Who qualifies for ED medication
Our EU-licensed doctors review your case individually to determine if ED medication is appropriate for you. They assess your overall health, medical history, and any current medications. Generally, ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are prescribed for men experiencing difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. The doctor looks for underlying health conditions that might contraindicate these medications, such as severe heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or certain eye conditions. Your honesty in the medical questionnaire is crucial for a safe assessment.
What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)
ED medications, known as PDE5 inhibitors, work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated. This helps you achieve and maintain an erection. They do not increase libido or provide an erection without sexual arousal. These medications offer temporary relief for ED symptoms; they do not cure the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction. The effects typically last for several hours, allowing for spontaneous sexual activity within that window. It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that these medications are a tool to facilitate erections, not a permanent solution or aphrodisiac.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headaches, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. More serious but rare side effects include sudden vision loss or hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full information on potential side effects. If you are considering stopping ED medication because you believe your erectile function has improved, always consult with your doctor first. They can assess your situation and guide you safely.
