Viagra was introduced in 1998 and, being the first product of its kind, was extremely successful. ICOS Corporation has introduced a new product which is expected to surpass the incredible success of Viagra. The story does not end here, as another medication in this class is expected to be introduced shortly. It is generic called Levitra.

First it should be mentioned that sales of Cialis have risen to such heights that they are sure to surpass those that Viagra enjoyed in the late ’90′s. It is important to realize that approximately 30 million people in the United States and 75 million people in other countries are victims of erectile dysfunction, and very few of them use Viagra. Profits for this class of drug (including Viagra, Cialis and Levitra) have reached $6 billion, with Viagra raking in a profit of $1.5 billion.

As is the case with Viagra, Cialis increases performance, but does not treat the cause of the problem. We should understand how these medications work, as they are wildly popular and have such a positive impact on many people’s lives. These medications block phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that relaxes certain muscles, and this stimulates blood flow to the penis.

Additionally, as opposed to Viagra, Cialis is available by prescription in various European countries, such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, as well as in Australia, and it should receive approval in the United Sates, too.

In addition, one oft mentioned advantage of Cialis is that it works more quickly than Viagra does. Erection can be achieved within 16 minutes of taking the pill and can last for 24 hours or more. In contrast, it can take up to one hour for the effects of Viagra to be apparent, and they last for only 4 hours.

Similar to Viagra, approximately 80 percent of those who have used Cialis have been able to attain an erection and perform sexually, but in comparison to Viagra, the effects of the medication lasted for more than 36 hours. One possible reason for this is that Cialis remains in the body for a longer time than Viagra. It takes 4 hours for the blood levels of Viagra to fall 50 percent, while it takes Cialis as long as 17 hours. This means that as much as 25 percent of the original dose of Cialis remains in the body at that time.

In summary, due to its various advantages, Cialis has far surpassed the legendary Viagra. It is logical to assume that it is a superior product as compared to Viagra and this is why it is so popular.

Hopefully, things will continue to improve. Cialis is a new drug that is utilized in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and can be purchased for excellent prices.
