The problem of Erectile Dysfunction has been a major concern to men but science came to rescue men suffering from this condition with ED drugs like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis. Viagra was introduced in the market earlier before these other ED drugs. Millions of men have put their trust in Brand viagra as it has been effective over the years and now it has earned a good reputation. With time, generic viagra pills have been also introduced in the market and now men can make their choice of which drug to use. Below we focus on the both generic and Brand Viagra, their similarities, differences and side effects.
The thing that has been observed concerning the two types of Viagra is the fact that both work in a similar manner and the major difference is their prices. If they function the same way why the difference in price? Brand Viagra is backed by an expensive marketing campaign, the cost sustaining this campaign reflect in the final price. The other reason for this difference in price is purely a marketing strategy, consumers perceive value in terms of price, they believe the more the product is expensive the higher he quality of the product. This way the company behind Brand Viagra want to send a message to the customers that the Brand Viagra is of higher quality and this strategy has worked for a long time.
Both drugs can be purchased from local pharmacies and online stores. The pill can be purchased through the same process the only precaution the buyers should take is to avoid the online stores selling fake Viagra, other genuine dealers will deliver a safe and standard product.
Usage of the two drugs is similar. For effectiveness of the drug users are advised to take the pill on an empty stomach, this way the best results and a fast reaction is achieved.
The dosage of these drugs is prescribed by the doctor. The doctor indicates which dose is appropriate for different users. For the majority of men the appropriate dose is 50 mg, but depending on the health of the user and tolerance to the drug the dosage can be reduced to 25 mg or increased to 100 mg. For beginners 25mg is the recommended dosage and if good results are realised the user can take higher dosage if need be.
The side effects of these two drugs can be dealt with by the user with less struggle. The side effects include vision problems, stomach issues, headache, back pain and nasal congestion.
It is safe to take either Brand Viagra or the generic Viagra and they will work in the same way.
