  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 treatment

When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor looks for several key factors to ensure ED treatment is safe and appropriate for you. They assess your overall health, existing medical conditions, and any other medications you are currently taking. Important considerations include:

  • Cardiovascular Health: ED medications can affect blood pressure, so a healthy heart is crucial. Conditions like severe heart disease or recent heart attack may disqualify you.
  • Blood Pressure: Both very high and very low blood pressure can be contraindications.
  • Other Medications: Certain drugs, especially nitrates (used for chest pain/angina) and alpha-blockers, can interact dangerously with ED treatments, causing a severe drop in blood pressure.
  • Liver or Kidney Disease: These conditions can affect how your body processes the medication.
  • Eye Conditions: Rare but serious eye conditions can be exacerbated by ED medications.
  • Allergies: Any known allergies to the active ingredients (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil) are critical.

The doctor's goal is to ensure your safety and that the treatment will be effective without posing undue risk.

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

Prescription ED medications, such as Tadalafil (Cialis) and Sildenafil (Viagra), belong to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. These medications do not cause an instant erection; sexual stimulation is still required for them to work. They also do not increase libido or cure the underlying cause of ED, but rather treat the symptom. Realistic expectations mean understanding that while they significantly improve erectile function for many men, they are not a 'magic bullet' and individual responses vary.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headache, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, but rare, side effects can include sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, or if your erection lasts too long, you must seek immediate medical attention. Always inform your doctor if you experience any concerning symptoms, as they may advise you to stop the medication or adjust the dosage.
