What are the medications that treat impotence?

Treatment of impotence or erectile dysfunction through medications should be done under close supervision of a doctor. Some people who suffer from impotence or erectile dysfunction tend to ask for this type of treatment because of its psychological effect on them prior to its medical effect. Because of the marvelous feedback of these medications in many cases people think that it is magic but, it should be administered with extreme caution and under medical supervision because of the bad side effects that it may cause in some cases.

The first medication that appeared in the markets to treat erectile dysfunction was Viagra, the active ingredient of this medication is seldinafile. This substance induces a firm erection for up to four hours in some cases but normally it induces a two hour erection session which is more than enough to get full satisfaction. The best thing about this treatment was its rapid onset as it starts to work after one hour of administration.

The new improvement for this medication was the tadalafile or what s called the Cialis. Cialis was produced through lily pharmaceutical company and this drug induces the same effect of Viagra but for a much longer period of time that could reach thirty six hours. The longer effective period enables the patient to take the pill a longer period before the courtship so the courtship could come spontaneously during the nest thirty six hours of administration.

Both medications are very safe in most cases but in cases of heart disease induced erectile dysfunction as it may develop some serious complications in such cases.

Both medications are expensive and they are considered prescription only medicine so they are not sold over the counter. Because of that firm restriction, other generic names appeared from the two substances and started to be sold through the internet and the seller claims that you do not need a medical prescription to buy these medications. The drugs sold this way could be dangerous as they are of unknown origin. They are much less in price so, this encourage lots of people to give it a shot but only those who consider it a psychological support had seen good results but with those who really need medical interference the effect of generic Viagra and Cialis was of great debate.

The conclusion is that even if the generic drugs are much less expensive but they are not as safe as the original ones so do not risk your health and take the original products only when indicated.
