Erectile Dysfunction Medication: Before and After Expectations

If you're looking to get a prescription for erectile dysfunction (ED) medication online, you've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your needs and, if appropriate, issue a valid prescription. Our online consultation costs just €35, and you can receive your prescription in under 24 hours. This prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU, making it easy to get the treatment you need quickly and discreetly.

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

  1. Fill out our online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the €35 consultation fee.
  2. A licensed EU doctor privately reviews your case. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €35 is refunded automatically — there's no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable 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 your medication.

Who qualifies for erectile dysfunction medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each case to ensure ED medication is safe and effective for you. They will look for factors such as your medical history, current medications, and any underlying health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. These can affect both the safety and effectiveness of ED treatments. The doctor will determine if medications like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), or avanafil (Spedra) are suitable for your specific situation. Your honesty in the medical questionnaire is key to a safe assessment.

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

Erectile dysfunction medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. They do not cause an erection automatically; sexual arousal is still necessary. You can expect improvements in your ability to get and keep an erection, but these medications are not a cure for ED. They manage the symptoms. Different medications have different onset times and durations: sildenafil and vardenafil typically work within 30-60 minutes for 4-5 hours, while avanafil can act in as little as 15 minutes. Tadalafil offers a longer window of effectiveness, lasting up to 36 hours, providing more spontaneity.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED drugs can have side effects. Common ones include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and mild visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. If you experience bothersome or persistent side effects, or anything unusual, you should contact a doctor. Rare but serious side effects include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours (priapism). If you experience any of these, seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor will discuss these risks during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
