In addition to seeking penis enlargement methods, men are seeking a way to get an erection. This often is the case in men who are struggling with erectile dysfunction.

One treatment option for treatment of erectile dysfunction (failure to get or maintain an erection) is use of prescription drugs. More about your prescription options is presented below.

Your Options

The three major prescription erectile dysfunction treatments used today include Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. These medications are very similar but yet in some ways very different.

With that in mind, you may want to take a closer look at each. A comparison of these three medications is shown below:

Viagra-This is by and large probably the most popular choice still used today. It is mainly chosen because of its longstanding reputation. It works for most men who are healthy enough for sexual activity.

You may have heard of it as the medication called the “little blue pill” and it usually comes in the following dosage amounts: 25, 50, and 100mg sizes. The average duration of effectiveness is four hours. Pfizer is the original manufacturer and the generic name for this drug is sildenafil citrate.

Cialis-There is a very good reason why this drug is increasing in popularity. It is called the “weekend pill” because it lasts 36 hours. This provides for greater flexibility of play for men and their partners. It has been approved by the FDA and is manufactured by Lilly ICOS LLC. You recognize it by its yellow color and film coating with a big “C” imprinted on it. The dosage sizes are 2.5, 5, 10, and 20mg sizes and the base ingredient is Tadalafil.

Levitra-Bayer Pharmaceuticals makes this medication. It is round in color and is orange and you cannot mistake the large capital letters of “BAYER” imprinted on it. The generic name for this medication is Vardenafil HCl. The dosage sizes are generally 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg and the effectiveness of it is four or five hours.

Sometimes it is hard to differentiate among various penis enlargement methods. What do they do and how long do they last? Is the solution only temporary, and are these safe solutions?

Pills and Potions These are offered in varying concentrations and formulas, and may last up to three days. The objective of these is typically to help make an erection last longer and to make the penis appear “larger” as it does when “hard.”

Vacuum Devices This is a more mechanical way to enlarge the penis for a time. The main objective is to create a suction action which helps promote blood flow to the end of the penis.

This action is what makes it larger. A ring often is then placed on the end of the penis to help hold its erection. In this case, penis enlargement lasts for about 24 hours. Users need to be careful not to rupture blood vessels if using this piece of equipment.

Exercises Some forms of male enhancement exercises can help enlarge the penis. However, keep in mind that the penis is not a muscle. Yet, some men swear by routines such as “Jelqing” which is often described as “milking” the penis. Male kegel exercises as well as penis stretching seems to help in some cases, too.
