What are the Differences between Sildenafil and Tadalafil
When it comes to a man’s sexual health, there is one particular type of medication that is instantly recognisable; as are its symptoms. This world-famous drug is known as Viagra and its uses can be found within Australia, as well as all the way through Europe and the United States. But where this FDA approved medication has a branded name, so too do several others that offer similar features and functions.
Of these Cialis is at the forefront of the industry, being a specially developed medication that offers many of the same features as its predecessor; albeit it with its own form of branding, chemical formulation and composition. There are other types, such as Staxyn, Stendra and Livitra – but the aforementioned options are considered the most effective by doctors and medical experts.
But what are the main differences between the two types and why will some benefit certain men, but cause unwanted side effects in others?
Getting to grips with Viagra
Commonly referred to within the medical industry as Sildenafil (especially when the unbranded term is required), this unique medication was originally developed to aid men that were suffering from flaccidity of the penis. The chemical formulation typically comes in pill-form, although there are certain organisations that offer liquid formulas, too.
When Sildenafil is consumed its chemical composition will be broken down as soon as it reaches the stomach lining, making it effective within 30 minutes. This composition will cause a reaction with stomach acids (in a harmless way), which helps to speed up the process of digestion. Once fully absorbed the formula will be transmitted throughout the body, via the blood stream.
It works to redefine the size and complexity of blood cells, making them much easier to transport around the body. As a result, regions of the body (including the genitals) can receive a much greater influx of fresh blood, resulting in stimulation that can last for anywhere between four to six hours – and this is one of the biggest differences between Sildenafil and Tadalafil.
What makes Cialis different?
This drug, also known as Tadalafil within the medical industry, has been developed to provide a longer lasting effect – and this is the key difference between the two types. Where Sildenafil lasts for under 6 hours, when it will no longer be present within a person’s blood stream, Tadalafil on the other hand can remain active for at least 18 hours.
This makes it far more suitable for those that aren’t taking any other forms of medication, as the prolonged exposure will provide a much more substantial period of sexual potential. Sildenafil on the other hand isn’t supposed to last as long, as the chemicals go straight to work to provide immediate results.
Tadalafil on the other hand comprises of a slow-release formula and one that offers sustained arousal without immediate results. Both are similarly priced and can be purchased online, over the counter, or received via subscription; so it’s all about the person’s preference and their medical compatibility.
