Oral medications are a popular and effective treatment option for erectile dysfunction (ED), designed to enhance blood flow to the penis and facilitate an erection. They are often the first choice for many men due to their ease of use and effectiveness. These medications work by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which helps relax the blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penile tissues.
The most commonly prescribed PDE5 inhibitors include Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Avanafil (Stendra). Sildenafil typically becomes effective within 30 to 60 minutes and lasts for about 4 to 6 hours.
While these medications are generally well-tolerated, they can cause side effects. Common side effects include headaches, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and digestive issues. Rarely, severe side effects such as sudden vision or hearing loss may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
When using oral ED medications, it's important to follow the prescribed timing and dosage. Typically, these medications are taken 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. Your healthcare provider will help determine the appropriate dosage and medication based on your specific health profile and response to treatment.
