Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure ED medication is safe and effective for you. Generally, you may qualify if you experience consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The doctor will assess your overall health, including any existing heart conditions, blood pressure issues, or other medications you are taking, which could make ED treatments like sildenafil or tadalafil inappropriate. Your detailed medical questionnaire helps the doctor make an informed decision, ensuring your safety.

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

ED medications, primarily PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis), work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated. They do not cause an instant erection without stimulation. Instead, they help the natural process by relaxing blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow in. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. These medications are not a cure for ED; they treat the symptoms. They do not increase libido or protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common side effects for sildenafil and tadalafil include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and dizziness. Less common but serious side effects can include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, or an erection that lasts more than four hours (priapism). If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention. Always follow your doctor's instructions and stop taking the medication if you experience severe or concerning side effects, informing your doctor immediately.
