How it works: get your erectile dysfunction medication prescription in 4 steps

2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your €35 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for erectile dysfunction medication

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to ensure your safety and the treatment's effectiveness. They look for specific criteria to determine if ED medication is appropriate for you. Generally, you qualify if you experience consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Key factors the doctor considers include your overall cardiovascular health, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or high/low blood pressure.

Contraindications: It is critical to inform the doctor about all medications you are taking, especially nitrates (often prescribed for chest pain). Combining ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis) with nitrates can cause a severe and dangerous drop in blood pressure. Alpha-blockers, used for high blood pressure or prostate issues, also require careful consideration. The doctor will assess these interactions to ensure the medication is safe for your specific health profile.

What erectile dysfunction medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Erectile dysfunction medications, primarily PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), and avanafil (Spedra), work by increasing blood flow to the penis. They do this by blocking an enzyme that breaks down a substance called cGMP, which relaxes blood vessels. This relaxation allows more blood to flow into the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.

It's important to understand that these medications do not cause an instant erection without sexual stimulation. They enhance your natural response to arousal. Each medication has different characteristics; for example, Cialis offers a longer duration of effect (up to 36 hours), while Spedra acts more quickly. The doctor will discuss which option, if any, is best suited for your lifestyle and health.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances. These are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, some side effects warrant immediate medical attention. You should stop taking the medication and seek help if you experience:

• A sudden loss of vision or hearing.
• An erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism).
• Severe dizziness or fainting.
• Chest pain or shortness of breath.

Always disclose your full medical history and all current medications to the EU-licensed doctor during your online consultation. This ensures they can prescribe safely and advise you on potential risks.
