Is Cialis better than Viagra?

What doses of Cialis can I buy ?

There are two doses available: 10 mg (marked with C10)and 20 mg tablets (marked with C20).

How is Cialis different from Viagra?

Cialis and Viagra are in the same class of drugs (they are both PDE5 inhibitors and allow relaxation of the smooth muscle of the penis). They both need sexual stimulation to work. However, they have different chemical structures. One of the main differences is the duration of action of Cialis. Cialis offers a period of responsiveness of 24-36 hours. This will be very important for some men who find it very difficult to estimate accurately when they might have sex. Other men also complain that having to take the tablet immediately before sex makes the situation ‘medical’. Clearly a longer window of opportunity could be beneficial for them also. There is no interaction between Cialis and food, whereas Viagra’s onset of activity may be delayed by food.

Is Cialis better than Viagra?

There have been no controlled clinical trials comparing men taking the optimum doses of Cialis with Viagra, so a direct comparison cannot be made regarding which drug people prefer. What can be said clearly are that they are both very safe, very effective drugs, and it will up to the patient to decide which is the best for them in a particular social setting.

Can Cialis tablets be split?

The tablets are not designed to be split.

How well does Cialis work?

In a general population study, 81% men stated their erections improved with the 20 mg dose and 75% of attempts for full sexual intercourse were successful. In men with diabetes, 76% reported an improvement in their erections and 58% of attempts for full sexual intercourse were successful In men taking drugs for high blood pressure, 84% of men reported improvements in their erections.

If Cialis lasts for 24 hours, does this mean erections will last for 24 hoars?

No, Cialis is only effective with sexual stimulation. No one has reported episodes of priapism (prolonged erection) when they have used Cialis.

My days are rather hectic and sometimes I have no idea when I am going to have sex with my partner. When should I take Cialis for the best effect?

It can be taken from 30 minutes to 12 hours prior to sexual activity. The effects of Cialis may persist up to 36 hours after you have taken the tablet. This means that you can take the tablet some time before having sex and choose when the time is right for you and your partner.

Has Cialis any advantages over Viagra or Levitra?

The main advantage with Cialis is that it has a long ‘half-life’ -what this means is that the drug will be effective for longer than Viagra or Levitra, so you won’t have to have sex soon after taking it, taking the pressure off planning intercourse precisely. This can be a major advantage to some people, particularly those not in a regular relationship, who feel at present that they are at risk of wasting their Viagra tablet if they take it and then don’t have sex in the ensuing few hours. It will also be advantageous to those people who feel that taking a tablet immediately before sex ‘medicalizes’ the whole situation.
Another advantage is that, unlike Viagra, the absorption of Cialis does not appear to be affected by food. This means that it will work just as well when taken after a meal.

Do you think that Cialis will be better than Viagra in the long term?

At the moment, this is not possible to say. It is dangerous to try to compare the results of studies between Viagra and Cialis, as the trials have been made in different people, or were carried out or assessed differently. For the future, you might be offered a selection of these tablets, so that you can take some of each to see which suits you best, or indeed have some of each to take in different social circumstances.
