Sildenafil and tadalafil are the two best-known treatments for erectile dysfunction. Both have a long track record, and both are sold as cheaper generics. The real question is often not which one is "better", but which one suits the way you live.

Sildenafil is typically taken about an hour before sex and works for four to five hours. A heavy meal can slow it down. Tadalafil, on the other hand, can last for up to 36 hours, and food has little effect. Plenty of men also take a low daily dose of tadalafil so they do not have to plan ahead.

For a side-by-side look, this practical guide walks through timing, food and side effects.

Safety first: never take either medicine with nitrate tablets or sprays for chest pain or with "poppers". Let your doctor know about any other medicines you take. Common generic cialis side effects are headache, flushing, a blocked nose and indigestion. Get urgent help for an erection lasting more than four hours or any sudden loss of sight or hearing.

Strength matters too. The licensed doses are 25, 50 or 100 mg for sildenafil and 2.5 to 20 mg for tadalafil. Bigger doses do not bring better results, but they do raise the risk of side effects. Stick to the dose on your prescription.

If you choose to buy generic sildenafil or tadalafil online, check the strength on the pack and keep the leaflet. A valid prescription is required for every order of a prescription medicine. There is more detail in this tadalafil and sildenafil guide.
