Who qualifies for ED medication
When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor online, they assess several factors to determine if ED medication is appropriate for you. They look for specific health indicators and potential contraindications. Generally, you may qualify if you are an adult male experiencing consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. The doctor will consider your overall cardiovascular health, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions such as:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Heart conditions
It is crucial to provide accurate information during the medical questionnaire, especially regarding any nitrate medications you may be taking, as these are a strict contraindication for PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil or tadalafil. The doctor's review ensures the treatment is safe and effective for your individual health profile.
What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)
ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are known as phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused. This mechanism helps you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. These medications do not create sexual arousal; they merely enhance your body's natural response to it.
Realistically, these medications begin to work within 30 minutes to an hour and can last for several hours (sildenafil) or even up to 36 hours (tadalafil). They are not a cure for the underlying causes of ED, but rather a treatment for the symptoms. They will not permanently increase penis size, enhance libido if there's no underlying desire, or protect against sexually transmitted infections. For best results, they should be used as directed by your doctor, alongside a healthy lifestyle.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, PDE5 inhibitors can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, and temporary visual disturbances (e.g., blue tint to vision with sildenafil). These are usually mild and temporary.
However, some side effects are more serious and require immediate medical attention. You should stop taking the medication and seek emergency care if you experience:
- A sudden decrease or loss of vision
- A sudden decrease or loss of hearing
- An erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism)
- Chest pain or severe dizziness
Always discuss any concerns or unusual symptoms with your doctor. Medical honesty is key to safe and effective treatment.
