What are erection pills, and how are they prescribed safely in Europe?

Erection pills explained: PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil, tadalafil, effectiveness, side effects, and medical screening.

In this episode, we outline how prescription erectile dysfunction (ED) medications work and how suitability is assessed during an online consultation in the EU.

You’ll learn:

• What PDE5 inhibitors are and how they improve blood flow to the penis

• The difference between sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis)

• How timing and duration of action vary

• Common side effects such as headache, flushing, and nasal congestion

• Why nitrates and certain heart conditions are contraindications

• When ED may signal underlying cardiovascular disease

• Situations where a prescription request may be declined pending further evaluation

We explain how doctors assess cardiovascular history, blood pressure, medication interactions, hormone factors, and ED duration before prescribing. Erection pills do not increase sexual desire and are not suitable for everyone.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where sexual health consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU prescribing guidance.
