Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each case to ensure ED medication is safe and appropriate for you. They will look at your medical history, current health conditions, and any other medications you are taking. Generally, ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra), and avanafil (Spedra) are prescribed for men experiencing difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. Important considerations include:

• **Heart Health:** If you have certain heart conditions or take nitrates (medications for chest pain), ED medication may not be suitable due to potential dangerous interactions.
• **Blood Pressure:** Both very high or very low blood pressure can be contraindications.
• **Other Medications:** The doctor will check for interactions with all your current prescriptions, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
• **Overall Health:** Conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or liver disease will be evaluated.

The doctor's priority is your safety and well-being. If they find the treatment inappropriate, your consultation fee is refunded.

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

Erectile dysfunction medications, primarily PDE5 inhibitors, work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated. They do this by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. These medications do not create an erection spontaneously; sexual arousal is still necessary for them to be effective. They are not aphrodisiacs and do not increase libido.

Different ED medications have varying onset times and durations of effect:

• **Sildenafil (Viagra):** Typically works within 30-60 minutes and lasts 4-6 hours.
• **Tadalafil (Cialis):** Can work in 30 minutes and its effects can last up to 36 hours.
• **Vardenafil (Levitra):** Similar to sildenafil, with an onset of 30-60 minutes and duration of 4-5 hours.
• **Avanafil (Spedra):** Known for its fast action, starting in as little as 15-30 minutes and lasting up to 6 hours.

It's important to have realistic expectations. ED medication helps manage the symptoms of ED but does not cure the underlying cause. Consistent use, as prescribed by your doctor, often yields the best results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common side effects often include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances (especially with sildenafil). These are usually mild and temporary. Less common but more serious side effects can include sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than four hours (priapism).

You should **stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention** if you experience:

• Sudden decrease or loss of vision.
• Sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
• An erection lasting longer than 4 hours.
• Chest pain or severe dizziness.

Always discuss any concerns or side effects with your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor. They can advise you on managing side effects or whether a different medication or dosage might be more suitable.
