4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to ensure safe and effective treatment. They look for specific criteria, including your overall health, medical history, and any existing conditions or medications that might interact with ED treatment. Generally, you may qualify if you experience consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse and do not have contraindications such as severe heart conditions, recent stroke or heart attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or are taking nitrate medications.

What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Erectile Dysfunction medications, primarily PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis), work by increasing blood flow to the penis. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually stimulated. These medications do not automatically cause an erection; sexual arousal is still necessary for them to be effective. They help your body's natural response to stimulation, making erections more reliable. They are not a cure for ED, but an effective treatment for its symptoms.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and mild visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious side effects are rare but can include sudden vision or hearing loss, or priapism (a prolonged, painful erection lasting more than 4 hours). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if your erection lasts too long, you must seek immediate medical attention and stop taking the medication. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor.
