Abstract
Aims
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a major care problem worldwide. Tadalafil and sildenafil are the two most common phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors used to treat ED. This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to directly compare tadalafil with sildenafil for the treatment of ED.
Methods
We designed a strategy for searching the PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science and Cochrane library databases; the reference lists of the retrieved studies were also investigated. A literature review was performed to identify all published randomized or non-randomized controlled trials that compared tadalafil with sildenafil for the treatment of ED and to assess the quality of the studies. Two investigators independently and blindly screened the studies for inclusion. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0.
Results
A total of 16 trials that compared tadalafil with sildenafil for the treatment of ED were included in the meta-analysis. In the meta-analysis, tadalafil and sildenafil appeared to have similar efficacies and overall adverse event rates. However, compared with sildenafil, tadalafil significantly improved psychological outcomes. Furthermore, the patients and their partners preferred tadalafil over sildenafil, and no significant difference was found in the adherence and persistence rates between tadalafil and sildenafil. Additionally, the myalgia and back pain rates were higher and the flushing rate was lower with tadalafil than with sildenafil.
Conclusion
Tadalafil shares a similar efficacy and safety with sildenafil and significantly improves patients’ sexual confidence. Furthermore, patients and their partners prefer tadalafil to sildenafil. Hence, tadalafil may be a better choice for ED treatment.
Introduction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual intercourse. ED is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions, and an estimated 5–20% of men are affected by moderate to severe ED around the world [1]. The prevalence of ED is approximately 15.77% in southern India, 15.0–49.5% in China, 56.1% in Iran and 58.9% in south-western Nigeria [2–5]. The estimated global prevalence has been increasing, and approximately 322 million men worldwide could be affected by ED by the year 2025 [6]. Although ED is a benign disorder, it can affect physical and psychosocial health and may have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients and their partners.
Currently, several treatment strategies are available for patients with ED, including non-invasive and invasive options. Oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) are the first-line therapy for ED [7]. PDE5-Is are similar to cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in structure; thus, PED5-Is can bind to PDE5 competitively and inhibit cGMP hydrolysis, leading to a penile erection [8]. Four PDE5-Is (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and avanafil) are currently approved by the US FDA and have comparable efficacy and side effect profiles [9]. Sildenafil and tadalafil are the two most common phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEIs) around the world. Sildenafil, the original PDEI, was introduced in 1998. Sildenafil has a quick onset of action of 30 min after the initial dose, a duration of action of 4–6 h and a maximum duration of 12 h [10]. Sildenafil is effective for the treatment of ED, although 20–50% of patients who respond to sildenafil discontinue its use [11]. Tadalafil is a selective, long-acting PDEI that was released in 2003. Tadalafil has an onset of 20 min and should be taken 30 min prior to intercourse; additionally, this drug has the longest duration of action in its class and a maximum duration of 72 h. A total of 52% of patients can have successful intercourse within 30 min of taking tadalafil [12]. Recently, several systematic reviews and meta-analyses have comparatively analysed the role of PDEIs, including sildenafil and tadalafil, in the treatment of ED. However, because most of these review articles were indirect comparative analyses, the differences between sildenafil and tadalafil remain unclear [13–15]. Hence, this meta-analysis was conducted to directly compare sildenafil with tadalafil for the treatment of ED and to provide guidance for the clinical treatment of ED.
Materials and methods
Search strategy
In January 2017, the PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, Cochrane library and Embase databases were searched for randomized or non-randomized controlled clinic trials of sildenafil and tadalafil. The search was performed by combining the term “erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction” with the following words describing the drug: tadalafil or Cialis and sildenafil or Viagra. We also searched for additional relevant studies by examining the reference lists of the selected papers and reviews. The search process was not limited by language, country or year of publication. The search strategy is presented in Fig. 1 .
Study selection
For the present systematic review, randomized or non-randomized controlled trials that met the following criteria were included: (a) the study included a comparison between sildenafil and tadalafil; (b) the study provided accurate data that applied to a meta-analysis, including the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)-EF domain, preference and treatment–emergent adverse events (TEAEs); and (c) the full text of the study could be acquired. When the same study was published in different journals or in different years, the most recent version was used for the meta-analysis. Abstracts, reviews and articles that did not contain accurate relevant data and a comparative analysis of sildenafil and tadalafil were excluded.
Quality assessment
Two independent reviewers evaluated all identified publications, and any disagreement between reviewers was resolved by a third reviewer. The methodological quality was assessed using the Jadad score, with a Jadad score ≥3 indicating a high-quality article [16].
Data extraction
Data extractions were performed by one reviewer and checked by a second reviewer. Information was extracted from the studies that met the above-mentioned inclusion criteria using a structured form. The first author, publication year, sample size, therapy that the patients received and assessment indices, including the IIEF, the men’s preference, the Self-Esteem and Relationship questionnaire (SEAR), total Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) scores and TEAEs, were collected for each study.
Statistical analysis
A meta-analysis of comparable data was performed using RevMan 5.0. Statistical heterogeneity between studies was assessed using the I 2 statistic. Pronounced heterogeneity was indicated by a P value ≤0.05 and an I 2 value ≥50%; in these cases, a randomized effects model was executed. A P value ≥0.05 and I 2 ≤ 50 indicated no obvious heterogeneity between the studies, and a fixed effects model was chosen for the meta-analysis. Continuous data are presented as weighted mean differences (WMDs), and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for dichotomy [both with 95% confidence intervals (CIs)]. Egger’s test was performed to evaluate the risk of publication bias. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the stability of the outcome when low-quality and highly heterogeneous trials were included in the analysis.
Results
Search results
A total of 1657 articles were identified through the electronic databases and the manual review of the reference lists of the included studies. Based on the search strategy, a total of 16 studies were included in the review [17–31]. A total of 5189 patients were recruited in the final meta-analysis, and the mean patient age ranged from 36.9 to 56.2 years. Seven articles were open-label, randomized, multicentre, controlled studies; nine of the studies had a crossover design; and the other studies were prospective and observational. All the studies compared sildenafil and tadalafil. The common instruments used to assess these two PDEIs (sildenafil and tadalafil) were the IIEF-EF, preference, TEAEs, adherence and persistence. The characteristics of the studies are listed in Table 1 .

Efficacy measures
A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the efficacy of sildenafil and tadalafil. No significant differences were found in the changes in the IIEF-EF between patients who used sildenafil and those who used tadalafil (random effects model: WMD: 0.03, 95% CI: −0.32 to 0.39, P = 0.85). The pooled mean effect size of the IIEF intercourse satisfaction result for tadalafil versus sildenafil was 0.45 (95% CI: −0.96 to 1.86, P = 0.53). Our analysis found heterogeneity among the trials, and a random effects model was adopted. Similarly, for IIEF overall satisfaction and IIEF sexual desire, the pooled mean effect sizes were 0.00, 95% CI: −0.03 to 0.03, P = 0.98 and 0.00, 95% CI: −0.02 to 0.02, P = 0.99, respectively; neither of these studies exhibited evidence of heterogeneity. Compared with sildenafil, tadalafil significantlly improved the SEAR Confidence (fixed effects model: WMD: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.04–1.45, P < 0.00001), SEAR Sexual Relationship (fixed effects model: WMD: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.32–1.72, P < 0.00001) and EDITS total scores (fixed effects model: WMD: 3.82, 95% CI: 3.63–4.01, P < 0.00001; Table 2 ; Fig. 2 ).

TEAEs
The most common TEAEs in patients treated with oral PDEIs included overall adverse events, headache, myalgia, back pain, dyspepsia, flushing, nasal congestion and nasopharyngitis. All the data were dichotomized, and ORs were calculated. For all studies, the random effects OR for the adverse events ratio of tadalafil versus sildenafil was 1.09 (95% CI: 0.89–1.34, P = 0.39), suggesting that the tadalafil and sildenafil groups shared a similar overall adverse events ratio. A total of 12 studies included headache data, and the pooled estimate of the OR was 0.97 (95% CI: 0.79–1.19, P = 0.77). The OR of myalgia for tadalafil compared with sildenafil based on the fixed effects model meta-analysis was larger (OR 4.89, 95% CI: 1.66–14.43, P = 0.004). Five articles contained back pain data, with no evidence of heterogeneity (I 2 = 0%, P = 0.44), and the pooled mean size for tadalafil versus sildenafil was 1.79 (95% CI: 1.06–3.02, P = 0.03). When comparing patients who suffered from flushing, significant differences were found between the tadalafil and sildenafil groups (fixed effects model: OR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.27–0.54, P < 0.00001). Other adverse events included dyspepsia, nasal congestion and nasopharyngitis, but no significant difference was found for these parameters between the tadalafil and sildenafil groups. The sensitivity analysis that excluded the above studies indicated that the pooled effect remained significantly different, and the direction of the forest plot did not change. Thus, the analysis results were stable (Table 3 ; Fig. 3 ).
Publication bias
Egger’s test was conducted to assess the presence of possible publication bias. No evidence of publication bias was found for the IIEF-EF, preference, overall adverse events, back pain, dyspepsia, nasopharyngitis, adherence and persistence (Egger’s test P ≥ 0.05). The Egger’s test results found publication bias for headache, flushing and nasal congestion (P ≤ 0.05). The other parameters were not evaluated using Egger’s test because only two studies included relevant data (Tables 2 , ,3; 3 ; Figs. 2 , ,3). 3 ). Study quality was evaluated with the Jadad scoring system, and the results are shown in Table 1 .
Discussion
According to a recent network meta-analysis published in 2015 that indirectly compared the efficacy and safety of PDEIs, sildenafil had the greatest efficacy but the highest rate of overall adverse events, whereas tadalafil had intermediate efficacy and the lowest overall rate of all adverse events [15]. However, our study, which differs from previous systematic reviews, is the first meta-analysis to directly compare the efficacy and safety of sildenafil and tadalafil. PDE5-Is selectively block the PDE5 enzyme, which catalyses the hydrolysis of cGMP to GMP and thus prolongs erectile function [32]. PDEIs are the most commonly used drugs to treat ED, and the effects of the PDEIs used to treat ED have been investigated. The IIEF is a widely used, validated and self-administered questionnaire that has demonstrated a high degree of sensitivity and specificity for the assessment of ED [33]. First, we used the IIEF to evaluate the overall efficacy of sildenafil and tadalafil. Previous studies reported that PDEIs were more effective than placebos for treating ED and were generally safe and well tolerated [13]. Interestingly, our efficacy analysis revealed that sildenafil and tadalafil had equivalent abilities to improve IIEF-EF scores. No significant between-group differences for tadalafil and sildenafil were evident for the IIEF sexual desire, IIEF intercourse satisfaction and IIEF overall satisfaction domains. This finding is somewhat unexpected and may result from differences in the distribution of efficacy profiles within the different treatment strata assessed. However, a high level of significant between-trial heterogeneity was evident across the articles included in this meta-analysis, and the time or dose of administration of the PDEIs was diverse. The sensitivity analysis based on various exclusion criteria did not alter the forest plot and pooled effect, which strengthened our result.
ED involves both physiological and psychological factors, and increasing importance has recently been attached to the psychological aspects of ED diagnosis and management [34, 35]. PDEIs can improve a patient ’ s sexual confidence both directly, via improved EF, and indirectly, via improved spontaneity and diminished time concerns. Tadalafil significantly improves EF among psychogenic ED patients [36, 37]. Furthermore, pooled evidence suggests that tadalafil improves psychological outcomes, including the SEAR Confidence and Sexual Relationship scores and the total EDITS scores, to a greater degree than sildenafil. The SEAR is a subject-reported measure of psychosocial outcomes in men with ED, whereas the EDITS is a reliable and validated questionnaire used to assess patient satisfaction with ED treatment [38, 39]. The study by Eusebio Rubio-Aurioles revealed that the time concerns domain score was significantly lower for tadalafil once a day (OaD) compared with sildenafil PRN (on demand) treatment (P < 0.001) [23]. Thus, tadalafil improves sexual confidence more efficiently than sildenafil.
The adverse event rate for PDE5-Is is greater than the rate for placebos, but PDE5-Is are generally well tolerated for the treatment of ED. The most common adverse drug reactions include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, nasopharyngitis and dyspepsia [40], which are reflections of the vasodilatory effects on the capillary smooth muscle in other parts of the body. A trade-off network meta-analysis published by Yuan J suggested that PDE5-Is were generally safe and well tolerated and found no major difference in the safety profiles [13]. A later systematic review revealed that sildenafil had the highest rate of overall adverse events and that tadalafil had the lowest overall rate of all adverse events [15]. However, our meta-analysis suggests that the overall adverse event rate of tadalafil is equal to that of sildenafil, although the specific adverse events differ. For instance, there is no significant difference in the incidence of headache, dyspepsia, nasal congestion or nasopharyngitis between tadalafil and sildenafil, but tadalafil is associated with a higher incidence of myalgia and back pain and a lower occurrence of flushing than sildenafil. Furthermore, we found that the adherence and persistence rates of tadalafil were equal to those of sildenafil, which may be due to the medications’ similar efficacy, safety and tolerability properties.
In this study, we found that the majority of the patients and their partners preferred tadalafil over sildenafil. Currently, there are several effective and safe oral PDE5-Is for the treatment of ED, and various factors that are important to both the patient and his partner, such as biological, social, psychological and/or cultural factors, will influence the treatment choices [29]. Current ED guidelines also emphasize that the assessment of ED treatment must consider the effects on patient and partner satisfaction, which include psychosocial outcomes as well as efficacy and safety [1]. Therefore, this analysis evaluated the psychosocial outcomes and drug attributes of tadalafil versus sildenafil and found that tadalafil could improve psychosocial outcomes, including the SEAR Confidence and Sexual Relationship scores and the total EDITS scores, more than sildenafil. A previous study suggested that time concerns appeared to play a role in patient decisions regarding the ED treatment type, and the study by Eusebio Rubio-Aurioles reported that significant improvements in the PAIRS time concerns were observed after baseline. The improvement in the tadalafil group was superior to that of the sildenafil group, indicating that men who took tadalafil felt less time pressure and a reduced sense of urgency and had to do less planning before and during sexual encounters compared with those taking sildenafil [23]. Additionally, the mean half-life of sildenafil is approximately 4 h, with demonstrated improvement in EF for up to 8–12 h post-dose; conversely, the mean half-life of tadalafil is 17.5 h, with demonstrated improvement in EF for up to 36 h post-dose. The different pharmacokinetic profiles of tadalafil and sildenafil profiles grant patients more freedom to perform sexual intercourse with less need to plan ahead [41].
We must acknowledge the limitations of this meta-analysis. First, the studies included in the present meta-analysis were randomized or non-randomized controlled studies, and the blinding methods of these studies were not described in detail. We noted that the studies had flaws in quality, primarily in terms of the study design, patient selection, blinding and outcome data; thus, the results of this meta-analysis should be interpreted with caution. However, the results were strengthened by the fact that most of the included studies were randomized, multicentre trials. Second, high heterogeneity of IIEF-EF, IIEF intercourse satisfaction, men’s preference, adherence and persistence was found; this could be explained by the inclusion of studies with a low sample size and the various timing or doses of the PDEIs. A sensitivity analysis based on various exclusion criteria did not alter the forest plot and pooled effect, which strengthened our results. Third, when examining the risk of bias table across studies, we found publication bias for headache, flushing and nasal congestion, which limited the stated conclusions. Hence, a large-scale, high-quality, randomized, double-blind trial should be included in the meta-analysis to provide good evidence for the selection of specific PDEIs for the treatment of ED in the future. A comprehensive assessment of biases, study quality and heterogeneity should be a routine component of systematic reviews. Although the methods may be hampered by issues such as a low number of studies, large effect sizes and the design of the included studies, comprehensive assessments allow the reader to be more confident that the evidence presented is robust and that simple causes of confounding have been considered and explored. Without such an assessment, the conclusions of a systematic review may be weak and could lead to the application of inappropriate practices in healthcare settings.
Conclusion
Tadalafil and sildenafil have been shown to exhibit comparable efficacy, safety and satisfaction for the treatment of ED, and tadalafil dramatically improved the psychological outcomes. The adherence and persistence rates for tadalafil and sildenafil were equal. Furthermore, both men and women preferred tadalafil to sildenafil for the treatment of ED. Thus, tadalafil may be a better choice for ED treatment. The findings of this meta-analysis will provide important evidence for the selection of PDEIs for the clinical treatment of ED.

Which drug for erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction pills have some differences, but price can limit your ED medicine choices.
What are the differences between erectile dysfunction drugs? About half of men ages 40 to 70 have erectile dysfunction (ED) to some degree, although only one in 10 report a complete inability to have erections. Taking an ED drug produces an erection sufficient to start intercourse in about 70% of otherwise healthy men.
Does it make any difference which of the four drugs for erectile dysfunction you take? “Yes, there can be differences,” says Dr. Louis Liou, chief of urology at Harvard-affiliated Cambridge Health Alliance in Boston. “For new patients, I have them try different ones to see what works best.”
Sildenafil (Viagra) is often the first drug your doctor offers. It’s been on the market longest and its side effects and the medications and foods it interacts with are well known.
But the main challenge to finding the best ED drug for you may turn out to be health insurance rules—not biochemistry. It’s a common practice among insurers to limit the number of pills you can obtain per month. After you hit your limit, the out-of-pocket cost for a single pill can be very high. “The main obstacle in my practice is the cost,” Dr. Liou says. You’ll need to work with your doctor to get the pill you need at a price you can afford.
What erectile dysfunction pills are available?
In addition to Viagra, other ED drugs available in the United States include avanafil (Stendra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra). These all improve blood supply to the penis. In combination with sexual stimulation, the drugs can produce an erection sufficient to initiate and complete intercourse. There is also a fast-dissolving form of Levitra, called Staxyn, that you put under your tongue.
One ED drug, Cialis, is FDA-approved for use daily in a dose of 2.5 or 5 milligrams. This helps to produce erections on demand and may also help relieve urinary problems, like difficulty starting urination, that result from an enlarged prostate.
Cost of erectile dysfunction pills
The cost to you for ED drug therapy varies considerably, depending on the pharmacy price, prescription co-pays, and your level of health plan coverage. Even if private insurance covers it, you may be limited to four doses per month. Here are a few things you can do to contain costs:
- Shop around, because pharmacy prices vary. Various web-based tools can help you compare prices easily. One of them is www.goodrx.com.
- Ask your doctor about pill splitting, where you get the pills at a higher dose than you need and divide them.
- Explore manufacturer discount programs. These allow you to obtain a limited supply of medications not covered by your insurance.
How well do ED pills work?
ED drugs produce an erection sufficient for intercourse in about 70% of men. But the results vary quite a bit from one individual to another. A man with nerves or arteries damaged by prostate surgery, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease will not respond as strongly to ED drugs. “There are some men in whom none of these drugs work,” Dr. Liou says.
How quickly do ED pills work?
How soon the drugs start working ranges from 15 to 60 minutes. Neither Viagra nor Levitra will work if you take them after a meal, which blocks their absorption. However, neither Cialis nor Stendra interact with food this way. The onset time determines how soon you can engage in intercourse. Stendra and daily-use Cialis are closest to being an “on demand” erectile drug; using the others requires more planning.
How to use ED pills properly
Dr. Liou says that some men come to him after getting a prescription from their primary care doctors, claiming that the drug doesn’t work. Sometimes it’s because they used it incorrectly. “The biggest misconception is that these drugs are an on/off switch for erections,” Dr. Liou says. But the drugs don’t work well without sexual stimulation. “During that time, you need to be with your partner and have foreplay,” Dr. Liou says. “Don’t take it, do the taxes or the dishes, and then meet at the bedroom thinking you’ll be ready to go. It’s not like that.”
How long do ED pills last?
The ED drugs break down at different rates in the body. The durations of action range from four hours to more than a day (for Cialis in the higher doses). Each dose should be sufficient to provide a full cycle of intercourse, from erection to climax.
“Will it last through another cycle? It’s not guaranteed,” Dr. Liou says. To have sex more than once a day, Cialis is your best bet.
What are the side effects of ED pills?
The most common side effects of ED drugs, in order of most to least common are headache, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, vision problems, diarrhea, dizziness, and rash. A man who has an erection that lasts four hours or more needs to get to a hospital or risk permanent damage.
None of the ED drugs is safe to take with cardiac drugs called nitrates because it could cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Drugs that many men take for urinary symptoms, called alpha blockers, can also lower blood pressure, so take them at least four hours apart from ED drugs. Your doctor may start you on a smaller dose of the ED drug if you already take an alpha blocker or may recommend the alpha blocker tamsulosin (Flomax), which affects blood pressure less.
Heart health and erectile dysfunction
ED is often an early warning sign of underlying cardiovascular disease, such as clogged arteries (atherosclerosis). “It can predate a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease by at least a few years,” Dr. Liou says. We don’t have strong proof yet that starting to live a healthier lifestyle can reverse erectile problems, but it can’t hurt.
