Which Tablet is Best, Cialis or Tadalafil?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common medical condition among men. Whilst it can be the result of various factors, it is often treated with medication. Erectile Dysfunction prescriptions first became mainstream with the introduction of “the little blue pill” Viagra, but the popular drug is not the only one available on the market.
Cialis vs Tadalafil
“Cialis” is a brand name whist “tadalafil” is the medical (or generic) name for the product. Tadalafil tablets are named for the shared active ingredient it has with Cialis tablets, tadalafil. Not only that, but the side effects and efficacy are similar. The only difference can be found in the price: generic Tadalafil is usually much lower in cost than its brand name counterpart, Cialis.
What is Cialis (Tadalafil)?
Cialis is the second prescription grade erectile dysfunction product to be licenced in the UK. It contains the active ingredient tadalafil, known medically as a PDE5 inhibitor which is an enzyme involved with regulating blood flow to the genitals. The active PDE5 inhibitor, coincidentally, functions by aiding in the achievement of erection through temporarily increasing blood flow to the genitals by working in conjunction with a man’s natural arousal.
How Long Do Cialis/Tadalafil Tablets Take to Work and How Long Do They Last?
Cialis or Tadalafil for erectile dysfunction usually takes around 30 minutes for its effects to work so it should be taken at least 30 minutes prior to sexual activity. Sexual stimulation is required for the medication to work as it will not cause erections on its own. Its effects can last for up to 36 hours which is significantly longer than other ED medications on the market. That is why it is often referred to as The Weekend Pill! In comparison, Viagra is active for 4 hours.
How Do I Get Cialis/Tadalafil?
One of the easiest ways to purchase Tadalafil or Cialis is online through one of the UK’s leading online pharmacies, Pharmacy Planet. Once you have completed a short assessment, the tablets will be delivered directly to your door. It could not be any easier to get Erectile Dysfunction treatment online!
