Edguider Online Blog on ED, viagra, cialis and levitra

Although Viagra is the elder statesman among FDA-approved erectile dysfunction medications at the ripe age of 11 years old, it’s interesting to think about what would have happened if Viagra didn’t have a 5-year head start on Cialis.

Since it was approved by the FDA in 2003, Cialis has continued to take market share away from Viagra. In fact, Cialis has gained ground on Viagra somewhat consistently. The sales numbers for erectile dysfunction drugs at one popular online pharmacy back this up.

At eDrugstore.MD, where all three FDA-approved ED drugs are available (Viagra, Cialis and Levitra), the market share for Cialis increased from 25 percent of total sales in 2006 to 28 percent in 2007 and 31 percent in 2008. During this timeframe, Viagra’s sales dropped from 66 percent to 63 percent to 60 percent. Sales of Levitra at eDrugstore.MD have remained consistent over the last three-plus years at about 10 percent of the total ED medication sales.

It’s no secret among men who use ED pills that one dose of Cialis is effective for much longer than one dose of Viagra. That’s why Cialis is often described as “the weekend pill,” because it lasts for 24-36 hours, as compared to Viagra’s 4 or 5 hours. Since Cialis can often work for two nights instead of one, it’s almost like men are getting a 2-for-1 deal.

The price of Cialis online is only marginally higher than Viagra (less than 8 percent more), so all things being equal, there is definitely a value in Cialis over Viagra. Of course, all things are not necessarily equal because every man can have slightly different results with all three ED medications. That’s why it’s not a bad idea for men to try all three ED options to see which one works best for them.

And this, in a roundabout way, brings us back to why Viagra still maintains the lion’s share of the ED drug market. Many men have undoubtedly used Viagra since its inception, they like the results they’ve experienced, and they simply have no intention of trying anything else.

However, as more and more men seek out help for their ED for the first time, or decide to branch out, Cialis seems to be the choice for them. Learn more about Cialis online at eDrugstore.com.
