Generic ED Medicines Explained Simply

Blog Article

Sildenafil and tadalafil are the two best-known treatments for erectile dysfunction. Both help most men who try them, and both are now available as cheaper generics. The real question is usually not which one is "better", but which one fits your routine.

Generic sildenafil is normally taken about an hour before sex and works for four to five hours. A large meal can delay the effect. Tadalafil, on the other hand, can work for up to 36 hours, and food has little effect. Plenty of men also take a low daily dose of tadalafil so they never need to time a tablet.

For a side-by-side look, read the full guide here walks through timing, food and side effects.

Safety first: never take either medicine with nitrate heart medicines or with "poppers". Tell your doctor 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 sudden changes in vision.

Strength matters too. The licensed doses are 25, 50 or 100 mg for sildenafil and 2.5 to 20 mg for tadalafil. Higher-strength tablets do not reliably work better, but they do raise the risk of side effects. Stick to the dose on your prescription.

If you choose to buy generic sildenafil or tadalafil online, make sure here the strength matches your prescription and keep the leaflet. A valid prescription is required for every order of a prescription medicine. There is more detail in this tadalafil and sildenafil guide.
