Prescription Methods

There are multiple prescription methods available which are used to treat people who have issues with erectile dysfunction. You will find descriptions below outlining in great detail the differences between using Viagra, Tadalafil, Stendra and Levitra.

Viagra

Viagra is also known as sildenafil citrate is an incredibly well known prescription medication. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction in people who experience it naturally. Viagra is so powerful that it can also combat the negative sexual effects of anti-depressants and other strong substances which cause similar issues. There are some medications and substances which Viagra should not be mixed with.

Viagra was developed in England at Pfizer’s Sandwich in Kent. It was originally designed for people who have issues with hypertension and heart disease. When they first studied its effects in a professional environment in Morriston Hospital in Swansea that had found out that it caused erections in men. Rather than selling the product for hypertension and heart disease they decided that the appropriate market would be to people who were experiencing sexual performance issues. The patent for Viagra was accepted in 1996 and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially accepted as the first oral medication it to be used to treat erectile dysfunction in 1998. In 2008 Viagra gad made a total of $1.934 billion dollars.

In 1999, a presidential candidate named Bob Dole became a spokesman for Viagra after he had loss his election. He told Larry King “It is a great drug, I think we need to learn more about it. There are many men out there, millions of men out there, who suffer from impotence, and this may be the first step. I wish I’d have bought stock earlier.”

Michael Douglas a famous actor who has won Academy Awards, Peoples Choices Awards and Golden Globes mentioned Viagra in an interview when he spoke to David Letterman about being married to Catherine Zeta-Jones, a famous actress who is 25 years older than he is. He said “God bless her that she likes older guys, and some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years—Viagra, Cialis—that can make us all feel younger.”

Even Hugh Hefener the famous CEO who owns Playboy said to the New York Times “I don’t take a lot, but I take it when it’s called for. I make love a couple of times a week, and I take the Viagra when I’m going to be making love. I would say at 84 it helps. It’s God’s little helper.”

Viagra has been prescribed over 23 million times. The popularity of Viagra has led to it to be used by people of all ages, even though people who are as young as 18 years of age who are not suffering from erectile dysfunction issues. With the rise of sexual performance anxiety, taking a Viagra will help to increase a man’s penis size to its maximum length and girth. It will help to make him last as long as possible so the person is able to go for as long as they wish to. The rise in usage may also be cause by people believing it may help to increase their libido.

Kanter Media had reported that Pfizer the patented owners of Viagra had spent $176 million dollar in 2013 in advertisements campaigns which were spent mainly within the sports industry including through NFL broadcasts for pre and post-game shows.

Although with its increase in popularity it has recently had seen a drop in its revenue since there are other competitive or counterfeit products which may have a different range of side effects and can also be priced more affordably. It is often the case that medication from well-known brands are sold at 40 times higher than generic brands.

Within America, people are able to ask their doctors for free sample packs which allow them to try it before they pay for it. This is helpful if you would like to see whether the product will work for you. If the product does not work for you, you are then able to be prescribed a different brand.

It can be purchased in dosages of 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg. It is now available in a single sachet pack for convenient on the go use, so you are able to take it with you anywhere Viagra can only be taken once a day.

When Viagra was compared to the placebo effect, it was found that on average has a 72 to 85 percent chance of getting a harder and longer lasting erection when compared with a placebo pill which only has an average of 50%.

Viagra should not be mixed with medications which include nitrates, guanylate cyclase stimulators, alpha-blockers, HIV protease inhibitors, some oral antifungal medicines and some high blood pressure treatments. It should also not be taken if you are allergic to Sildenafil.

In 1991, a combination of two companies worked together (Flaxo and ICOS Corporation) to design Tadalafil. This company was known asGlaxoWellcome but has since changed its name to GlaxoSmithKline. The original medication was developed to treat heart disease but they later found out that it could also be used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Tadalafil was accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003 as a medication which is used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The erection is caused by blood which flows through the penis that fills into the vessels, the blood increases the size of the penis. When a man is aroused, he receives a higher level of nitric oxide which then produces guanylatecyclase and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) which increases or decreases the size of the vessels in the penis. In some people there is an enzyme which causes the cGMP to leave the body, Tadalafil is used to stop that enzyme from being produced so that the cGMP is able to build up within the body which may cause an erection to build and last longer.

Through their clinical studies that had found that a benefit to using Tadalafil when compared with Viagra was that it lasted for up to 17.5-hours half-life which totals to a maximum of 36 hours whereas Viagra should last for less than 4 hours.

Their marketing campaign is aimed is directed towards a man who wants to use the medication to treat erectile dysfunction so that their lover is able to set the pace in the bedroom. Whereas if you take other medications, you have to plan it in advance which can interrupt the natural arousal process. There slogan is “When the moment is right, will you be ready?”.

Brand Cialis were one of the very first companies to openly place their side effects in their marketing campaigns which were required by the FDA. Cialis had caused controversy when they paid the Super Bowl in 2004 for their advertisement to run with many people in the community complaining about it.
