Generic ED Medicines Explained Simply

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 cheaper generics. The main question is usually not which one is "better", but which one matches your plans.

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

If you want a simple comparison, this practical guide walks through timing, food and side effects.

Safety first: never take either medicine with nitrate tablets or sprays for chest pain or with "poppers". Tell your doctor about any alpha-blockers. The usual side effects are headache, flushing, a blocked nose and indigestion. Get urgent help for an erection lasting more than four hours or sudden changes in vision.

More is not always better. The licensed doses are here 25, 50 or 100 mg for sildenafil and 2.5 to 20 mg for tadalafil. Higher-strength tablets do not bring better results, but they do make side effects more likely. Only take the dose your prescriber has set.

If you choose to buy generic sildenafil or tadalafil online, check the strength on the pack and keep the leaflet. A valid prescription is required for every order of a prescription medicine. You can read more in this article.
