What are the differences between the various ED medications?

Sheldon Marks, MD
There's three medications on the market. Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, the primary difference is duration. Cialis has a longer time that it's in your system. That's why they're marketing more of like a weekend product. The Levitra and Viagra are more like, take it now and have the benefit tonight and tomorrow. But there's different subtle differences, absorption with food, which one works for you? You may have one product that works great, and another one won't. So what we'll do is you'll come in, we'll try them on a product, several different trials over a period of time, if he doesn't get a result that he's satisfied with we'll try a different one. The magic of this is we've got three choices so we should have, one of the three should work for that guy.

Is there a time of day, do you eat it with food, without?

Sheldon Marks, MD
It depends on the particular product. Some are best on an empty stomach, some are best right before you want it, some you take before you want it and have the benefits last a few days.
