Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the ongoing difficulty in getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex. It is a common condition that affects men of all ages, but becomes more common with age. ED can be occasional or persistent, and often has a treatable cause.
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by physical, psychological, or lifestyle factors. Common causes include reduced blood flow to the penis, stress, anxiety, low testosterone, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and certain medications. Understanding the underlying cause helps guide the best treatment.
ED treatment such as Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), and Vardenafil (Levitra) work by increasing blood flow to the penis. They block an enzyme called PDE5, which helps relax blood vessels and allows more blood to enter during sexual arousal. These medicines only work when you are sexually stimulated, they do not increase sex drive.

Yes, ED treatments can cause side effects, but they are usually mild and temporary. Common side effects include headache, flushing, blocked nose, indigestion, and dizziness. Serious side effects are rare, but anyone with chest pain, sudden vision changes, or a prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours should seek urgent medical care.
Most healthy adult men can use ED treatment safely, but they are not suitable for everyone. You must not take ED medication if you use nitrate medicines for chest pain or certain heart conditions. A healthcare professional will check your medical history, current medications, and any underlying health conditions, such as heart disease or low blood pressure, to make sure ED treatment are safe for you.
There is no single permanent cure for erectile dysfunction, but many men can reverse or significantly improve their symptoms by treating the underlying cause. ED linked to lifestyle factors, such as smoking, obesity, stress, or alcohol, can often improve with healthy changes. If ED is caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or low testosterone, treating those conditions can also help restore erections. For men with persistent ED, long-term treatments like daily tadalafil, injections, or penile implants may provide reliable results.
The latest treatment for erectile dysfunction is sildenafil spray. It is sprayed under the tongue and can work in as little is 15 minutes. The effects can last up to 4 hours.
Yes, you will need to complete a consultation, which will be reviewed by one of our pharmacists. If suitable, your medication will be dispatched in plain and discreet packaging.
Most erectile dysfunction treatment start working within 15 to 60 minutes and help you achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually aroused. You will not get an instant or automatic erection, stimulation is still required. Common effects include improved erection firmness and confidence during sex. Mild side effects, such as headache or flushing, may occur but usually pass quickly.
The best ED treatment depends on how quickly you want it to work, how long you want it to last, and your medical history.
A healthcare professional can recommend the most suitable option based on your health, lifestyle, and any medications you take.
Yes, if one ED treatment does not work well for you, your doctor or pharmacist may recommend trying a different medication or adjusting the dose. Some men respond better to tadalafil than sildenafil, or vice-versa. You should never mix different ED treatment in the same day unless advised by a healthcare professional.
No, ED treatments such as Viagra, Sildenafil, and Cialis 10 mg or 20 mg should only be taken once in a 24-hour period. Taking more than one dose can increase the risk of side effects, including dangerously low blood pressure. If you need ongoing support, a daily low-dose tadalafil treatment may be a better option.
No, ED treatments can help you achieve and maintain an erection, but they do not keep you hard after ejaculation. Most men naturally lose their erection after climax. However, medications like tadalafil may make it easier to get another erection sooner if you are still aroused.
