Customer question:

Can erection pills be obtained in pharmacies? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Yes, erection pills, commonly known as erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs, can be obtained from pharmacies. Although many ED medications are available over the counter, the obtaining process often requires a prescription, and users should be aware of potential side effects and interactions. Always prioritize safety and professional guidance when considering treatment.

What causes erection problems?

Even twenty years ago, doctors explained impotence in connection with psychological problems and older men as a normal aging process. Today, medical opinion has moved away from both explanations. Indeed, it takes longer for the elderly to achieve an erection, but chronic impotence warrants a medical examination. The problem is very often of organic origin.

Erection occurs primarily at the level of blood circulation, so it is not surprising that in this age group of men, the most common cause of impotence is conditions that impede the flow of blood to the penis: these are, for example, atherosclerosis or diabetes. It can also be caused by damaged veins that prevent blood from flowing out of the penis too quickly. Other abnormalities, hormonal disorders, or certain operations can also result in impotence. A side effect of some drugs is that they inhibit the normal functioning of the nervous system. These drugs include a variety of stimulants, sedatives, diuretics, antihistamines, and drugs to treat high blood pressure, cancer, and depression. Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs such as marijuana can also cause impotence.

In younger men, psychological problems are the most likely cause of impotence. Due to poor communication between sexual partners or differences in sexual desires, tension and anxiety arise. Problems in sexuality can stem from depression, feelings of inadequacy, sexual fears, parental rejection, or childhood sexual abuse.

Is occasional impotence regular?

Most men occasionally fail to achieve or maintain an erection. This is usually due to stress, fatigue, or excessive alcohol consumption and is nothing to worry about. It can also be a side effect of some medications.

What do erection pills contain?

Erectile dysfunction pills contain active pharmaceutical ingredients in a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These drugs increase blood flow to the penis and facilitate an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

Here are the most common active ingredients found in prescription erectile dysfunction pills:

• Sildenafil: the first PDE5 inhibitor approved for the treatment of ED. It usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes and lasts about 4 to 6 hours.
• Tadalafil is known for its longer duration of action, lasting up to 36 hours. It is also available daily with a smaller dose for more spontaneous activity.
• Vardenafil: in terms of onset and duration of action, it is similar to sildenafil.
• Avanafil: has a faster onset of action, potentially working in as little as 15 minutes. The duration is similar to sildenafil and vardenafil.

Is impotence always a severe problem?

Impotence is not a life-threatening disorder but can be a sign of a more serious medical condition. Your doctor can help you find the best treatment option and advise you on correcting the underlying cause.

How successful is the treatment of impotence?

Almost all cases of erectile dysfunction are treatable, and treatment can improve overall physical and emotional health for almost any patient and improve intimacy for couples.
