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

Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess each patient to determine if ED medication is appropriate. They look for specific criteria to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. Generally, candidates are adult men experiencing consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The doctor will review your medical history, including any existing heart conditions, blood pressure issues, or other health concerns that might contraindicate the use of ED medications like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil). It's crucial to disclose all current medications, as some can interact negatively with ED treatments. Your overall health and specific symptoms guide the doctor's decision, always prioritising your well-being.

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

ED medications, primarily PDE5 inhibitors, work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated. They relax the blood vessels and allow more blood to flow into the erectile tissues, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. These medications do not create an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required. They are effective for most men with ED, regardless of the underlying cause (physical or psychological).

However, ED medication doesn't address the root cause of mental health-related ED, such as anxiety, stress, or depression. While they can improve erectile function, they won't cure underlying psychological issues. For best results, especially when mental health plays a significant role, a holistic approach combining medication with psychological support is often recommended. Realistic timelines mean you should expect the medication to work within 30-60 minutes for most types, and their effects can last from a few hours to over a day, depending on the specific drug.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, but rare, side effects can include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or a prolonged erection, you should seek immediate medical attention and stop taking the medication. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and contraindications tailored to your medical profile.
