Viagra vs. Cialis
9/8/2010 at 1:08 PM
Well I am new to this type of thing but recently after my annual physical with my doctor I was given some information on a couple of erectile dysfunction drugs (ED). He went on to give me a little bit of background on both products and even gave me a couple sample packets. I am curious to know if others have experience and what they found they liked best. Did they both effect you the same way and did you have any bad experiences taking either of these products? Such as erections lasting more then 4 hours?
As far as I can tell viagra was only really good for 4 hours after the user first took the pill. Where as cialis is more of a "weekender" and can last up to 36 hours so you are always ready to get active. I have also seen several commercials for cialis for 'daily use' which is basically 5mg daily kind of like taking your vitamins and then you are always ready for sexual activity. I kind of like that idea as sometimes you just never know when the occasion might arise.
I've made a list on PRO'S and CON'S of each:
Viagra
PROS:
1) Can work as fast as 30 minutes and even sooner on an empty stomach
2) Erections have been said to be 100% strong on a scale from 10 - 100%
3) Trusted by over 30 million men to treat ED
CONS:
1) Has been said to have allot of side effects such as flu like symptoms and flushing in the face
2) Will last only for up to 4 hours
3) Can cause hazed vision in some men when looking directly into light
4) Must wait up to 2 hours after eating to take it
Cialis
PROS
1) Known as the weekend pill for lasting 36 hours
2) Can go for 2 days without taking another pill
3) Limited side effects have been reported by men
4) Both 10mg and 20mg cialis are said to last 36 hours as well
CONS:
1) Can take longer to work than other ED medications
2) On a scale from 10% - 100% men say cialis produces a 80% erection
3) Many men complain about lower back pain
Any one else with any advice.
