The advantage of using pills for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction pills are medicines that are used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Some common examples include:
1. Sildenafil (Viagra)
Mechanism of action:
-inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5), allowing nitric oxide present in the body to relax the smooth muscles of the penis. This increases blood flow to the penis, facilitating erection.
-dose and administration:
-it is usually taken about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. The typical dose is 50 mg, although it may vary according to individual need, with options of 25 mg and 100 mg.
2. Tadalafil (Cialis)
Mechanism of action:
-it is also a PDE inhibitor-5. It has a longer duration of action compared to sildenafil.
-dose and administration:
-it may be taken on demand, at a typical dose of 10 mg, or in a daily form of administration at a lower dose (2.5 mg).
3. Vardenafil (Levitra)
Mechanism of action:
-likewise, it acts by inhibiting PDE-5 to improve blood flow to the penis.
-dose and administration:
-the usual dose is 10 mg, and is usually taken about 1 hour before sexual activity.
However, these medications should be prescribed by a doctor, as they may have interactions with other medications and may not be suitable for all people, especially those with certain heart disease, blood pressure problems, etc.
