Who, why, and what is the best Erectile Dysfunction Medication?

Cialis treats ED 50% faster than Viagra and levitra !

Cialis, Viagra and Levitra belong to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 or PDE-5 inhibitors. They work to relax the muscle that can block blood flow to the penis. Without this blood flow there is no erection. So if this muscle is not regulated, you get no ejection.

Cialis emerges as the winner as it can do what the other two can do but only faster and more effectively. A single pill can work as soon as after 16 mins and remains effective for up to 36 hours. It also lacks the visual side effects as that of Viagra.Viagra has the weakest profile: It has to be taken on an empty stomach, takes 30 minutes to an hour to react, lasts for 4 hours and its side effects include temporary changes in vision, headaches and flushing. Levitra is a slight improvement over Viagra: It can be taken with food, only takes 25-30 minutes to work, lasts up to 4 hours and has side effects at a lower incident rate.

Cialis Viagra Levitra : A Short Comparison

•  Works Faster
Cialis also works much faster than Viagra and Levitra . Cialis can work in about 16 minutes instead of half an hour to one hour taken by Viagra and Levitra to work.

•  No food and Alcohol constraints
Cialis and Levitra can be taken without food and alcohol constraints. You can eat whatever you want to while taking Cialis because food does not inhibit the effectiveness of the drug. With Viagra you're required to limit your consumption of fatty foods because it slows down the onset time.

•  Side Effects - Cialis Viagra Levitra
Cialis has no adverse side effects on vision or the heart. Viagra can cause some visual problems, including, an increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision, or an inability to tell the difference between blue and green. Cialis comes without some of the side effects that have been associated with Viagra. However, many men on the drug complained about 'facial flushing', others said it didn't work after a meal, while some complained that the drug turned their vision blue.

•  Lasting power
Cialis has an effective time of up to 36 hours after taking one pill. This is much longer than the four hours of Viagra and Levitra. So you get more sex out of Cialis.

•  Cialis is a better treatment option for diabetics!
Cialis works better for patients with diabetes. In clinical studies the effectiveness of Cialis in patients with diabetes did not decline. However, with Viagra, the effectiveness of the drug dropped by almost 50 percent!

Bothell-based Icos Corp. said sales of erectile dysfunction drug Cialis reached $108.3 million in the first quarter as nearly 2 million patients tried the treatment, but the joint venture selling Cialis said the net loss ballooned during the period. Icos developed Cialis in a joint venture with Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co., and received approval to sell it in Europe in February 2003. The company now markets Cialis in more than 55 countries, including the United States, where sales reached $32.8 million in the three-month period ended March 31.

In that period, Lilly Icos' net loss was $138.8 million, compared to a net loss of $43.1 million for the same period a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $195.1 million in the first quarter of 2004 from $42.4 million in the year-ago period. The increase is primarily due to sales and marketing costs associated with the U.S. launch of Cialis, and the fact that 2003 includes only a partial quarter of post-launch marketing and sales activities in Europe, the company said. "The Cialis marketing and selling investment is heavily front-ended relative to the expected revenue trajectory," the company said in a statement. "The Lilly Icos results reported today are consistent with our expectation ... that more than half of the 2004 net loss would occur in the first quarter." Icos said its marketing plan in the United States has been effective. Cialis has been adopted more quickly than Levitra, another new entrant that is attempting to wrest market share from longtime leader Viagra, Lilly Icos said. For the week ended April 2, Cialis captured nearly 20 percent of new erectile-dysfunction prescriptions written in the United States, and 11.1 percent of the total. Levitra reports 14.2 percent of new prescriptions and 10.3 percent of the total.

"We are delighted with the favorable response by physicians and patients since the U.S. launch of Cialis began, in late 2003," said Paul Clark, Icos chairman and chief executive officer.
