Cialis and Levitra are the representatives of the new generation of pills for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) treatment. They were approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration of the USA) in 2003, and since then gain more and more popularity all over the world. Men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction now do not have to stick to Viagra only (the prototype and predecessor of Cialis and Levitra), but can also try either Cialis or Levitra and thus find the most suitable pill.
No doubt that there exist a lot of persons unsatisfied with the most popular pill for the time being (Viagra). Today they have a wider range of choices; and the producers of Cialis and Levitra hope, that their drugs will be able to help all those who could not solve their problem by this time.
Levitra (vardenafil) is marketed by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline, while Cialis (tadalafil) is made by Lilly ICOS. Though these pills are made by different companies, they both act the same: raising the blood inflow to the penis, thus resulting in its erection. There is one important note here: neither Levitra nor Cialis can not make penis erect, the sexual stimulation is necessary.
Cialis and Levitra are similarly taken orally before the planned sexual activity. Nevertheless there is a very notable difference in how fast they start working. Taking Levitra, one can be ready for erection in 30 minutes or even in an hour; but be sure, if you take Cialis, you can be ready to party in as fast as 16 minutes! Furthermore, it remains effective for 36 hours, while Levitra works for about 4 hours.
One more important point concerns food: both drugs can be taken with it. The only thing necessary to know about Levitra: it should not be taken with grapefruit or its juice, otherwise it can cause serious side effects.
By the way, the information about the side effects is probably the most important. Some side effects are common to Cialis and Levitra. They are headache, flushing, stuffy and runny nose; though they are not treated as something serious and do not make patients stop taking these pills.
Levitra is characterized with one more side effect absent in Cialis that is visual disorder (when the patient cannot differentiate blue and green colors). Nevertheless, the disadvantages of Cialis are back pain and muscle ache, but they always stop in some time. Priapism is far more dangerous side effect and can have serious harmful results on the body, so if the erection lasts more than 4 hours, medical help is necessary.
It is obvious that each pill has its own advantages and weak points. It is up to every person which drug to choose. The side effect may vary in different organisms, that is why the pills must be chosen individually. The best way out is to consult the doctor before taking a pill and to follow the prescription to avoid the overdose.
