Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra are the most frequently relied upon medical aphrodisiacs in terms of increasing erectile ability in men.
These three types of drugs are useful for overcoming erectile dysfunction, such as impotence.
The following is a comparison of each of these drugs, starting from how they work, drug resistance in the body, interactions, and side effects.
- Differences in how they work
In general, these three aphrodisiacs work the same way. Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra contain a compound called PDE5 or cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5.
PDE5 is an enzyme protein that functions to relax muscles and increase blood flow in the body. This process helps produce a penile erection.
This PDE5 compound will react very quickly in the body. Therefore, it is a good idea to take your sexual enhancement drug 30 minutes to an hour before having sex.
- Differences in drug resistance in the body
Although they work the same way, Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra have different levels of resistance in the body.
Quoted from the Mayo Clinic, here is a comparison of each type of medical sexual enhancement drug.
Viagra. This drug with the active ingredient sildenafil is good to take one hour before intercourse on an empty stomach. The effects of Viagra can last for 4–5 hours or more.
Levitra. This drug with the active ingredient vardenafil is best taken one hour before intercourse. This drug works for 4–5 hours, but may last up to eight hours in men with mild or moderate impotence.
Cialis. This drug with the active ingredient tadalafil can be taken 1-2 hours before intercourse. With the same dose, the effects of Cialis can last up to 36 hours.

Although the names are different, the active ingredients in Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra work the same way. This makes the interactions and side effects almost the same.
In general, some fairly common side effects of aphrodisiacs include:
dizziness,
headache,
stomach ache,
nausea and vomiting,
back pain,
red rash on the skin,
stuffy or runny nose,
visual disturbances, and
irregular heartbeat.
Who can use these aphrodisiacs?
side effects of aphrodisiacs
These drugs cannot be used by just anyone. If your body is healthy and does not experience erectile dysfunction, you certainly do not need them.
However, if you suffer from erectile dysfunction, of course there are things to consider before choosing which aphrodisiac you will use.
To determine the right type of drug and prevent dangerous side effects, tell your doctor if you have the following conditions.
Are taking nitrate drugs (usually for people with heart disease), such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate, and isosorbide dinitrate.
Have had a heart attack, stroke, or serious heart rhythm disturbance in the last six months.
Have low blood pressure (hypotension) or high blood pressure (hypertension).
Have other chronic disorders, such as severe liver disease, kidney disease that requires dialysis, and congenital eye disease.
Cialis is the only type of sexual enhancement drug that is approved for use by people who also have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
You may also consider Cialis if you have frequent sexual intercourse. This makes your body always ready when sexual stimulation comes.
Meanwhile, Viagra and Levitra should be used by people who rarely or do not engage in regular sexual intercourse very often.
Viagra and Levitra should only be taken when you are about to have sex, but the use of these drugs must of course be under the supervision of your doctor.
