Choosing the Right ED Treatment: Sildenafil vs. Tadalafil
When choosing an ED medication, the best option depends on your lifestyle and how you plan to use it. At Inish Pharmacy, we provide the two most effective, HPRA-approved active ingredients:
Sildenafil (Found in Viagra Connect & Sidena)Sildenafil is the most common "on-demand" treatment for erectile dysfunction. It typically starts working within 30 to 60 minutes and remains effective for approximately 4 to 6 hours. It is ideal for users who want a reliable, short-acting solution.
Tadalafil (Found in Cialis for Men)Commonly known as the "weekend pill," Tadalafil provides a much longer window of efficacy. Once taken, it can stay active in the body for up to 36 hours. This allows for more spontaneity, as the timing of the dose does not have to be immediately prior to sexual activity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a prescription for Viagra Connect or Cialis for Men? No, you do not need a traditional prescription from your GP. You simply complete a short, confidential health questionnaire at checkout. Our Irish pharmacists review every order to ensure:
- The medication is safe for your heart health.
- You are not taking conflicting medications (like Nitrates).
- The dosage is appropriate for your needs.
Q: What is the difference between Viagra Connect and Sidena? Viagra Connect and Sidena are medically identical; both contain 50mg of Sildenafil. The difference lies primarily in the branding and manufacturer.
- Viagra Connect: The original, globally recognised brand from Pfizer.
- Sidena: A high-quality generic alternative that offers the exact same clinical results at a more cost-effective price point. Sidena tablets can also be halved.
Q: How do I take ED medication for the best results? For the highest efficacy, you should follow these pharmacist-recommended guidelines:
- Avoid heavy meals: High-fat meals can slow down the absorption of Sildenafil.
- Limit Alcohol: Excessive alcohol can decrease blood flow to the penis, making the medication less effective.
- Time it right: Take Sildenafil 1 hour before, or Tadalafil at least 30 minutes before.
- Sexual Stimulation: These medications are not aphrodisiacs; they require sexual arousal to work.
Q: Is the packaging truly discreet? Yes. Your privacy is our priority. All ED treatments are shipped in plain, unbranded cardboard boxes.
- No mention of "Inish Pharmacy" on the box or tape
- No mention of the contents or "Erectile Dysfunction."
