Oral Medical For Erectile Dysfunction

Our oral prescription approach involves utilizing drugs that encourage increased blood flow into the penis, encouraging the smooth muscle mechanism which generates an erection.  Most men will respond very positively to the oral route, however, some men do not tolerate the prescriptions comfortably and some men suffer from a more severe condition and require additional intervention to ensure they can achieve complete satisfaction with their sexual function when it is desired.

Oral medications often start with a trial of a prescription such as Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis. These drugs cause the blood vessels supplying the penis to dilate (open wider), increasing the amount of blood flowing into the penis. Between 40 percent and 85 percent of patients will experience better sexual performance if they take the medication 45 to 60 minutes before sex. Some men do experience side effects, however. Common side effects include headache; nasal stuffiness; a blue-green tint to their vision; and flushing.
