Navigating sexual health in your 30s can present unique challenges, with issues like erectile dysfunction (ED), decreased libido, and premature ejaculation being more common than you might think.

Our EU-licensed doctors review your case for just €25. If appropriate, you receive an electronic prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any EU pharmacy. No risk — if the doctor determines treatment is not suitable, you get your money back.

How it works — get your sexual health medication prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at **any pharmacy in the EU** (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for sexual health medication (Sildenafil, Tadalafil)

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including:

• Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
• Medical History: Absence of severe heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack, or certain eye conditions (e.g., non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy - NAION).
• Current Medications: You must not be taking nitrates (often used for chest pain) or alpha-blockers (for high blood pressure or prostate issues), as these can interact dangerously with ED medications.
• Overall Health: A general state of good health, free from contraindications that would make these medications unsafe.

The doctor's review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What medications like Sildenafil and Tadalafil actually do (and don't do)

Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) and Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis) are both phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused, helping you to achieve and maintain an erection.

• Sildenafil: Typically effective within 30-60 minutes, lasting about 4-6 hours. It works when you are stimulated.
• Tadalafil: Known for its longer duration, it can be effective for up to 36 hours. This means you can take it well in advance of sexual activity, offering more spontaneity.

These medications do not create sexual desire; they only assist with the physical aspect of achieving an erection when arousal is present. They are not a cure for underlying causes of ED but an effective symptomatic treatment. Always remember, the doctor will determine the appropriate medication and dosage if treatment is suitable.

Side effects and when to stop treatment

Like all medications, Sildenafil and Tadalafil can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary:

• Common side effects: Headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances (especially with sildenafil).
• Less common but serious side effects: Priapism (an erection lasting more than 4 hours – seek immediate medical attention), sudden vision loss in one or both eyes, or sudden hearing decrease or loss.

Always inform your doctor of any existing conditions and all medications you are taking. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop taking the medication and consult a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor account provides a private, auditable chat to discuss any concerns with your prescribing doctor.
