What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called ED, is when you regularly have difficulty getting an erection or keeping an erection for long enough to have sex.

Occasional erection difficulties can be associated with tiredness, stress or drinking too much alcohol. When the problem happens regularly, it may be connected to a physical condition, emotional wellbeing, a medicine or a combination of factors.

Persistent erectile dysfunction should not be ignored because it can sometimes be an early sign of another health condition. A prescriber may recommend a health check or further assessment by your GP.

How erectile dysfunction treatments work

Sildenafil and tadalafil belong to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, or PDE5 inhibitors. They help relax blood vessels and temporarily increase blood flow to the penis.

These treatments do not cause an automatic erection and do not increase sexual desire. Sexual stimulation is still required. They do not permanently cure erectile dysfunction and must be taken exactly as directed by the prescriber.

Sildenafil is generally used when required before sexual activity. Tadalafil is available as an on-demand treatment and as a lower-dose once-daily option. The time to effect and duration vary between people.

Who may be suitable?

This service is intended for men aged 18 or over who have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection.

Before prescribing, the clinical team will consider your symptoms, cardiovascular health, blood pressure, medical history, current medicines, previous treatments, allergies and whether further examination or investigation is needed.

The prescriber may decide that an online consultation is not sufficient. You may then be advised to contact your GP, sexual health clinic, urgent-care service or another appropriate healthcare provider.

Important medicine interactions

You must provide a complete and accurate list of every medicine, supplement and recreational substance you use.

Erectile dysfunction medicines can be unsafe with nitrate medicines for chest pain, riociguat and recreational poppers containing nitrites. They may also require special assessment with alpha-blockers, some blood-pressure medicines, certain antifungals, some antibiotics, HIV medicines and other erectile dysfunction treatments.

Do not take treatment prescribed for somebody else, and do not combine erectile dysfunction treatments unless a prescriber has specifically instructed you to do so.

Possible side effects and urgent warnings

Like all medicines, erectile dysfunction treatments can cause side effects, although not everybody experiences them.

Common effects can include headache, facial flushing, indigestion, nausea, a blocked or stuffy nose and dizziness. Tadalafil may also cause back pain or muscle aches.

Read the patient information leaflet supplied with your medicine and take it exactly as directed.

Looking after your general health

Lifestyle changes may improve erection problems and support your wider health. Helpful changes can include stopping smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, reducing excessive alcohol, avoiding recreational drugs, managing stress and getting enough sleep.

Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease. Consider arranging a routine health check if you have not had one recently.

When to speak to your GP

Speak to your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional if the problem continues or becomes worse, starts suddenly, is associated with reduced sexual desire, pain, penile curvature, urinary or testicular symptoms, or repeated treatment failure.

You should also seek further assessment if you have symptoms of diabetes, heart disease, a hormonal condition, anxiety, depression or relationship difficulties. Your prescriber may recommend further investigation before supplying treatment.
