Sexual Health

Cialis vs. Viagra

Both treat erectile dysfunction as PDE5 inhibitors, but they differ in timing.

The main difference

Tadalafil (Cialis) lasts much longer — up to 36 hours — while sildenafil (Viagra) acts for a few hours. Cialis also has a low daily-dose option.

Choosing one

The right choice depends on your preferences, other medications, and health history. A clinician will help you decide.
