ED Products - one works, one doesn't?

[Xtreme]

I was out in the Caribbean for a bit and was able to try both generic V and generic C. Although both were generic, the products seemed to have a very good reputation out there (I really don't have much experience with these products at all). I must say that the version of V worked absolutely like a charm! However, the version of C did not work at all -- I waited and waited for it to kick in, and nothing (whereas the V kick started in my system as advertised). I've been having some off and on issues with maintaining erections (late 30s, somewhat decent shape) and may be looking into the non-generic ED products more. My research seemed to indicate that regular C would be a great option if it was finally determined that these pills would be helpful. However, my experience with the generic version out in the Caribbean makes me think otherwise. The thing that confuses me is I thought these products worked essentially the same, so I am confused as to how one would work for me and not the other?  

1. Could it be the generics are "hit and miss" (i.e. some batches could be good, some not so good)? Again, people there swore by the versions I tried, so I don't know if that would be the case.
2. Are these products "fragile" when exposed to elements (i.e heat, air) and could that be a reason for one not to work?
3. Could your system simply respond better to one and not the other? I would have thought that could be the case, but everything I've read seems to indicate that they basically work the same--so both should have some effect on me (I'd think).

Thoughts?

Have had similar results with generics manufactured overseas quality control might be the reason you are having issues good product bad batch. If you can get a prescription in the states cialis has a 30 day for free offer so you can try it out.

Understood - but it was manufactured in the country itself and are known "brands" in the country. So different 'brand' name, but with the same active ingredient (Tadafil). Same concept applies I guess for general generics made in another country?

There is a great deal of fraud involved in production of medications sold outside the United States. The fact the label states it comes from a known manufacturer is essentially meaningless. The labels may be counterfeit. China, unfortunately, is a big source of these "make-believe" medications, which may contain anything but the product.
