Sildenafil, vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis) each have unique dosage recommendations. Begin by consulting your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs. Self-medicating can be harmful.
Sildenafil typically starts at 50mg, adjusted based on response and tolerability. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg. It’s usually taken about an hour before sexual activity.
Vardenafil’s starting dose is usually 10mg, also adjusted as needed, with a maximum of 20mg. Similar to sildenafil, it’s taken about an hour before activity.
Tadalafil offers a longer duration of action. The recommended starting dose is 10mg, taken as needed, but can be taken daily at a lower dose (5mg). Its effects can last up to 36 hours.
Here’s a table summarizing key differences:
| Sildenafil | 50mg | 100mg | 1 hour | 4-5 hours |
| Vardenafil | 10mg | 20mg | 1 hour | 4-5 hours |
| Tadalafil (as needed) | 10mg | 20mg | 30 minutes | Up to 36 hours |
| Tadalafil (daily) | 5mg | 5mg | Continuous |
