Viagra To Cialis & Beyond: Understanding Your ED Medication Choices

Erectile dysfunction, or ED, affects around 43% of men aged 18-60 in the UK. This common issue can be caused by a number of factors ranging from stress and fatigue to underlying health conditions. There are a variety of medications now available to treat ED, most of which you can get quickly and discreetly from online pharmacies.

If you’ve experienced ED, understanding the different options available is key to finding the erectile dysfunction treatment that’s right for you. Here’s a rundown of some of the most commonly used ED medications.  

Viagra (Sildenafil)

Sold under the brand name Viagra, Sildenafil is one of the best-known ED medications available. Sildenafil is effective within 30-60 minutes and lasts up to 4 hours. If you have low blood pressure, have recently had a stroke or have serious liver or heart issues, the medication may not be suitable. Always consult a pharmacist before taking Sildenafil for the first time.

Cialis (Tadalafil)

If you’re looking for alternative tablets to Viagra, Cialis is a good option. The active ingredient in Cialis is a medicine known as Tadalafil. It works in a similar way to Viagra, but lasts a lot longer, in some cases up to 36 hours. This offers more opportunity for spontaneity as you don’t have to plan your sexual encounters as carefully. 

Levitra (Vardenafil) 

Vardenafil is the active ingredient in Levitra, a medication with effects very similar to those of Viagra. The main difference between the two treatments is that Vardenafil is up to 10 times more potent than Sildenafil. So, a much lower dose is required to achieve the same results, potentially causing fewer side effects. This can make Levitra more suitable for older adults and those with underlying health conditions. 

Spedra (Avanafil)

Active just 15-30 minutes after ingestion, Avanafil, sold under the brand name Spedra, is a good option for those who want fast results. Avanafil can last up to 4 hours. The most commonly reported side effects of the medication are headaches, nasal congestion and flushing. 

Generic Versions

If you’re looking for cost effective alternatives to Viagra and Cialis, generic medications are a good option. These tablets are easily available from online pharmacies and contain the same active ingredients as their branded counterparts. This means they work in exactly the same way, giving you good results at a fraction of the price. 

Side Effects

Before you begin taking any ED medication, it’s important to consider the side effects. Some treatments can interact with other medications or aggravate underlying health conditions. It’s also a good idea to take lifestyle factors into account when selecting a treatment.
