So, we are well aware of the problem but what can be done about erectile dysfunction? There are numerous treatments available. These include counselling or sex therapy, using medication (such as Viagra<\/a> or Cialis<\/a>), using equipment to assist (eg a vacuum pump), undergoing surgery, injections, implants and suppositories, or trying out alternative therapies.<\/p>\n Your doctor can help you to decide on the best course of treatment for ED. They will look at certain factors before making a decision, such as any prevalent medical issues that you already suffer from and any medication you are already taking. You can also receive a secure and confidential online consultation with Dr Fox. Our GPs also work in the NHS and can provide you with an online prescription, and we\u2019ll have your medication sent directly to your door<\/a>, with your privacy respected throughout.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not always easy to pinpoint the cause of ED. Impotency caused by psychological problems (such as stress or depression) may need to be treated in a different way to impotency that is caused by physical problems.<\/p>\n Medication can prove a highly effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, with drugs such as Cialis and its generic form (tadalafil<\/a>) now widely available in the UK<\/a>. However, although medication will alleviate sexual problems in terms of facilitating an erection, it will not necessarily resolve any underlying psychological or physiological condition<\/a>, which is why it is important to consult your regular doctor before seeking treatment online.<\/p>\n In the UK, there are various drugs available to treat ED, there are big brand names that you will probably recognise and some of these also have a generic<\/a> (unbranded) equivalent. Branded medications and their generic forms offer the same content and effect, however, there is one difference that jumps out, and that\u2019s the price point; as you might expect, the generic (and less recognisable) ED drugs will cost you less than the branded medication.<\/p>\n Cialis and tadalafil (generic Cialis) stand out a little more than the other medications on offer. It takes a similar amount of time for tadalafil to start to work (around 30 minutes) but when it does, the effects last for much longer than other drugs \u2013 up to 36 hours \u2013 hence its nickname, the weekend pill<\/em>. Studies<\/a>\u00a0comparing sildenafil with tadalafil suggest patients and their partners have a preference for tadalafil.<\/p>\n Viagra, also known as ‘the little blue pill’, is well known as a medication that can help alleviate ED problems. The generic form, sildenafil, does the job just as well. It takes around 30 minutes for Viagra\/sildenafil to kick in and the effects last for around 4 or 5 hours.<\/p>\n Levitra (chemical name vardenafil<\/em>) usually induces an erection in around 30 minutes. A man taking this medication can expect the effects to last for approximately 4-5 hours.<\/p>\nGetting advice from a medical expert<\/h2>\n
