Sildenafil or Tadalafil: Finding the Right Fit

Blog Article

Tadalafil and sildenafil are the two best-known treatments for erectile dysfunction. Both work well for most men, and both are sold as affordable generics. The real question is often not which one is "better", but which one fits your routine.

Generic sildenafil is typically taken about an hour before sex and works for four to five hours. A high-fat meal can slow it down. Tadalafil, on the other hand, can work for up to 36 hours, and food makes little difference. Some men also take website a low daily dose of tadalafil so they do not have to plan ahead.

If you want a simple comparison, see this plain-English guide covers doses, timing and safety.

Before you start: never take either medicine with nitrate heart medicines or with "poppers". Let your doctor know about any blood pressure tablets. Common side effects are headache, flushing, a blocked nose and indigestion. Seek medical help straight away for an erection lasting more than four hours or any sudden loss of sight or hearing.

Strength matters too. The licensed doses are 25, 50 or 100 mg for sildenafil and 2.5 to 20 mg for tadalafil. Bigger doses do not bring better results, but they do raise the risk of side effects. Only take the dose your prescriber has set.

When you buy medicine online, make sure the strength matches your prescription and keep the leaflet. A valid prescription is required for every order of a prescription medicine. More practical tips are here.
