Cialis vs Viagra - Which do I Choose?

Does Cialis make you harder than Viagra?

It’s not that simple, neither is stronger than the other. Most often users will find that one product suits them better personally.

Cialis (drug name Tadalafil) and Viagra (drug name Sildenafil) are both in the same group of medicines and work in the same way. But their doses are not equivalent.

Whichever one you choose, at the right dose it should make you hard and able to enjoy sex.

Dosage differences between Cialis and Viagra?

Viagra is available in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg tablets. Cialis is available in 5mg (meant to be taken once every day, not “on demand”), 10mg and 20mg tablets.

These strengths are not equivalent and whichever one you choose you should always start with the lowest dose first. Cialis/Tadalafil 5mg is slightly different - this is a tablet you take every day regardless of whether you have sex. It results in a low level of the medicine always being in your system, this means that erections are spontaneous again when sexually aroused.

Which Is Better Cialis Or Sildenafil?

Neither is necessarily better than the other, but people often find one suits them more than the other.

The biggest difference between Viagra (Sildenafil) and Cialis is how long they last for. Viagra (Sildenafil) lasts for up to 8 hours whereas Cialis lasts for up to 36 hours.

Their potential side effects are pretty much the same too.

While Viagra has been the most popular product for the last decade, we’re now seeing Cialis as equally, if not slightly more popular now. Our customers report liking that it lasts longer (up to 36 hours) and some find that it causes fewer headaches and nasal congestion.

Cialis vs. Viagra: Pros and Cons—An In-Depth Comparison

Viagra remains the most recognised brand in the world of erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments, having been on the market the longest. Effective and safe, Viagra offers up to 8 hours of relief, although sexual arousal is necessary for an erection to occur.

If you're looking for a cost-effective alternative, consider the non-branded counterpart—Buy Sildenafil for Affordable ED Treatment. It offers the same effectiveness at a more budget-friendly price point.

On the other hand, Cialis boasts a longer-lasting effectiveness of up to 36 hours, making it ideal for a weekend of intimacy. Like Viagra, arousal is essential for the medication to work. Cialis has grown in popularity, becoming a close contender to Viagra in terms of user preference.

For those on a budget or looking for a generic version, Order Tadalafil 20mg for Long-lasting Effectiveness serves as a more affordable option without compromising on effectiveness.

Cialis vs Viagra: side effects

The most common side effects with both Viagra and Cialis are headaches, stuffy nose and flushing/reddening of the face. These are all harmless and can often be managed by staying well hydrated or taking pain relief in the case of a headache.

Generally, our customers report that Cialis has fewer and milder side effects than Viagra.
