Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .

Mechanism of action of Viagra ,Cialis and Levitra is same except slight difference like effect of food on these drugs .

It is known fact and that it is very difficult to predict which of these drug will act and will be helpful in every patient as it differs from patient to patient hence one has to have trial of all these drugs before fixing up the suitable drug for particular individual.

Levitra is not available in my town hence i have never used it.

Thanks and Regards.
