Deciding Which Treatment is Right for You
The outlook for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) has improved enormously in the last few years with the advent of orally administered prescription treatments. There are three different brands available in the UK, namely Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
These treatments work in a similar way as they all share the same active ingredient. However they all retain slightly different qualities making them affect people in different ways and fit different situations. It is important for first time buyers to know what to expect and to understand that while there is a good chance of success, these treatments may not always have an immediate effect. It is also important to note that if your first choice of treatment does not work, it is quite possible one of the others may prove more suitable. It is therefore important to be aware of each prior to choosing which treatment best suits to you.

As the industry ' s pioneer, Viagra may have the most brand recognition but surveys of patients who have tried all three treatments suggest that there is no clear overall winner. Cialis is often the first choice for new patients because its " window " of effectiveness is up to 36 hours, considerably longer than the other two treatments. This can mean that there is less pressure to " time " your sexual activity and therefore can lead to a more relaxed and spontaneous experience. Viagra is the old kid on the block and has been used successfully by millions over the years - a proven performer. Levitra is effective for 12 hours which is long enough for most situations but not as short as Viagra. A second Levitra pill can be taken the following day and it also has the least amount of side-effects. A recent survey revealed the following :
- Viagra is the most widely recognised treatment
- In 2006, Cialis has overtaken Viagra as the most preferred treatment for first time users
- People using Levitra are less likely to change to another treatment
- 70% of people that do not respond to one treatment have a positive effect with an alternative treatment.
