Cialis vs. Viagra

Here we have the two most famous and most competing drugs. They both have many benefits, but the question is which of them has more advantages over the other. Cialis is much younger than Viagra. It was presented on the market ten years after the introduction of its opponent. This, however, does not mean that it is less effective or that it has fewer benefits. So let us have a look at these two and see what the advantages and disadvantages of each are.

As we know, these drugs are used in treating erectile or sexual dysfunction, and both of them work in the same way. They prevent the secretion of enzymes which inhibit the production of hormones which enable the erection. Thus they relax the muscles around the penis letting the blood flow enter it and the also help the hormones responsible for maintaining erection stay longer in the penis. Since the name of the enzyme that disables the production of ‘good’ hormones is PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase type 5), both Cialis and Viagra are called PDE-5 inhibitors.

As regards the side-effects these two can produce, the differences are only slight and not too significant. With Cialis, muscle pain has been reported, while Viagra causes blue-vision several hours after taking it. This is the point of the difference; they share the rest of the side-effects and some of these are headache, face flushing and stuffy nose.

Further on, we come to the most important point that differentiates the two of these drugs, and that is the longevity of their effectiveness. As far as this is concerned, Cialis is by far the winner. In fact, the time period during which it can reach the top of its effectiveness is 36 hours. This is the reason why it is usually called “the weekender”. So if you take it in the evening, you won’t have to take until the day after tomorrow. On the other hand, Viagra’ effectiveness lasts only up to four hours.

When after this we consider the dosages they come in, the conclusion follows that with less concentration of the medicine itself, Cialis produces much longer effects. Cialis comes in doses of 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg, while Viagra comes in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg doses. You can see for yourself the advantage that Cialis here has over Viagra.

When it comes to the question of cost, the prices of both are more or less the same, and if they differ it is a matter of cents.

To sum up, although these two share many similarities, Cialis by far exceeds Viagra in the most important aspects and those are performance, effectiveness and endurance. Taking into account that they will both cost you almost the same amount of money, choose wisely and opt for the one that will give you more pleasure and longer weekends. Cialis will, for sure, keep its promise and make you and your partner satisfied and thankful for the time that you two have spent together.
