Cialis set to overtake Viagra?

Interestingly, Cialis sales appear to be growing much faster than Viagra:

One bright spot: Cialis sales in the U.S. were up 16 percent to $149.4 million. Pfizer's Viagra was up only 4 percent at $207 million. Looks like that once-a-day positioning is starting to pay off.

Viagra's been around much longer and has the name recognition, but Cialis has some advantages that shouldn't be overlooked. For one thing, it's much longer-lasting than Viagra (the Cialis folks claim 36 hours). You don't have to time taking the drug so closely to when you expect to have sex; that makes Cialis much more convenient for many men.

As the article alludes to, they are also suggesting that people take a lower dose of Cialis on a daily basis. That way, you'll be ready for whatever comes whenever.

Picking Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra depends on a lot of factors. First of all, some drugs may work better for some men than others. Secondly, how you use the drug, whether you take it with alcohol or how spontaneous your sex life is likely to be, can make a difference. Someone who has sex once a week on a regular schedule might be better off with a dose of Viagra as needed, while someone more active might find daily Cialis a better fit.
