Sildenafil or Tadalafil: Finding the Right Fit

Blog Article

Sildenafil and tadalafil are the two most common treatments for erectile dysfunction. Both have a long track record, and both are sold as cheaper generics. The question that matters is usually not which one is "better", but which one fits your routine.

Generic sildenafil is normally taken about an hour before sex and lasts around four to five hours. A heavy meal can delay the effect. Generic tadalafil, on the other hand, can last for up to 36 hours, and food has little effect. Plenty of men also take a low daily dose of tadalafil so they do not have to plan ahead.

To compare the two in more detail, this guide explains the differences step by step.

Before you start: never take either medicine with nitrate tablets or sprays for chest pain 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 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 reliably work better, but they do raise the risk of side effects. Only take the dose your prescriber has set.

If you choose to buy generic sildenafil or tadalafil check here online, check the strength on the pack and read the patient leaflet. A valid prescription is required for every order of a prescription medicine. More practical tips are in this tadalafil and sildenafil guide.
