Medical science has been actively fighting erectile dysfunction since 1998, from the very moment when men with sexual problems met Viagra. But time changes many things, including the methods and principles of treating the worst enemy of men – erectile dysfunction.
Before 1998, erectile dysfunction was treated with the help of surgeries, vacuum pumps and other not always effective but expensive drugs. But a breakthrough in medicine gave a chance for many men to feel healthy. The development of Viagra was a success in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and the drug became popular in medical practice.
Of course, Viagra had its advantages and disadvantages, for this reason, scientists continue to study medical science in this direction. The goal was to provide men with better results and minimize the possibility of negative consequences.
Four years after the first drug for erectile dysfunction was introduced, the pharmacists of the well-known company Eli Lilly presented the new drug, which in their opinion was much more effective, which was proved by numerous clinical studies. The new brand was named Cialis. Both these drugs and their generics can be ordered online in Canadian Neighbor Pharmacy.
Cialis medication. General information
Cialis is a brand of a drug substance called Tadalafil, used to treat erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil is also included in the formula of the drugs used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. In addition, it has been approved for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate enlargement.
Tadalafil, the active substance of Cialis, was invented in 2003, and is considered one of the few FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, since this drug contains components that have a strong pharmacological effect.
When Tadalafil was approved by the FDA, the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of the drug, patented Cialis brand. Soon the brand won the right to be called the most effective. Every year the sales of Cialis grew exponentially. Thanks to the new pharmacological features of Cialis, the treatment of erectile dysfunction has become even more effective.
From this moment, men have been able to maintain an erection for a long time (up to 48 hours). Currently, Tadalafil (Cialis) is a serious competition for drugs of this type – Viagra and Levitra, and in many countries men put Cialis in first place.
Cialis vs Viagra
Cialis increases blood flow to the penis, which allows a man to get a lasting erection. Although the drug is similar to its competitors – Sildenafil (Viagra) and Vardenafil (Levitra) – Cialis is known as a “weekend pill”, because its pharmacological action lasts up to 36 hours.

Customer reviews about Cialis from Canadian Neighbor Pharmacy
John: “I take Cialis about 2 years, I like it more than Viagra. First, I take a pill do not necessarily an hour before sex. I can take it in the morning and have sex in the evening, everything is fine. Well, maybe only an erection lasted not 3 hours, but only 2 hours. Believe me, this is enough. Secondly, Cialis has fewer side effects. With Viagra, I often had a headache, and after Cialis, I have no headaches. But this is individual, one organism better reacts to Viagra – Sildenafil, another – to Cialis – Tadalafil.”
Roland: “I should try Cialis, because I also have severe headaches after Viagra. Maybe because I have hypertension.”
David: “I ordered this generic drug from Canadian Neighbor Pharmacy. The price is affordable, why not experiment? The effect is super. The drug is active for 5 hours. My girlfriend was shocked! The most interesting thing is that the next day I had a spontaneous erection, not counting the morning riser. After this experiment, I decided to take Cialis once or twice a month, especially since it can be taken with alcohol. I will use your pharmacy and save discounts.”
Larry: “Unfortunately, I had to take Cialis from the age of 50. I tried many pills. As a result, I preferred generic Cialis because it is much cheaper. And I like the effect of Cialis more than that of Viagra. I feel better after Cialis, but after Viagra I had problems with digestion. In short, Cialis is my choice.”
Antonio: ” I also vote for Cialis. I have high blood pressure, and Cialis does not raise it as much as Viagra. The effects of the drugs are about the same, it’s difficult to single one out. However, the drug has some minuses – back pain and a stuffy nose.”
Lonnie: “I expected more from Cialis. Yes, erection lasted about two hours, but that’s all. No additional bright feelings and other things. In the end, I even tired of the girl. Yes, and she did not like the fact that we had sex for son long this time.”
Thomas: “But who told you that Cialis should give you bright feelings? Its purpose is to cause an erection and that’s it! And it works. And your feelings depend on you and your girlfriend. But you are right – erection lasts too long, and the girls often get tired at the end. My advice: reduce the dose, take one half a tablet, or buy lubricant if you want long and pleasant sex for both partners.”
Stephen: “I fully agree with you. Cialis improves potency – there are no complaints. I tried both versions – generic and an original drug. But generic Cialis from Canadian Neighbor Pharmacy is much cheaper. There are some side effects: a mild headache (sometimes), but it can’t be compared with the joy that you get thanks to these pills”
