Starting ED treatment

Advice for those considering using ED tablets on prescription for the first time.

Using ED tablets for the first time

Trial of therapy advice

It is recommended you start with a low dose, and try the medication repeatedly at a low dose first.

When you find a tablet that suits you, stick to the lowest dose that produces a satisfactory result.

Viagra

There are three strengths: 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. Most men should start at the 50mg dose.

If this dose is ineffective after four administrations and attempts, and is otherwise well-tolerated, the dose should be increased to 100mg. The maximum tolerated dose should be tried on at least eight separate occasions before deciding that it is ineffective.

It is essential that the drug is taken at least forty five minutes and preferably one hour before attempting intercourse, particularly if it is taken within two hours of food. Sexual stimulation is necessary for an erection to develop with this drug.

Cialis

There are four strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. The recommended dose is 10mg taken between 30 minutes and 12 hours before sexual activity. Its effectiveness is not altered by food.

If 10mg doesn't work, the maximum dose of 20mg may be tried. This medicine may continue to work for up to 24 hours after the dose, so you shouldn't take it more than once a day.

Cialis should be tried on numerous separate occasions before deciding that it is ineffective. Direct sexual stimulation of the penis is required for an erection to develop with this drug.

Levitra

There are three strengths: 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. Most men should start at the 10mg dose.

If 10mg is ineffective, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 20mg. If 10mg is not tolerated, the dose should be decreased to 5mg.

Levitra should be taken about 25 minutes to one hour before attempting intercourse. It can be taken with or without food, but its effect may be delayed if it is taken with a meal that is high in fat.

It should be tried on multiple separate occasions before deciding that it is ineffective. Direct sexual stimulation of the penis is also required for an erection to develop with this drug.
