There are three main competitors on the ED drug market; there is Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra) and Tadalafil (Cialis. We have covered the differences between Sildenafil and Tadalafil in several articles and that is why we would like to compare Tadalafil with Levitra in this article.
These two medications have been introduced onto the market virtually simultaneously. Namely, Levitra was introduces sometime around September 2003, while Tadalafil was introduced several months after. At that point, it seemed that Tadalafil is at a disadvantage, seeming as the third wheel, so to speak, a latecomer that has missed its opportunity and whose introduction caused much less buzz than the introduction of Levitra. It seemed that Tadalafil is done even before it had its chance to say what it has to say.
And it turned out that it has a lot to say. It quickly became obvious that Levitra is not that different from Viagra in any aspect. Sure, there have been some improvements when certain side effects were in question, as the probability of these side effects occurring became smaller with Levitra. Also, Levitra was introduced as an improvement on Viagra when the duration of its effects are in question as well. However, this improvement could not be called dramatic, really. It added maybe one or two hours on the duration for which Viagra is effective.
Similar to that, it took people not very long to realize that Tadalafil is a whole different story. First of all, the marketing strategy was different, focusing on the partner and the satisfaction of the partner. It turned out that the reason for this was very simple. Namely, Tadalafil turned out to last significantly longer than the other two medications. In fact, it lasts four times as long as Levitra does, which is very, very important when the convenience and natural way of engaging in sexual activities are in question. All of a sudden, there was this medication that you could take hours and hours prior to sexual activity and it would still be effective. In addition to this, Tadalafil further decreased the chances of side effects occurring, making it the ultimate ED medication, not only superior to Levitra.
