Right now we have three ED drugs: Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil), and Cialis (tadalafil). Cialis is supposed to take about the same amount of time to work but to last longer. Levitra is supposed to work somewhat faster than Viagra and its effect lasts about the same amount of time. These are the general characteristics, but each person responds differently, and what you've had to eat and drink can also have a big effect.
There's a new drug on the horizon called avanafil. We don't have the "marketing name" yet; that's the generic name. The company developing this drug, Vivus, is claiming it works in only 15 minutes:
There's a new drug on the horizon called avanafil. We don't have the "marketing name" yet; that's the generic name. The company developing this drug, Vivus, is claiming it works in only 15 minutes:
Two-thirds of men who took a 50 milligram dose of avanafil were able to have intercourse within 15 minutes, the company said. The number increased to 69 percent for men who were given a 100 milligram dose and 72 percent for those given 200 milligrams. For men who took a placebo, the rate was 29 percent.They are aiming to go to market in 2012. We'll see how much room there is for a new drug, especially when Viagra goes generic, lowering its price. It should be fun to watch. We'll keep an eye on this drug as it develops.
