What Ingredients Are In Cialis Or Viagra And How Do They Work?

Cialis is the brand name for Tadalafil and Viagra is the brand name for Sildenafil. Both belong to a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. PDE5 inhibitors only work when sexually stimulated because they rely on the natural release of nitric oxide (NO), a chemical only released when sexually aroused. NO, in turn, activates other substances to relax the smooth muscles in the penis toallowblood to enter and an erection to occur.PDE5 inhibitors increase the effects of NO.

Cialis was first approved for erectile dysfunction on November 21, 2003.It was the third PDE5 inhibitor to enter the market after Levitra [Vardenafil]).

What Lasts Longer?

How Fast Does Cialis And Viagra Work And Do Foods Have An Effect?

Cialis usually works within 16 to 45 minutes and its activity is not affected by food.Viagra usually works within 30 minutes, and its effects may be reduced if taken shortly after a high-fat meal (which may also delay the duration of effects). For this reason, it is best to take Viagra on an empty stomach. The effectiveness of all PDE5 inhibitors is similar; although Viagra's reported effectivenessat 84% is slightly higher than Cialis's at 81%. However, more men prefer Cialis due to its longer duration of action.

What Is The Usual Dose Of Cialis Or Viagra?

Cialis can be taken as needed or daily.1 In general, daily doses are smaller than needed doses. Cialis is usually taken as a starting dose of 10mg prior to sexual activity. The effects of Cialislast about 36 hours. The dose can be increased to 20 mg if 10 mg is not effective, or decreased to 5 mg if side effects are intolerable.

When taking Cialis daily, the recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg once a day, or 5 mg for people who also have BPH. The timing of the daily dose does not matter in people who use it solely to treat erectile dysfunction; However, people with BPH are advised to take it at the same time each day. Do not take more than one dose per day, but your doctor may consider increasing the dose to 2.5 to 5 mg if that is not effective.Side effects of Cialis include headaches and indigestion. Viagra is taken as needed at a dose of 50 mg about 1 hour before intercourse (although it can be taken 30 minutes to 4 hours before).
