- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.
Who qualifies for ED medication
When considering ED medication, our EU-licensed doctors look for several key factors to ensure your safety and the treatment's effectiveness. They assess your overall health, current medications, and medical history through your online questionnaire. Factors like cardiovascular health, blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic conditions are carefully reviewed. The doctor determines if PDE5 inhibitors (like Sildenafil, Tadalafil, Vardenafil, Avanafil) or topical treatments (like Alprostadil cream) are safe and appropriate for you, taking into account any contraindications that might make these medications unsuitable.
What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)
ED medications, primarily PDE5 inhibitors, work by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps you achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. They do this by relaxing the blood vessel walls in the penis, allowing more blood to flow in when you are sexually stimulated. Medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) typically work within 30-60 minutes and last for 4-6 hours, while Tadalafil (Cialis) can last up to 36 hours. Alprostadil cream works locally within 5-30 minutes. It's important to understand that these medications do not cause an erection automatically; sexual stimulation is still required for them to be effective. They also do not treat the underlying cause of ED, but rather manage the symptoms.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, ED treatments can have side effects. Common side effects of PDE5 inhibitors include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances. Alprostadil cream may cause penile pain or irritation. More serious, though rare, side effects can include sudden vision loss, hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, you should stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and interactions based on your specific case.
