Facts about erectile dysfunction

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction - also known as impotence - is a condition in which a man struggles to achieve or maintain an erection long enough for sex.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

ED is a very common condition among men, affecting all ages. ED is particularly prevalent in men over the age of 40.

The causes of erectile dysfunction can be due to underlying physical, psychological or emotional factors. While the cause of ED varies from person to person, an estimated 80% of diagnosed cases are caused by an underlying physical condition.

Erectile dysfunction medication is recommended as a 'first line' treatment option by clinical experts and doctors to safely and easily treat ED.

Can erectile dysfunction be cured?

Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for erectile dysfunction. While there is no cure, ED can be easily treated with orally taken medication.

We offer a range of ED medication types and brands with varying active ingredients, strengths and dosage options to help you find the treatment that works best for you.

How does erection treatment work?

Orally taken ED tablets belong to a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.

PDE5 is an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of cGMP, a cyclic nucleotide that regulates blood flow to the penis. By preventing PDE5 from degrading cGMP, the increased amount of cGMP creates a vasodilator effect, widening the blood vessels and relaxing the muscles around the penis. This helps to increase blood flow to the penis, thereby helping men achieve or maintain an erection.

How long does it take for ED treatments to work?

ED treatments usually to take effect within an hour after ingestion and last for up to four hours (although in most cases it lasts around two hours). Some types of ED medication work become active in the body slightly faster than others, it's important to choose an ED treatment that works well for you.

What is the most recommended form of ED treatment?

Oral prescription medications are regarded as the go-to treatment for erectile dysfunction. ED tablets or pills are highly recommended by clinical experts as an effective treatment for ED.

To order ED treatment easily online, simply choose your ED medication and complete a two minute confidential consultation to get your treatment delivered discreetly to your doorstep.

When buying ED treatment online it's important to consider that while branded ED medications might be more well-known, unbranded versions work in exactly the same way and are often available at a lower price.
