Viagra Vs. Cialis Vs. Levitra: How And Why Choose
The winning trifecta of ED therapy – Levitra, Viagra, Cialis – are hugely popular molecules. But they say that nothing cripples your independent thinking as the abundance of choices. So how do you make sure you pick the right therapy? We have already given extensive and quite congenial coverage to the dilemmas Levitra vs. Cialis and Levitra vs. Viagra; please read these guides if you have your choice problem down to two alternatives. And these are only the classical editions of the three popular formulas – what to say about the diverse generics available for each of them in different drug forms! This article is a perfect place to start for those who are undecided as for all the three impotence pills.
Let’s start off by presenting the basic differences between the three drugs in a comparative table.

As can be seen from the above, every single pill has its own benefits and purposes. In this connection, we suggest that you talk to your doctor about the possibility of choosing either of the three molecules by a method of trial and error. For this purpose, you can use one of the so-called ED Trial Packs containing Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. Do not forget that you are not supposed only one ED pill for 36 hours.
You can choose your treatment based on the purposes of every separate occasion: for a weekend date, it is natural to take Cialis. For shorter dates, stick with the more precisely acting Levitra or Viagra.
If you are better off taking smaller doses of your ED drug every day and always be ready for impromptu sexual activity, Cialis Daily is your choice. The drug also has proven efficacy in gradual recovery from impotence, which means you might not require any medication to achieve erections in the future.
But if you have a known condition that works best with a particular ED molecule, like diabetes, your safer bet would be the drug with known efficacy in this condition (which in case of diabetes is Levitra). Levitra is also an obvious choice if you suffer from PE (premature ejaculation) and would like to increase your intravaginal latency time.
