Oral medication for ED
There are a number of tablets available in this class, known as PDE5 inhibitors. Your doctor can explain the differences between these tablets.

These treatments are generally well tolerated, and work in the majority of men with mild to moderate ED. The tablets work by enhancing the normal sexual response, allowing greater blood flow to the penis.

A common misconception is that men will have a permanent erection while the medication is working this is not the case. They require sexual stimulation to work.

You should obtain these tablets on prescription from your doctor and purchase through your pharmacist for personal use only.
