Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra belong to a series of drugs known as PDE-5 inhibitors that are believed to be helpful for impotence treatment.

As a result, erection happens easily, providing you should be sexually excited enough. These three drugs work only in the presence of sexual stimulation. Let’s discuss each of them briefly below.

The available strengths of Levitra are 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg. you should take only the recommended dose, about ten minutes to one hour before sexual activity. Levitra effects may remain active in the body for about 12 hours, during which you can have an erection at will, providing you add sexual stimulation to it.

Viagra vs. Cialis vs. Levitra

Priligy Dapoxetine – First Approved Pill for Premature Ejaculation

Also known as early or rapid ejaculation, premature ejaculation is a condition where a man ejaculates before his partner achieves orgasm in sexual intercourse. Premature Ejaculation is characterized by man’s inability to control or delay ejaculation.

Priligy Dapoxetine is the first pill with regulatory approval for such treatment.

This drug was originally developed as an antidepressant. The sex-extending properties of the drug initially manifested themselves as a side effect. On demand it was first approved by decentralized marketing authorization (European Marketing Authorization) procedure in few European countries Sweden, Austria, Finland, Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal in Feb 2009. But not yet approved in United States.

Applications for marketing authorization in other countries are under review in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, North America and Latin America and might take some time.

Drug had been issued the ‘Non-approvable’ letter by the FDA during October 2005. The FDA indicated that further research is required for addressing the questions with the medication before it is awarded the final approval. The FDA's concerns about the drug were not made public. Drug has not yet been approved by FD despite two further clinical trials completed in 2006. It is a thing of concern because it has already been rejected once. It is currently in phase 3 of FDA approval process.

Drug is soon going to be launched at 121doc.co.uk, one of the most trusted and genuine online clinic in UK. I will discuss more about this drug in my coming post.

Viagra Is Now Available Over The Counter

Viagra, the anti-impotence drug marketed by the world’s largest drug company Pfizer is now available over the counter. Boots, a British drug store chain, would now be selling Viagra over the counter. But the procedure is not that simple.

Before a man can purchase Viagra, he will have to undergo a consultation with a pharmacist where he would conduct a medical questionnaire, take a medical history with a series of blood tests, including checking glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Patients can come back for checkup and further supplies.

It can not be predicted what reaction to over the counter Viagra would be like because still most British men do not like discussing their erectile dysfunction problems and they find Viagra online availability far easier to get their problem solved.

What do you think about it? Please share your thoughts through comments.

Smoking – Men Vs Women

  1. Though there are fewer women smokers than men, this difference is continuously decreasing. Today there is very small gap left between men and women smoking rates.
  2. Studies say that smoking hurts women more than men. According to past studies, female hormones protect women against heart diseases lowering the chances of blockage. With smoking, there are increased chances of heart diseases in women. So, smoking may erase the natural advantage women have making it more risky for women than men.

Why Viagra over other methods of ED treatment?

Even after a decade of its launch, Viagra continues to remain one of the hottest selling drugs. The fact speaks volumes about the safety, efficacy and demand for the drug. The reason why Viagra became an instant hit when it was launched was the lack of treatment options for impotence. The other methods of ED treatment that existed before Viagra included use of vacuum pumps (makes use of a pump to cause erection), injections (administered at the base of the penis) and penile implants (requires surgery). These methods of ED treatment were understandably quite inconvenient and uncomfortable. No wonder, men with ED gave a warm welcome to Viagra and continue to buy Viagra and embrace the medicine as their preferred ED treatment drug.

Viagra over Cialis and Levitra
Viagra was the first in its class of ED treatment drugs and it enjoyed absolute monopoly for five-long-years. The drug became a favorite of men with ED as it renewed their sex life and gave a much needed boost to their self confidence. Viagra became a household name and a synonym for ED treatment drug.

After the success of Viagra, a new impotence treatment drug – Cialis – which works on the same lines as Viagra got approval. This impotence treatment drug lasts longer in the body than Viagra. The latest impotence treatment drug on the pattern of Viagra and Cialis is Levitra. It can be taken 10 minutes to one hour before starting sexual activity and its effects last for about 12 hours. But with launch of new treatments, popularity of Viagra remains unaffected and it is still the first choice by millions of men for their erection problems!
