Viagra is branded prescription drug which uses the active ingredient (Sildenafil) to treat Erectile dysfunction and allow for easier erections. Sildenafil inhibits an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 which allows the blood vessels supplying the penis to relax and more blood to flow to the penis. This allows a firmer and more spontaneous erection when sexually aroused.
Viagra starts to work 30 minutes to an hour after being taken orally and its effects last for 4-5 hours. This means that within that timeframe, you can get an easier and firmer erection when sexually aroused.
This does not mean that the erection lasts for 4-5 hours. If you experience an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours and is brought about by a lack of sexual stimulation or does not resolve after sexual activity, please seek medical attention immediately as that condition is a Priapism and it is a medical emergency that can cause permanent damage to the penis.
Although not everyone who takes Viagra will experience a side effect, some people do. The side effects of Viagra become more likely with increased dosage, please speak to your healthcare provider about what dose may be correct for you.

Cialis is a branded medication using the active ingredient Tadalafil as opposed to Viagra which uses the active ingredient Sildenafil.
Both these medicines increase blood flow to the penis by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5. This allows easier and firmer erections for men when sexually aroused.
Cialis has a longer timeframe of action as opposed to Viagra. Tadalafil stays active in the body for 36 hours after use, allowing easier and spontaneous erections during that timeframe. Sildenafil (Viagra’s active ingredient) only stays active in the body for 4-5 hours.
Viagra cannot be taken more than once a day and hence needs to be planned in a 4–5-hour window around sex, whereas Cialis can be taken once in 36 hours, allowing more spontaneity in one’s personal life.
Cialis also has a low dose form of the medication (Cialis Daily), which can be taken every day. This allows a steady stream of Tadalafil to always stay active in the bloodstream, allowing more spontaneity and ease in one’s sex life.
Despite its longer timeframe of action, Cialis, is more expensive than Viagra (see the table in our Cialis vs Viagra price section).
When choosing Cialis or Viagra, its beneficial to compare timeframe, price and side effects.
Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis. It can also be sold as a generic unbranded drug with the same medical effectiveness and safety profile as Cialis but being cheaper. Tadalafil has the same duration of action and the same safety instructions and side-effects as Cialis.
For a price comparison between Tadalafil and Viagra, visit the Tadalafil page at Meds For Less to check out the Tadalafil prices and compare them to the ones for Viagra.
Spedra (using the active ingredient Avanafil) and Viagra (Sildenafil) are both medications used to treat erectile dysfunction, however there are significant differences between both in terms of how they act, their timeframes, and onset of action.
Both Spedra and Viagra work by increasing blood flow to the penis, by inhibiting the enzyme, phosphodiesterase 5.
Spedra works faster than Viagra and can begin to act within 15-30 minutes whereas Viagra takes 30 minutes to an hour to begin showing effects.
Both Spedra and Viagra last in the body for 4-5 hours, allowing easier and more spontaneous erections in those timeframes, when aroused.
Spedra can be taken with or without food and its effectiveness is less limited by food or alcohol, (heavy alcohol usage can still limit its effectiveness).
Taking Viagra with a high fat or heavy meal can delay its onset and make it take longer to work. Heavy alcohol usage can also limit the effectiveness of Viagra.
The side effects of both Viagra and Spedra are similar, however the Spedra may have a lower incidence of side effects compared to Viagra due to its more targeted effect of action on the penis.
Sildenafil is the Generic unbranded form of Viagra. It has the same side effect profile and medical efficacy, however due to being generic Viagra it is cheaper than standard Viagra doses.
The difference between Viagra or Sildenafil is based mostly on price. Please see our webpage on Sildenafil, to compare prices.
Viagra is a not a treatment for premature ejaculation. It does not directly contribute to making men last longer in bed.
However, being able to treat erectile dysfunction can give men more confidence and reduce performance anxiety, which can help them last longer in bed.

In the UK, Viagra is approved for use for both men and women to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It works by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs which improved blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart.
For treatment of PAH, the doses are typically higher than that for erectile dysfunction (ED).
Viagra can be taken with alcohol, when taken in small or moderate considerations.
It is unlikely to interfere significantly with Viagra when taken in small or moderate amounts.
