Erection pills from the group of PDE inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) are the first choice for any form of organic ED. They are prescribed immediately before sexual intercourse in the time interval from 30 minutes to 1 hour before the planned sex. In some cases, drugs are prescribed regularly before each sexual intercourse, sometimes they are recommended to be taken only in cases where, in the opinion of the patient, there is the greatest chance of failure. These drugs have differences that are useful to know. Viagra has the greatest clinical experience since it has been in use since 1998. This drug has already helped more than 16 million people worldwide and is the most well-studied of all erection pills.
Viagra should be taken 1 hour before sexual intercourse, works up to 4 hours, and has more side effects after taking it compared to the newer PDE inhibitors. Before taking Viagra, it is not recommended to eat rich fatty foods, because it reduces the effectiveness of the drug.
Levitra can be taken 15 minutes before the planned sex, the duration of its action is slightly longer than that of Viagra, and the frequency of side effects is less.
Cialis is taken 30 minutes before the intended sexual intercourse, fatty foods do not affect its activity, and it lasts up to 36 hours and sometimes more. For this, Cialis is called a weekend pill, because one pill allows you to be “in good shape” all weekend.
