of taking Cialis is that your food intake does not limit or affect its absorption in any way. It is possible to take Viagra, the little blue pill, along with your meals, but fatty foods like fries or cheeseburgers can impair and limit its absorption rate in your body.

Cialis once a day, approved as a daily dosing option, is available in relatively lower dosages of 2.5mg and 5mg. This is likely to alleviate and reduce the dose-dependant adverse effects that accompany the comparatively higher doses of Viagra. A higher dose is linked to a higher drug level peak and thus there are greater chances of adverse side effects. Cialis one a day allows you to indulge in spontaneous sexual activity, unlike other ED treatments such as Viagra. This medication is therefore an attractive option if you are sexually active and do not like to plan your romantic activity around a drug. A major factor that discourages many men from taking Cialis and other ED drugs is that they need to be taken at least half an hour prior to sexual activity. With Cialis one a day you don’t need to plan intimacy around the dosages or mealtimes.

Commonly known as erectile dysfunction, impotence is the inability to get or retain an erection that is sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Although, it can be treated with the help of both the medications like Viagra and Cialis, Cialis because of its mechanism of action has become the drug of choice. Both drugs belong to a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors and work by easing the blood flow to the penis. This results in a hard and longer-lasting erection. Both Cialis and Cialis Daily have a number of advantages over its other counterparts.

Cialis – Side effects and cautions

Cialis is a revolutionary impotence pill that is giving Viagra and Levitra a run for their money. The pill offers men with erectile dysfunction a larger window of opportunity to enjoy sex. Unlike Viagra and Levitra that remain effective for just 4-5 hours, Cialis stays in your body for 36 hours. In addition, Cialis is also available in the lower strength Cialis one a day format, that allows men with erectile dysfunction to enjoy sex whenever the moment is right, just like any normal man.

Cialis side effects

Cialis, as well as Cialis once a day pill are approved by the FDA and are proven to be safe and effective in various clinical trials. However, like most other prescription drugs Cialis as well as Cialis one a day come with certain side effects. The side effects of Cialis are similar to those reported in other impotence treatment pills like Viagra and Levitra. Some of the commonly reported side effects of Cialis include headache, facial flushing, back pain, muscle ache, nasal congestion and stomach upset. In rare cases, men taking Cialis treatment have reported priapism, a condition in which an erection lasts up to 4 hours. Some patients have also reported sudden loss of vision or loss of hearing abilities. Allergic reactions to Cialis such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness and trouble breathing may also be experienced by some men. In case, you experience any of the rare Cialis side effects or if any of the Cialis side effects become bothersome, please consult your doctor immediately.

Cialis recommended dosage

Cialis tadalafil is a path-breaking prescription only drug that not only offers men with erectile dysfunction a firm and sustained erection that is sufficient to complete sexual intercourse but also offers them the much-needed spontaneity in lovemaking. Cialis as needed pill remains effective for 36 hours while the other 2 FDA approved impotence pills, Viagra and Levitra, remain effective for just 4-5 hours each. For its longer period of effectiveness, Cialis is fondly known as the ‘Weekend Pill’. If you indulge in sexual activity more frequently, twice a week for instance, you may go for the recently released one a day Cialis pills. One a day Cialis pills have been approved by the FDA. This medicine is the lower strength version of Cialis as needed pill. The one a day Cialis allows men with impotence the opportunity to indulge in sexual activity whenever the moment is right, just like normal men.

Cialis ingredients
The active ingredient in Cialis as needed medication as well as one a day Cialis is tadalafil. The other ingredients include lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium laurilsulfate and magnesium stearate. The film-coat is made up of lactose monohydrate, hypromellose, triacetin, titanium dioxide (E171), iron oxide yellow (E172) and talc.

Cialis dosages
The Cialis as-need medication is available in the dosage strengths of 5mg, 10mg and 20mg while one a day Cialis is available in the strengths of 2.5mg and 5mg. The lower strengths of Cialis one a day makes it suitable for daily use. Since both Cialis as needed as well as one a day Cialis are prescription only drugs, you should take these medicines in the dosage recommended by your doctor. Typically, doctors start Cialis treatment with the lower strength versions and then gradually increase the dosage strength only if the lower strength of Cialis dosage does not deliver the desired results and is well tolerated by your body. In any case, you should not alter your Cialis dosages without consulting your doctor first. These days, you also have the option to consult an online doctor through Cialis online clinics.

Cialis vs. Viagra vs. Levitra

Cialis, Levitra and Viagra are so far the only 3 FDA approved pills for impotence treatment. There are many similarities between these 3 drugs and there are tremendous differences as well. The 3 drugs are similar due to the fact that they belong to the same class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Their mechanism of work is therefore similar. On receiving sexual stimulation, the effects of these medicines help dilate the smooth blood vessels so that more blood rushes into the penis. The penis is then filled with blood and it therefore achieves a firm and prolonged erection.

Amongst Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, Viagra is the most popular ED treatment pill. This is because Viagra was the first ever medication that was approved for the treatment of impotence. Viagra enjoyed complete monopoly for 5 long years. By that time, Viagra had firmly established itself as the impotence treatment medication. Levitra, which is quite similar to Viagra, was launched in 2003. It was hard for Levitra to make a place for itself in a market that was entirely dominated by Viagra. Cialis entered a few months after the launch of Levitra; however, it achieved instant attention from both the doctors and the patients alike.

The huge advantage of Cialis over Viagra is that it acts faster and lasts much longer than Viagra. While Viagra becomes effective within 60 minutes and lasts for just 4 hours, Cialis becomes effective within 30 minutes and its effect last for 36 hours. Cialis therefore offers men the much needed spontaneity in lovemaking. Additionally, the newly released ‘Cialis one a day’ also offers absolute spontaneity during lovemaking. It allows men with ED to enjoy sex anytime they want to just like normal men. Levitra on the other hand is a little improved version of Viagra as it remains effective for up to 5 hours. The advantage that Levitra has over Viagra is that it is available in lower strength versions of Cialis 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg while Viagra is available in the strengths of 25mg, 50mg and 100mg tablets. Lower strengths mean that the intensity of side effects is lower in the case of Levitra as compared to Viagra. For this reason, many elderly men prefer to take Levitra over Viagra for erectile dysfunction treatment.

Before taking any impotence treatment medication it is advisable to consult your doctor to find out which drug will work best in your case. Get free erectile dysfunction consultation.

Learn about the 3 popular drugs for erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most commonly reported sexual problems in men. In this condition, men face a consistent inability to achieve or sustain an erection of the penis long enough to complete sexual intercourse. ED is commonly reported by men above 65 years of age, not because impotence is a natural part of the ageing process but because the elderly are more likely to suffer from conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol that may interfere in the natural process of erection. Sometimes, young men may also report erectile dysfunction, but this is mostly due to psychological factors such as depression, sexual boredom and performance anxiety. In most cases, impotence due to psychological reasons is effectively treated through counselling and sex therapy.

When the cause of ED is physiological in nature, the first line of treatment is the use of Viagra, Levitra and Cialis specifically designed drugs for erectile dysfunction. Only these 3 drugs are approved by the US FDA as a prescription only treatment for impotence. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis belong to the same class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors and therefore they work in the same way. In response to sexual stimulation, the active ingredients in these 3 drugs for erectile dysfunction which include sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis), dilate the smooth blood vessels in the penis so that more blood can rush in to the penis. As a result, the penis is filled with blood and you are able to achieve a firm erection. The erection is sustained by blocking the action of the enzyme called PDE5 which is responsible for the breakdown of your erection. Once sexual intercourse has been satisfactorily completed, the penis returns to its normal flaccid state.

While Viagra and Levitra are quite similar, Cialis tadalafil works a little differently as it becomes effective faster and remains effective for a very long time. While Viagra and Levitra become effective within 60 minutes, Cialis becomes effective within 30 minutes. In addition, both Viagra and Levitra remain effective for just 4 hours in your body, while Cialis remains effective for 36-hours. Cialis thus offers men greater opportunities for spontaneous lovemaking and is therefore the much preferred drug for erectile dysfunction treatment.
