Levitra Vs. Viagra

Psychologically, having sex is one of the basic needs of human beings. As much as we want food and water for survival, in the same way sex is also important for a healthy life. There may be many reasons why a person doesn't like to have sex or is unable to do so. Most of the time, it may be because of sexual disorders. Now, sexual disorders may be psychological or physical. But today, modern medicine is able to find a cure for almost everything. Over here, we shall discuss two major breakthroughs in the medical field for curing erectile dysfunction sexual disorders, which are Levitra and Viagra.

ED and its pills

If a man suffers from Erectile Dysfunction(ED), it means he cannot get an erection (or if he does, might be unable to sustain it for long) whenever he is aroused. ED is not that uncommon in men and can seriously hamper their sexual life and consequently, feel depressed about it. This is where the pills come in. What they basically do is help a man get an erection if or when he is aroused and sustain it till he ejaculates.

The thing is, all the sexual aid pills like Cialis, Viagra and Levitra perform the same function. They are all PDE-5 inhibitors, which means they resist or stop the build up of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5), a chemical in your body that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), the chemical responsible for muscle relaxation and a healthy erection. But what differs is the way they work on a chemical level and the minimum dosage required to get the job done.

Levitra
With the help of Levitra, a person can get an erection for the required amount of time. All you need to do is, just pop the pill before you wish to have sex. Before Levitra was introduced, to get rid of erectile dysfunction, a few invasive methods were used, like getting injections directly on the penis for erection or penile implants. Levitra has proved to be a wonder cure for erectile dysfunction as it is non-invasive and very effective too. Please note that if you take Levitra, you will not desire for sex because it is not an aphrodisiac. It will just help you to get erection when you are sexually stimulated.

Viagra
Viagra is also a drug which is used for treating erectile dysfunction. Viagra pill is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). There are many other fake pills out there which claim to be the genuine Viagra or a pill with similar effects. I would suggest stay away from these pills. The easiest way to identify which one is genuine is to check if 'Pfizer' is written on one side of the pill and on the other side 'vgr' which is followed by the strength of the pill in milligrams. Viagra is one of the most popular pills. But then, it is best advised to take it on prescription only.

Levitra Vs. Viagra Dosage

Different males have a different response to Cialis, Levitra and Viagra. For some, Viagra may be more effective, while it will fail to bring about an erection in a few others. That's why some doctors give a sample dose of all three to a first visitor, so they can try out each (with a certain gap between taking each of them) drug to see which one they respond to the best. Apart from that, there has been research to prove that Levitra is more effective than Viagra. Viagra is the drug that has stayed in the market for a long time now, so it is a trusted pill. Levitra is a relatively new pill, but shows more promise. In the average male with ED, Viagra takes about 30 minutes to take effect and lasts for 4 hours. Levitra takes 20-25 minutes to take effect and lasts for 24 hours in the body. Levitra is also shown to be less sensitive to food and alcohol intake, as compared to Viagra.

Since Levitra is a prescription pill. It is best to get an advice from a doctor before you decide it for yourself. Because the dosage depends upon your age and medical condition. Levitra comes in four dosages 2.5 mg, 5 mg,10 mg, 20 mg. For the start, a 10 mg tablet an hour before sex can be appropriate. If you're older, then you would require to take a milder dose. For example, for people older than 65 years old, they've got to take 2.5mg tablet. Hence, you've got to take tablets as per prescription. Tablets can also be take an hour, half and hour or even 15 minutes before sexual activity.

Viagra comes in 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg dosages. It is best to start with low dosage to see how does it go initially. Viagra pills must be taken maximum after 24 hours since the time you took the previous pill. It can be taken approx. an hour before sexual activity. You must not take Viagra if you are taking nitrates, as most of the time, it results in a sudden drop in blood pressure. People may experience loss of hearing, loss of vision for sometime after taking the pill. In case you experience chest pain, low blood pressure during sexual activity after taking Viagra you must be taken to a doctor immediately. Also if you get erection for more than 4 hours you must rush to your doctor.

Bear in mind that there are side-effect to both the drugs. The only way to ensure you don't get them is to stay healthy and keep the dosage to a recommended minimum.

Levitra Vs. Viagra Cost

As far as cost goes, a 20 mg pill of Levitra will cost you approx. $13 each and $6.50 for a 10 mg pill. Cost of a Viagra pill is approx. $14 for each 100 mg pill and $7 for each 50 mg pill. The best way to utilize them wisely is to purchase a high dose tablet and then cut it either in four or two pieces (as prescribed) using a pill-cutter.

Hope you now know the difference between Levitra vs. Viagra and can decide which one will be better for your sexual health. Just remember to go with your doctor's advice, and then you can be sure to live a safe and happy sex life. Cheers!
