Both Levitra and Viagra increase blood flow to the intended area. The major difference is in the time that the treatments remain effective for and also the intensity of side effects.
They both take effect in approx 30 minutes. Viagra lasts for 4 hours. With Levitra, the effects last between 4-8 hours.
The good thing about Levitra, V's Viagra, is that the former gives a bigger window of effectiveness, therefore allowing a more natural experience to occur.
Both these male impotence drugs have restrictions. They should not be used by men with a high risk of heart attack or stroke, or by men taking certain medications, including those for angina or hypertension.
All drugs have potential side effects, but as Levitra is the most recently developed treatment for ED, it is a hugely tuned treatment and its reported side effects have been less than that of its rivals.
Levitra and Cialis bascially work in the same way by increasing blood flow to the penis. With Cialis, the effects last for a 36-hour period, whereas Levitra is effective for anything between 4-9 hours.
Both treatments give a large window of effectiveness, leading to a more spontaneous experience. While Cialis does have a larger time frame, many people are uncomfortable having the active ingredient in their system for such an extended period of time. Levitra's window of effectiveness is long enough for a spontaneous experience but won't be in your system the next day. Another important factor to bear in mind when considering Levitra's V's Cialis is the mild side effects attributed to Levitra.
Both these male impotence drugs have restrictions. They should not be used by men with a high risk of heart attack or stroke, or by men taking certain medications, including those for angina or hypertension.
And with Cialis, potential side effects include back pain and muscle aches.
