subject: I Have Erectile Dysfunction - Now What? [print this page] In America, an estimated 18 million men older than 20 suffer from erectile dysfunction. Nearly 15 - 20 percent of men at least 65 years old are affected. To put this on a larger scale, three quarters of men will suffer from erectile dysfunction during their lifetime. To sum it all up, ED happens and it is nothing to be embarrassed about it.
While there is currently no cure for erectile dysfunction, there are a number of treatment options available to help get your sex life back on track.
PDE5 Inhibitors: These are the most effective form of prescription medication used for ED. Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors relax the smooth muscles to allow proper blood flow to reach the penis. This allows for an erection hard enough to last for penetrative sexual intercourse.
PDE5 inhibitors include LEVITRA, VIAGRA and CIALIS. Exact times vary depending from medication to medication, but many begin working in as little as a half hour after being ingested. Contrary to some beliefs, PDE5 inhibitors do not cause an erection independent of sexual stimulation.
It's important to note that there are currently no FDA approved generic forms of these medications available. Medications should only be purchased through a prescription and a medical assessment must always be completed to ensure that you will not have any major health complications as a result of taking medication. A consultation by a physician will also help determine if VIAGRA, CIALIS, or LEVITRA is best for you because different aspects of your life, such as your diet, can affect how the medication works for you.
Beware of any company or business selling PDE5 generics or discounted products in the internet. Never buy generic medications online without a prescription and consultation of a licensed physician.
