What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is a relatively common condition If you cannot get or keep an erection firm enough for sex, you may have a medical condition called erectile dysfunction, also known as ED.

Although ED can affect men of all ages, it's more common in men over the age of 40. Men can experience symptoms in different ways:

  • Some cannot achieve an erection.
  • Others may achieve an erection, but it's not firm enough for having sex.
  • Or they may lose the erection before or during sex.

For some men with ED, it can be difficult to get or keep an erection every time they try to have sex. ED is a common medical condition that has nothing to do with masculinity.

How do these medicines help treat symptoms of ED?

It works by helping to increase the blood flow to the penis to help men get and keep an erection that lasts long enough for sex. It will not give you an instant erection. You need to be sexually aroused for either product to work. Both are proven to help men's self-esteem, confidence and sexual relationship
satisfaction.

These medicines will not help you if you do not have ED symptoms.

  • Your general physical health
  • Any medicine you might be taking
  • Any health conditions you may have

This is to confirm that you have ED and to decide if either product is suitable for you.
