Generic ED Medicines Explained Simply

Sildenafil and tadalafil are the two best-known treatments for erectile dysfunction. Both help most men who try them, and both are sold as affordable generics. The main question is often not which one is "better", but which one suits the way you live.

Sildenafil is usually taken about an hour before sex and lasts around four to five hours. A high-fat meal can delay the effect. Generic tadalafil, on the other hand, can last for up to 36 hours, and food makes little difference. Some men also take a low daily dose of tadalafil so they do not have to plan ahead.

For a side-by-side look, read the full guide here covers doses, timing and safety.

Before you start: never take either medicine with nitrate heart medicines or with "poppers". Tell your doctor about any alpha-blockers. Common side effects are headache, flushing, a blocked nose and indigestion. Seek medical help straight away for an erection lasting more than four hours or sudden changes in vision.

Strength matters too. The licensed doses are 25, 50 or 100 mg here for sildenafil and 2.5 to 20 mg for tadalafil. Bigger doses do not bring better results, but they do make side effects more likely. Stick to the dose on your prescription.

If you choose to buy generic sildenafil or tadalafil online, make sure the strength matches your prescription and read the patient leaflet. A valid prescription is required for every order of a prescription medicine. More practical tips are in this article.
