The Best Drugs For Erectile Dysfunction

In the contemporary age, the most powerful or even the best drugs for erectile dysfunction on top of most people mind are phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5) inhibitors led by the top three in the market - sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil.

These PDE inhibitors taken orally vary in their potential side effects and effectivity. The most common side effects with Tadalafil include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and stuffy or runny nose. However, these side effects usually go away after a few hours. Vardenafil, taken an hour before sexual intercourse, is recommended not to be taken more than once a day. For an erection to occur, some form of sexual stimulation must take place. Its most common side effects are headaches, flushing and stuffy or runny nose. The predecessor of the two mentioned drugs for erectile dysfunction - Sildenafil -- should be taken as needed anytime from 4 hours to 30 minutes before sexual activity commences. It should also not be taken more than once a day. Sildenafil most common side effects include headache, flushing of the face and upset stomach. Prior consultation with one doctor to rule out fatal drug interactions and adverse effects of any of the top three oral drugs for erectile dysfunction is of paramount importance.

I am inclined to cite natural supplements as the best drugs for erectile dysfunction, until I came up with a study published in the Journal of Urology showing that some natural products (or so they are marketed) actually contain phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. To unwitting consumers, these agents may have potentially fatal drug interactions with nitrates. It becomes apparent that the natural health products industry needs to be better regulated. To some extent, it also shows that to date, PDE5 inhibitors may indeed be the best drugs for erectile dysfunction.
