The Differences Between Erectile Dysfunction Drugs

BEWARE! Most drugs sold over the internet without
a prescription are either bogus or illegal!

Counterfeit medicines are on the rise as criminals worldwide capitalize on consumers who use the Internet to search for inexpensive drugs.

Seizures of bogus prescription medicines jumped 24 percent to 1,513 incidents in 2007, and illicit versions of 403 different prescription drugs were confiscated in 99 countries, according to the Pharmaceutical Security Institute, a Vienna, Va., group funded by 26 drug makers. The $3 billion in counterfeit drugs seized include generic copies that violate patent laws and products that lack active chemical ingredients or contain improper dosages.

In the decade since Internet sites began selling illegal copies of Pfizer Inc.'s erectile dysfunction drug Viagra, counterfeiters have diversified, marketing pills to treat heart disease, arthritis, asthma, AIDS and cancer, according to the institute, which has been monitoring product seizures since the group was formed in 2002.


For most people, having an active and healthy sex life is
essential and sexual health is increasingly becoming an
important factor for determining the overall quality of life.
Because this subject is more widely covered in the media, more
and more people are seeking guidance in an effort to improve
their relationships and experience more satisfying sex lives.

Sexual dysfunction is gradually becoming more prevalent for a
variety of reasons but mainly because the subject is discussed
more openly and men are now willing to admit there is a problem
and seek treatment. Recent surveys have suggested that 50% of
men have experienced some degree of erectile difficulty and 10%
have experienced complete erectile dysfunction (which is the
total inability to obtain or maintain an erection during sexual
stimulation).

So as erectile dysfunction becomes more widespread its only
natural that more and more men are turning to erection inducing
drugs as a way of combating the problem. The most common drugs
that are available on the market are Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis
(tadalafil), and Levitra (vardenafil). There are also many other
natural alternatives which are becoming more and more popular
because they can produce the same results but with little or no
side effects.

Since it was first released in 1998, Viagra has become the most
widely recognised therapy for erectile dysfunction and has had
massive publicity. It works by blocking an enzyme found mainly
in the penis and allows chemicals of arousal to survive for
longer and improves erectile function.

Viagra has been shown to work successfully for around 70% of men
who have erectile dysfunction and it works best if taken thirty
to sixty minutes before any sexual activity. The effects can
last for about six hours and only one tablet should be taken per
day. Because food can impair the effects it should be taken on
an empty stomach.

Its important to remember that Viagra doesn't improve erections
for men who don't suffer from any problems and its not an
aphrodisiac and will not increase sexual desire. Viagra will
only work if its accompanied with adequate sexual stimulation,
otherwise it will have no effect.

Cialis and Levitra are very similar and have the same effects as
Viagra but there are some subtle differences which can mean they
are better suited to the users needs. The main benefit of Cialis
is that the effects can last for thirty six hours or longer in
some men but it can take one or two hours for the effects to
start. The main benefit of Levitra is that it can be taken with
food but the effects will only last for about six hours.

Although these erection inducing drugs can help men overcome
erectile dysfunction they can also have various side effects
such as headaches, dizziness, indigestion, muscle pain, and
visual disturbances. This is why other natural alternatives that
have little or no side effects are becoming more widely used by
many men who suffer from erection problems.
