Cialis vs Kamagra Jelly
Cialis and Kamagra: same drug class, different nuances
Cialis and Kamagra are oral drugs designed to temporarily restore erectile function in men suffering from inability to perform sexually. Kamagra is a generic invariant of the universally recognized Viagra, and as such, contains the active substance which is identical to that of the original pill – sildenafil citrate. Cialis, on the other hand, is a drug based on tadalafil citrate - a substance that belongs to the same family of drugs but possesses a list of slightly different pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic features.
As has been mentioned above, both sildenafil and tadalafil belong to the same class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
Regardless of which active ingredient is, all of the PDE5 inhibitors work like Viagra. The four approved active substances are sildenafil (Viagra or its generic equivalent Kamagra), tadalafil (Cialis). All of these four drugs belong to the category of PDE5 inhibitors and thus prevent the effect of enzymes phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5). As a result, the blood vessels in the penis erectile tissue will widen and the blood flow promoted. In this way, all of these four active substances promote the appearance of an erection.
It doesn't matter if you get Viagra or any of the above options prescribed by a doctor, says Dr. Tony Gianduzzo, our medical consultant. The same applies to all preparations: the effect of PDE-5 inhibitors must always be preceded by sexual stimulation. In summary, the active substances do not differ in terms of mechanism of action or the fact that they are not aphrodisiac. Basically, there are only three main points when you are faced with the alternatives Kamagra vs Cialis that define the choice of the right ED drug:
- duration;
- time to effect;
- tolerance.
Viagra's toughest competition, Cialis
The principal competitor of the legendary blue pill Viagra is called Cialis and has been available since 2003. Made by Eli Lilly. Unlike Viagra, the effect of the active ingredient tadalafil already occurs after 15-30 minutes. In addition, many patients prefer the drug because of its long duration of action of up to 36 hours. It is therefore possible to be sexually active for several consecutive days after a single intake of Cialis. Compatibility depends, as is the case with other prescription drugs, largely on the patient's individual conditions and can thus vary. Patients often find that tolerance is good and the drug is considered to have few side effects.- Duration: 36 hours;
- Effect occurs: 15-30 minutes;
- Tolerance: considered good in the majority of patients.
It should be noted that Cialis, like Kamagra, often only works at the third or fourth dose. This is linked to the body's own processes that need to be adapted to the drug.
Kamagra Oral Jelly vs Cialis
Kamagra Oral Jelly is a sildenafil preparation available in the form of lozenges that dissolve much faster and get absorbed into the blood flow already in the mouth. This results in faster onset which is comparable to that of Cialis and occurs already in 30 minutes after the intake. The effect time remains typical for sildenafil, which is 4 to 6 hours.Another benefit of Kamagra Oral Jelly is its fruity flavor available in more than a dozen of editions. This is a significant advantage for those who are not fond of swallowing tablets.
