Erectile Dysfunction

About Erectile Dysfunction

ED is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection that is strong enough for satisfying sex.

And it’s very common. More than 50% of men will experience ED at some point in their lives.

While the root causes for ED are numerous, the result is almost always same: inadequate blood flow to the penis.

Erectile Dysfunction

Generic Viagra

Sildenafil is an FDA approved medication that treats ED by improving blood flow to the penis. The result is harder and longer-lasting erections.

Generic Cialis

Tadalafil is an FDA approved medication that treats ED by improving blood flow to the penis. The result is harder and longer-lasting erections.

Viagra vs. Cialis

Viagra and Cialis are both part of a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors. These medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis. Some men find that Sildenafil is more effective for them than Tadalafil, and vice versa. If one doesn’t work for you, you may need to try the other. 

Sildenafil (generic Viagra) can last for up to 4 hours and helps to prolong sex. Sildenafil takes 30 minutes or longer to be effective, which can be altered when taken with food. Sildenafil is used only on an as-needed basis before sex. Some men will experience flushing and/or headaches as a side effect from Sildenafil. 

When Tadalafil (generic Cialis) is used on an as-needed basis before sex, it can last for up to 36 hours. However, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours to reach peak effectiveness. While Tadalafil can take longer to reach its peak, it allows for greater spontaneity. Alternatively, Tadalafil can be taken in a smaller dose on a daily basis. Tadalafil is not impacted by food consumption. Tadalafil is less likely than Sildenafil to cause flushing and headaches.

Bremelanotide

Bremelanotide is an injectable medication used to treat low sexual desire in women, and erectile dysfunction in men.

Oxytocin

Often referred to as the “cuddle hormone”, oxytocin stimulates the desire for closeness and intimacy. It also increases arousal, improves sexual function, decreases anxiety, and facilitates stronger orgasms.

ED Cream

Applied topically to the penis just prior to sex, ED cream enhances sensitivity, thereby enhancing erectile function and sexual satisfaction.
