Viagra vs. other ED drugs

Viagra was the first drug to be introduced on the market and it would be fair to say that this medication has made the market in the first place. Before Viagra there were no real treatment options for treating erectile dysfunction in men. But here we are, more than a decade later and the market is saturated with different medications claiming to match and even top the effectiveness of Viagra. And while some of these drugs can be viewed as simple rip-offs, there are still a handful of drugs that put serious competition to Viagra. Two of the most prominent alternatives to Viagra are Cialis and Levitra, which were both introduced five years after Viagra and have since earned a good share of the ED pill market. But are they so different from Viagra?

In fact, there are more similarities between these drugs than differences. They all use the same mechanism of action, although it is achieved by employing different active ingredients. All three drugs work by stimulating blood flow into the penile shaft and assuring that it stays there, which improves the quality of erection making it stronger and prolonged in time. So choosing which drug exactly should you buy is a matter of personal preference and response to the drug. Some are happy with Viagra, while others feel that Levitra is helping them better. Some people think that 4-5 hours of good erection is enough with Viagra, while other claim that Cialis works best because it delivers its effects for a longer period of time. But regardless of your point of view make sure that you discuss the use of these drugs with your doctor. A physician will be able to help you in choosing the most appropriate ED medication according to your individual situation. So don't lay it off and pay your doctor a visit.
