About
About erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction is a common condition. It occurs more frequently with age, affecting up to 50% of men aged between 40-70, and up to 70% of men over the age of 70. Causes include psychological factors, chronic diseases, medications, and low testosterone.
SwiftDoctor offers prescription erectile dysfunction treatment online, assessed and issued by UK-registered clinicians. ED medication is typically the first-line approach for most men, and oral treatments such as Sildenafil and Tadalafil are effective for the majority of cases. A short online consultation is all it takes to check your suitability, with your erectile dysfunction medication dispensed and delivered discreetly to your door.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
The best erectile dysfunction treatment for most men is a short course of oral ED medication, usually a PDE5 inhibitor such as Sildenafil or Tadalafil. These work by increasing blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation and are effective for the majority of men with ED. A SwiftDoctor clinician will confirm the most appropriate erectile dysfunction medication for you based on your health history and any other medicines you take.
Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) and Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis) are both PDE5 inhibitors used to treat erectile dysfunction, but they work for different lengths of time. Sildenafil is typically taken 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity and lasts around four to six hours. Tadalafil lasts considerably longer, up to 36 hours, and is also available as a daily low-dose tablet for men who prefer not to plan around when they take their ED medication. Your SwiftDoctor clinician can advise on which suits you better.
Most oral erectile dysfunction tablets begin to work within 30 to 60 minutes of taking them, though this can vary depending on the medication and whether you have eaten recently. Tadalafil tends to be absorbed more reliably after food than Sildenafil, which works best on an empty stomach or after a light meal. Starting with the right medication and dose for you is important, and your SwiftDoctor clinician will advise on this during your consultation.
Most adult men with erectile dysfunction are suitable for oral ED medication, but it is not appropriate for everyone. ED tablets should not be taken by men who use nitrate medicines such as GTN spray for heart conditions, as the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Your suitability is assessed during your SwiftDoctor online consultation, which covers your medical history, current medications, and any relevant health conditions.
ED is rarely an emergency, but it can sometimes indicate an underlying health condition such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal issues, so it is worth discussing with a clinician if it is persistent or getting worse. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience a prolonged, painful erection lasting more than four hours (priapism), as this requires immediate treatment. If you are unsure whether ED treatment is right for you, your SwiftDoctor clinician can advise during your online consultation.
