Cialis and Viagra are both well-known treatments for erectile dysfunction. Their generic versions are Tadalafil and Sildenafil, respectively. There are small differences in side effects, duration, and contraindication. Either drug requires a prescription. With a doctor's input, you can find the right treatment option.

What's the best option for you?

Cialis (Tadalafil) and Viagra (Sildenafil) are very similar medications. There are a few key differences that set them apart.

Cialis (Tadalafil) is an all-day solution, giving you flexibility and spontaneity in your most intimate moments. However, it takes a bit longer to kick in. Viagra (Sildenafil) only lasts for a few hours, but it works almost immediately.

Cialis (Tadalafil) is also prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia and pulmonary arterial hypertension. If you already have one of these conditions, taking Cialis (Tadalafil) is a good choice. You cannot take Cialis (Tadalafil) if you are on nitrates (for a heart condition).

Viagra (Sildenafil) has been reported to be effective in men with ED associated with diabetes and prostate cancer, and in psychogenic ED. You cannot take Viagra (Sildenafil) if you are on nitrates.

You'll need a prescription for either of these medications.

How do Cialis and Viagra work?

When a man has erectile dysfunction, the blood vessels in his penis fail to open properly. This prevents proper blood flow.

Both Cialis (Tadalafil) and Viagra (Sildenafil) are oral medications that falls into a class of drugs called PDE-5 inhibitors.

Phosphodiesterase-5 is an enzyme that deflates your erection during sexual activity. High PDE-5 inhibitors block this enzyme, giving you staying power.

What are the side effects of Cialis and Viagra?

It's generally safe to take either of these medications. However, as with all drugs, there are potential side effects. Consult with a physician if you are on either of these medications and experience side effects.

Cialis (Tadalafil) common side effects include:

  • Headache
  • Indigestion
  • Back pain

Viagra (Sildenafil) common side effects include:

  • Headache
  • Flushing
  • Nasal Congestion
