Oral medications are often the standard treatment for erectile dysfunction. For most men who have difficulty keeping an erection firm enough for satisfactory intercourse, these oral medicines work well and cause few side effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sildenafil, tadalafil,\nvardenafil, and Avanafil are oral ED medications that reverse erectile\ndysfunction by improving the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical\nproduced that causes muscle relaxation in the penis. This encourages blood flow\nand allows you to get a firm erection in response to sexual\nstimulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How ED medicines differ <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Although they work similarly, each Ed medicine has a slightly different chemical mechanism. These slight differences affect how each medication works, including how quickly it begins to act and wears off, as well as the possible side effects. Your healthcare specialist will consider these factors, other medical conditions, and possible interactions with other medicines you take.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sildenafil:<\/strong> This ED medicine is most effective when used\non an empty stomach an hour before intercourse. The effect lasts four to five\nhours if you suffer from mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tadalafil:<\/strong>\u00a0This medicine is taken before or after consuming food about one to two hours before engaging in sexual activity.<\/span> It stays in the bloodstream for up to 36 hours. It can be taken as needed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avanafil:<\/strong>\u00a0Another ED medicine, Avanafil, can be taken before or after consuming food, half an hour before intercourse, depending on the dose. It lasts for up to six hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vardenafil:<\/strong>\u00a0This drug is most effective one hour before sexual intercourse and can be taken before or after consuming food. A high-fat meal might keep it from being absorbed as quickly. The erectile dysfunction drug is effective for four to five hours or more if you are dealing with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. A new variety of medicine that dissolves on the tongue might work faster than swallowing a tablet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because all these medications have a similar mechanism of action, healthcare experts recommend that the choice be based on your preferences, including ease of use, cost, how long the medicine\u2019s effects last, and side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When oral medicines might not be\nsafe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before taking erectile dysfunction drugs, get your doctor\u2019s approval.
