Who qualifies for erectile dysfunction medication
Our EU-licensed doctors look at several factors to determine if medication for erectile dysfunction is appropriate for you. This includes your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking. Common contraindications include certain heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack, and use of nitrate medications. The doctor ensures the treatment is safe and effective for your specific situation.
What erectile dysfunction medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Erectile dysfunction medications, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), and avanafil (Spedra), are known as PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. These medications do not cause an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required. They are not a cure for erectile dysfunction but effectively manage its symptoms for many men. Realistic timelines mean you typically take the medication 30-60 minutes before sexual activity, and its effects can last from a few hours to over a day, depending on the specific medication.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Typical side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. Red flags that warrant immediate medical attention include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism), or chest pain. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, stop taking the medication and consult your doctor.
