No need to suffer in silence

A man can have persistent problems achieving or sustaining an erection, making it near-on impossible for them to have sex, for all sorts of physical and emotional reasons. In fact, today, 50% of men aged 40-70 experience ED. It’s commonly associated with high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, medicinal causes, post prostate surgery and lifestyle factors. Other reasons include stress, anxiety, tiredness and drinking too much alcohol. (1, 2, 3)

Erectile dysfunction doesn’t have to be permanent, although it can be experienced intermittently. The most important thing to do is to identify if there is an underlying medical condition that can be treated such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. However, although it’s very important to identify and treat these conditions sometimes the medication used can exacerbate the situation and make the ED even worse.   

There is help at hand though as ED is a condition that can be very simple to treat. Men can take tablets that can dramatically improve their erection. Sildenafil (the generic and cheaper version of Viagra) or Tadalafil (sold under the brand name of Cialis) are very successful at treating ED in the majority of men. 

Other medications include Levitra and Spedra. (1, 3, 4)
You may have to experiment with the different remedies available in order to find the one that suits you best.

Changes to regulations now mean that you no longer need to visit your GP to obtain an ED remedy, but you’ll still need to have an online consultation with a medical professional before you can obtain ED pills. It’s important to declare if you’re taking any other medications, especially nitrates which can have fatal consequences when taken with ED pills. This is because they may produce a fatal lowering of blood pressure. It’s also strongly advisable for anyone taking ED pills to read the patient information leaflet provided. (1)

Whichever Erectile Dysfunction medication is prescribed for you, it can be delivered the next working day, with a one-hour time slot to your door or at a designated pick-up point.
