Consider your medical history. If you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes, discuss options with your doctor before starting any medication.
Think about the onset of action. Some pills work faster than others. If you need quicker results, choose a medication known for rapid effect. Others provide longer-lasting effects, ideal for maintaining performance over a longer period.
Side effects vary. Common side effects include headaches, flushing, and nasal congestion. Rarely, more serious side effects occur. Discuss potential side effects with your physician and weigh them against the benefits.
Dosage and frequency matter. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Never adjust the dosage without consulting your physician.
| PDE5 Inhibitors (e. g., sildenafil, tadalafil) | 30-60 minutes | 4-36 hours (depending on the drug) | Headache, flushing, nasal congestion |
| Alprostadil (injection or urethral suppository) | 5-10 minutes | 30-60 minutes | Pain at injection site, dizziness |
Cost is a factor. Generic versions of brand-name medications are generally cheaper. Explore options with your doctor or pharmacist to find the most affordable solution that meets your needs.
Finally, remember regular consultation with your doctor is key for managing erectile dysfunction and any related medications. Open communication ensures you get the right treatment and manage potential risks effectively.
