Who qualifies for Erectile Dysfunction medication

Erectile dysfunction (ED) medications like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil, and avanafil are effective for many men, but they are not for everyone. Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each patient's medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate. The doctor looks for:

  • A confirmed diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction: You must be experiencing consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
  • No contraindications: Certain medical conditions (e.g., severe heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack) and medications (especially nitrates) can make ED medication unsafe.
  • Overall health: Your general health status, including any existing chronic conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease, will be assessed.

The doctor will determine if the medication is suitable for you based on a comprehensive review of your medical questionnaire.

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 you are sexually stimulated. They are not aphrodisiacs; they do not create sexual desire. You still need sexual arousal for the medication to be effective.

  • Mechanism: These medications inhibit an enzyme called PDE5, which leads to relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow to the penis.
  • Onset and Duration: Onset varies by medication, typically 30-60 minutes. Duration can range from 4 hours (sildenafil) to up to 36 hours (tadalafil).
  • Limitations: ED medications do not cure the underlying cause of ED. They provide a temporary solution. For optimal results, they are often most successful when combined with healthy lifestyle choices, as discussed below.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Erectile Dysfunction drugs can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances.

When to stop or seek immediate medical attention:

  • An erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism).
  • Sudden decrease or loss of vision.
  • Sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
  • Chest pain or severe dizziness.
  • Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).

Always follow your doctor's instructions and read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact a medical professional immediately.
