Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are known to assist erections – how do they work, and are there side effects?
Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are all part of a group of medications named PDE5 inhibitors. They all work in a similar way by enhancing the life of chemicals in the penis that helps to relax blood vessels and enhance blood flow. Simply put, these drugs help increase blood flow to the penis, produce longer-lasting and firmer erections and require sexual stimulation before these medications go to work. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra have similar common side effect profiles with some differences. It is possible for a man to experience side effects with one of these drugs, and not with another. Some men don’t experience any side effects. If the doctor determines that these medications are safe for you, the only way to really know which treatment will produce the least side effects is to try it. Generally, you should try the medication at least 3 or 4 times before determining whether or not it is the right treatment option for you.
