ED medication is a common topic and people come here to learn what works, what’s safe, and how to buy drugs without getting scammed.

This page groups useful articles on erectile dysfunction and related sexual health drugs. You’ll find clear info on pills for erection, options for premature ejaculation, safety checks for online pharmacies, and practical tips for talking with your doctor.

Most ED drugs fall into two groups

The first group are PDE5 inhibitors — sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil, and avanafil. These help blood flow to the penis so you get and keep an erection when you’re sexually excited. They work differently in how fast they start and how long they last. For example, sildenafil usually works within 30 to 60 minutes and lasts about four hours. Tadalafil can last up to 36 hours for some men.

The second group covers treatments for premature ejaculation. Dapoxetine is the only fast-acting prescription pill approved in many places for this problem. It’s taken a few hours before sex and can help delay ejaculation. Our Duratia article explains how dapoxetine works, its usual dose, and possible side effects.

Thinking of buying ED medication online?

Be careful. Look for pharmacies that require a prescription, show a real physical address, and use secure checkout. Avoid sites offering wildly low prices or no doctor contact. Fake pills are a real risk — they may contain the wrong dose or dangerous additives. If an online pharmacy seems suspicious, check reviews, look for pharmacy certifications, and ask your doctor.

Common side effects of ED drugs include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, upset stomach, and temporary vision changes. Do not combine PDE5 inhibitors with nitrates or some blood pressure meds. That combo can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure — a medical emergency. Tell your doctor about heart disease, recent stroke, severe liver or kidney issues, and any other medications you take.

Practical tips before you try a drug: start with the lowest recommended dose, avoid heavy drinking, and test the medication in a safe setting. If a drug doesn’t work the first time, don’t immediately jump to a higher dose without medical advice. If you experience chest pain, sudden vision loss, or an erection lasting longer than four hours, get emergency care.

Lifestyle changes can boost results too. Losing weight, quitting smoking, cutting back on alcohol, regular exercise improve blood flow and can make ED meds work better. Stress, sleep, and anxiety matter — counseling or sex therapy helps when performance anxiety is part of the problem. Keep a symptom diary: note timing, dose, alcohol, and partner factors so you and your doctor can spot patterns and pick treatment safely.
