Who qualifies for ED medication
Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess your medical history through your online questionnaire to determine if ED medication like Sildenafil or Tadalafil is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including your overall health, existing cardiovascular conditions, blood pressure, and any other medications you are currently taking. Contraindications such as severe heart conditions, recent stroke or heart attack, or certain eye diseases would prevent a prescription. The doctor’s primary goal is your safety and well-being, ensuring the treatment is suitable for your individual health profile.
What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)
ED medications, such as Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis), belong to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. They work by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow when you are sexually aroused. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. These medications do not create sexual arousal; they only assist with the physical mechanism of an erection once you are stimulated. Sildenafil typically works within 30-60 minutes and lasts for about 4-6 hours, while Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours, offering more spontaneity. They are not a cure for ED but an effective symptomatic treatment.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances (especially with Sildenafil). These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects are rare but can include sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, or priapism (an erection lasting more than four hours). If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, or if your erection lasts longer than four hours, seek immediate medical attention. Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication and follow your doctor's advice. If you have concerns, you can always message your doctor privately through your Hi-Doctor account.
