What are generics? What generics are used as ED treatments?

Impotence (or erectle dysfunction)is the inability to attain an erection and maintain it long enough to have a sexual intercourse. This is a sexual dysfunction that affects literally millions of men, a lot of pharmaceutical companies have spent millions of dollars on the development of effective ED drugs. This is how brand name drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra appeared. The three are the most widely-known and sold male impotence medications at this time. Medications that have the same active components, work as quickly, are subject to the same approval process, but cannot be sold under the same brand names are known as generic drugs, or in our case generic ED drugs.

How do generic erectile dysfunction drugs work?

Since the generic erectile dysfunction drugs have the same active components as the brand-name drugs, they act in almost the same way. The most known are the so called PDE-5 inhibitors which "block" the PDE-5 enzyme. This is the enzyme that breaks down the chemical named cGMP, which controls the clonus of the soft muscles of the penile arteries. As soon as the PDE-5 enzyme is "blocked" the levels of cGMP rise, the soft muscles of the penile arteries' walls relax, and this in turn leads to increased blood flow to the penis area and easier to achieve erection. It is necessary to say that all these drugs do not lead to an "automatic" erection - an erection is only obtained in a natural way, after sexual stimulation.

Do the generics have unwanted side effects?

All chemical medications have side effects and the generic ED drugs are no different. Their side effects are the same as the side effects caused by their brand-name counterparts. You should know that impotence drugs are well-received by 97% of the men. Sometimes mild side effects as nausea, headache and others can be experienced while severe side effects have been reported by few men with pre-existing medical conditions.

Why should one buy generic impotence drugs?

The only question arises - why buy generics if you can buy the brand-name pills? After all, they are backed-up by the biggest pharmaceutical companies.

The answer is simple - you are buying the same drug under a different name for the fraction of the price. Sometimes generics cost only 10% of what the brand-name pills are sold for. Most of these pills are taken occasionally, but for those who keep taking them for years this results in significant saving. The price difference does not mean low quality - generics are cheaper because their manufacturers did not have to incur the costs associated with the development, research and massive marketing campaigns of a new drug. We repeat - generic drugs are NOT low quality fakes, they are products that comply with the high-standards as all other medicines and work extremely well!
