What effect do Viagra, Cialis and Co. have?

Effect: take sexual enhancers in good time

In order for the drug to work, it must be taken on time. "With Viagra and Levitra, it takes about 20 minutes for the effect to set in. With Cialis, one to one and a half hours must be expected," explains Bühmann. However, the sexual enhancers only work if the desire for sex is there. The pills alone don't make an erection: "They can intensify the body's reactions, but they don't trigger them out of nowhere. If you take sexual enhancers at work, for example, you won't feel any effect," says Bühmann.

Overdose causes longer erection

Potency drugs are also not suitable for patients whose heart cannot manage the five percent incline in a bicycle stress test.
