Sildenafil vs Tadalafil: Quick Comparison
The Drugs
Sildenafil (generic Viagra)
- Works for 4-6 hours
- Take 30-60 minutes before activity
- Better if you want it "on demand"
- Usually cheaper
Tadalafil (generic Cialis)
- Works for up to 36 hours ("the weekend pill")
- More spontaneous since the window is longer
- Can be taken daily at low dose
- Slightly more expensive but very convenient
Most men prefer tadalafil for the flexibility, but sildenafil works well if you're more planned about timing.
Services Offering Both
- Hims – offers both, easy online process, competitive pricing
- Roman (Ro) – offers both, strong medical review process, good reputation
- Keeps – offers both, straightforward and affordable
- GoodRx + local telehealth – can get prescriptions filled very cheaply at pharmacies like Costco or Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs
My Recommendation
Start with tadalafil daily (2.5-5mg) for ease of use, and use Roman or Hims for a smooth consultation process.
Always consult the prescribing doctor honestly about your health history.
