VEDs vs. PDE5 Inhibitors: Which ED Treatment Is Right for You?

You're looking for an effective solution for erectile dysfunction, and you want to know if you can get Viagra or another PDE5 inhibitor quickly and discreetly. Yes, you can. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who review your case online. If treatment is appropriate, you receive an electronic prescription within 24 hours for just €25. This prescription is valid at any pharmacy across the EU, including Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, and Germany.

How it works — get your Viagra prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes). Provide your health details, just as you would in a clinic.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. Our doctors assess your information to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
  3. If appropriate, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription within 24 hours. Your prescription is delivered to your private account and by email, ready for use.
  4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy. Use your valid electronic prescription at your local pharmacy or any other across the EU.

Who qualifies for Viagra

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review your medical history to determine if Viagra (sildenafil) or other PDE5 inhibitors are suitable for you. They look for specific health indicators and contraindications. Generally, you qualify if you are an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction and do not have certain cardiovascular conditions, severe liver or kidney impairment, or specific eye conditions. It's also crucial that you are not taking nitrate medications or alpha-blockers. The doctor ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, always prioritizing your health.

What Viagra actually does (and doesn't do)

Viagra is a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually stimulated. It does not cause an instant erection without sexual arousal. Viagra typically starts working within 30 to 60 minutes and its effects can last for up to 4 hours. It helps you respond to sexual stimulation more effectively, but it doesn't increase libido or cure the underlying causes of ED. Many patients find it effectively restores their sexual confidence and function.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Viagra can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances. More serious but rare side effects include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Our doctors provide comprehensive information on potential side effects and when to discontinue use.
