Erection Tablets

Erection tablets, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED) medications, are prescription drugs that help treat the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. These tablets work by increasing blood flow to the penis, which allows for an erection to occur.

There are several different types of erection tablets available, including:

Sildenafil: Also known as Viagra, sildenafil is one of the most commonly prescribed ED medications. It works by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down cGMP, a chemical that helps relax blood vessels in the penis. This increases blood flow and helps to achieve and maintain an erection.

Tadalafil: Tadalafil, sold under the brand name Cialis, is another popular ED medication. It works in a similar way to sildenafil but has a longer half-life, meaning it can remain active in the body for up to 36 hours.

Vardenafil: Vardenafil, sold under the brand name Levitra, is a third type of ED medication. It works by inhibiting the same enzyme as sildenafil and tadalafil, and is also effective in helping men achieve and maintain an erection.

It’s important to note that these medications do not increase sexual desire and will not work without sexual stimulation. Additionally, they should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as they can interact with other medications and have potential side effects.

Common side effects of erection tablets may include headache, facial flushing, upset stomach, and nasal congestion. More serious side effects such as sudden vision or hearing loss are rare, but can occur.

If you are experiencing difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, talk to your healthcare provider to determine if an erection tablet may be right for you. They can discuss your medical history and potential risks and benefits of these medications.
