how long does Viagra & tadalafil last in bed
About duration of effect
Cialis is a long-acting medication. It has a slower onset but a much longer duration. Its effects typically last about 36 hours, but this does not mean continuous erection. Rather, it means that within this 36-hour window, it can work when sexual stimulation is present.
How long does it actually last?
Standard duration:
Generally lasts 24 to 36 hours, which is why it is often called the “weekend pill.”
Metabolism:
Tadalafil has a half-life of about 17.5 hours, which allows its pharmacological activity to persist for an extended period.
Viagra is a short-acting drug. It works quickly but has a shorter duration, typically lasting about 4–6 hours per dose. Because it acts fast, it is affected by food intake and is usually recommended to be taken on an empty stomach, although it provides strong erection quality.
Onset of action
Cialis (tadalafil) has a slower onset, usually taking 1–2 hours to take effect, and about 1 hour under fasting conditions for fastest absorption.
Viagra (sildenafil) works faster, usually within 0.5–1 hour, and can take effect in as little as 30 minutes on an empty stomach.
Food can delay onset, especially heavy meals or high-fat foods, which can significantly slow absorption and delay effectiveness.
