Choosing the right medication depends heavily on individual needs and preferences. Let’s break down onset time, duration, and dosage for Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
Onset Time
- Viagra: Typically takes 30-60 minutes to become effective. Food can delay onset. Cialis: Can take effect within 30 minutes, but some experience effects sooner. Food doesn’t significantly impact onset time. Levitra: Usually starts working in 25-60 minutes, similar to Viagra in its sensitivity to food intake.
Duration of Action
- Viagra: Generally lasts 4-5 hours. Cialis: Offers a much longer duration, often lasting up to 36 hours (hence its nickname “the weekend pill”). Levitra: The duration is usually around 4-5 hours, comparable to Viagra.
Dosage
Dosage varies depending on individual response and potential side effects. Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Common starting doses are:
Viagra: 50mg Cialis: 10mg Levitra: 10mg
Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your response and tolerance. Higher doses aren’t always better and can increase the risk of side effects.
