How A Prescription ED Treatment Can Work For You

Erectile dysfunction, or impotence, is common amongst men aged 40 and above. It is estimated that half of men aged 40 to 70 have some impotence problems. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get or maintain an erection during sexual intercourse.

The causes of erectile dysfunction and impotence may be physical, psychological or both. Physical causes may be due to a narrowing of the blood vessels going to the penis. This can be triggered by weight problems, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol. In turn, psychological causes may include relationship problems, stress or depression.

There are a number of widely used ED treatments for impotence. Tablets, which temporarily increase blood flow to the penis, are commonly used. These tablets are the prescription only medicines, Viagra (Sildenafil), Cialis (Tadalafil), Levitra (Vardenafil) and Spedra (Avanafil). Viagra and Levitra typically take 60 minutes before they work, and the effects may last up to eight hours. Before taking this prescription medication you should avoid heavy meals and alcohol, as these factors can impinge effectiveness. Cialis usually takes 30 minutes to work and can last up to 36 hours. Moreover, Spedra is fast acting and takes 15 minutes to work. You should only take one tablet within a 24 hour period and sexual stimulation is required for these tablets to work.

Alternative ED treatments include Caverject, Viridal and Muse. If tablets are not effective you may want to try Caverject or Viridal, which can be injected into the base of the penis. Caverject and Viridal contain the drug Alprostadil, as does Muse, which is taken by inserting a small pellet into the penis. A new alternative is Vitaros cream, which also contains the active ingredient Alprostadil. Vitaros is applied to the hole in the penis, and is an effective ED treatment if you have problems taking tablets.
