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 happen because of tiredness, stress or drinking too much alcohol. When the problem happens regularly, it may be connected to another physical or psychological condition.

How the treatments work

Sildenafil and tadalafil belong to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, commonly known as PDE5 inhibitors.

They help relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the penis. This can make it easier to achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually aroused.

These treatments:

Sildenafil usually starts working within approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Tadalafil may be taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity, and its effects can last for up to 36 hours. Individual responses vary.
