Viagra, Cialis and Letriva - how do the sexual enhancers differ from each other?

Viagra, Cialis or Levitra are among the so-called PDE5 inhibitors and are among the best-known sexual enhancers on the market. The most popular is, of course, Viagra, which was launched in 1998 by the US company Pfizer. As a man with erectile dysfunction, you often feel overwhelmed by the wide range of sexual enhancers available. It is therefore worth taking a closer look at the properties of the drugs. What many patients don't know is that Cialis and Levitra contain a much smaller amount of active ingredient and differ in their duration of action.

 

In addition, there are price differences that arise due to the numerous generics.

 

Viagra and generic drugs with the active ingredient Sildenafil

 sildenafil 100mg

The active ingredient sildenafil contained in Viagra develops its effect around 30 minutes after ingestion. The desired effect lasts up to 8 hours. Since the patent expired in 2013, numerous imitation drugs have been offered at a significantly lower price. This price difference comes about because there are no research and advertising costs. One of the best-known and most efficient generics is Kamagra, which is offered by the Indian pharmaceutical company Ajanta Pharma. This product can convince not only from a financial point of view, but also because of its versatility. It is so popular with men precisely because the generics are available in a wide variety of variants. For example, there are Kamagra effervescent tablets that can be easily dissolved in a glass of water and are therefore suitable for men who want to avoid swallowing tablets. Preparations such as Kamagra Effervescent or Gel can also convince in terms of taste. Since the active ingredient is already absorbed in the oral mucosa, it also gets into the blood much faster, so that nothing stands in the way of spontaneous sex.

Cialis and generics with the active ingredient Tadalafil

 

One of the main differences between Cialis and generics like Vidalista , which are based on the active ingredient Tadalafil, is the above-average duration of action of up to 36 hours. While with other sexual enhancers there is no erection after 4 to 6 or a maximum of 8 hours, with Cialis you can retreat to extensive lovemaking for a whole weekend. During this time you do not have to stop sex, but get several erections in a row after sexual stimulation. Of course, that doesn't mean that you can walk around for 36 hours with a permanent erection.

 

However, since one tablet already achieves an enormously long effect, tadalafil-containing

Generics are also known as the "weekend pill".

 

Vilitra and generics with the active ingredient vardenafil

Levitra

Similar to the active ingredient sildenafil, vardenafil also has a duration of action of 8 hours and can be taken about half an hour before sex.

​

Cialis and Vardenafil can be administered in significantly lower doses compared to Viagra to unleash their effects.

 

In the case of severe erectile dysfunction, the generic Levitra shows a significantly better effect than the other two drugs.

 

Which sexual enhancer should you choose?

 

It is not possible to make a general statement about which PDE-5 inhibitor is to be preferred, as every body reacts differently to the active ingredients. It is best to test a sexual enhancer with a low dose. The preparations are generally well tolerated.
