Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition where a lack of blood flow or nerve stimulation affects you getting and maintaining erections. It can be caused by a range of physical and psychological conditions like stress, anxiety, or depression. ED could also be the first sign of other health conditions too, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Erectile dysfunction is very common. It affects men of all ages, with 52% of men over 40 likely to experience it. The good news is treating ED is easy. Complete our free consultation in 2 minutes.

There are many causes of erectile dysfunction, and they can be both physical and mental. The primary cause for over 70% of people is usually a narrowing of the arteries in the penis, which may be caused by high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoking. Other potential causes include hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, cycling for long periods of time, and certain medications.

Erectile dysfunction treatments like Sildenafil and Tadalafil are known as PDE5 inhibitors. These treatments relax your blood vessels around the base of your penis, which improves your blood flow. This makes it easier to get and maintain an erection when you’re aroused.

Sildenafil (generic for Viagra) and tadalafil (generic for Cialis) are modern and effective treatments for erectile dysfunction. They help improve your ability to get and maintain an erection, but also feel more confident and satisfied with the hardness of your erections.

Sildenafil is a tablet that’s taken 30–60 minutes before sex. Its effects can last for up to 6 hours when aroused.

Tadalafil is a tablet that can either be taken 30–60 minutes before sex at higher strengths (10mg/20mg), or daily at lower strengths (2.5mg/5mg) if you don’t want to plan ahead. The effects of tadalafil can last up to 36 hours when aroused.

Sildenafil comes in three strengths: 50mg is usually the starting dose for men trying it for the first time. If it works but causes side effects, you can try a lower 25mg dose. If 50mg isn’t strong enough, you can try a higher 100mg dose.

Tadalafil comes in four strengths. If you’re planing to take in an hour before sex, men usually start with the 10mg dose to minimize side effects. If it works well, stick with it. If it’s not working after a few tries, you can increase to 20mg. If you want to take tadalafil every day for constant effects, men usually start with 5mg. If it’s too strong or causes side effects, you can try a lower 2.5mg dose.

Generic medicines contain the same active ingredient and are equally effective and medically equivalent to branded products, but are available at a lower price. Generic manufacturers have to demonstrate that they are medically identical to the branded product — in other words, they offer the same quality, strength, stability and effectiveness.
