What is inside the pack?, explained
Commercial versions described as a three-drug pack often include one commonly used strength of each agent per dosing line. A typical composition is:
- Cialis (tadalafil) 20 mg, commonly supplied in packs of 30 tablets
- Viagra (sildenafil) 100 mg, frequently available as 30 tablets per pack
- Levitra (vardenafil) 20 mg, often supplied in 30-tablet packs
All three medicines increase penile blood flow by relaxing smooth muscle in the penile arteries and corpus cavernosum. Important safety rule: do not take two different PDE5 inhibitors at the same time. See Situations that preclude therapy for urgent advisories for safety and restrictions.
