Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate your medical history and current health to determine if ED medication like Sildenafil (Viagra) or Tadalafil (Cialis) is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including:

  • Your general health status and any pre-existing conditions (e.g., heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes).
  • A thorough review of all medications you currently take to avoid potential interactions.
  • Your specific ED symptoms and how long you've experienced them.
  • Contraindications, such as taking nitrates for chest pain, which can interact dangerously with ED medications.

The doctor's primary goal is your safety and ensuring the treatment is effective for your specific situation.

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. When you are sexually stimulated, these medications help relax the blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow in, which can lead to a firmer erection. They do not cause an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required for them to be effective.

  • Sildenafil (Viagra): Typically takes effect within 30-60 minutes and lasts for about 4-6 hours.
  • Tadalafil (Cialis): Known for its longer duration, it can be effective for up to 36 hours.

It's important to have realistic expectations. While highly effective for many, these medications don't work for everyone. Your doctor will discuss which option might be best suited for you.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and indigestion. More serious side effects are rare but can include a sudden loss of vision or hearing, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention.

Always discuss your complete medical history and all current medications with your doctor to ensure safety and prevent adverse interactions. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide full details on potential side effects and what to watch for.
