Never Apologize Again!

Generic Sildenafil works the same as Viagra®, but at a lower cost. While Pfizer® still manufactures the “little blue pill,” other companies, globally and in Canada, make sildenafil. It may look different, but it’s still an effective treatment for ED.

Neither the FDA nor Health Canada have approved Sildenafil or Tadalafil for women to use. However, it has been prescribed off-label for women with a low sex drive. Off-label drug use means a drug that’s approved by the FDA or Health Canada for one purpose is used for a different purpose that hasn’t yet been approved. What happens if a woman takes Viagra or Cialis? Just as these drugs help improve blood flow for an erection, it may improve blood flow in the female reproductive parts. When this happens, it may cause more sensitivity and stimulation, causing the person taking it to become more aroused.

There are many questions / answers that let you know if you should talk to your physician before taking any medication that helps with erectile dysfunction. We have listed the 6 that we believe provide the best direction for any decision concerning your sexual health. Visit “Are these right for Me?” for the full list.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common problem, and the risk of ED increases with age. However, it is not a normal part of aging. If you’re experiencing ED, it’s important to talk to your doctor, as it may be a symptom of other health issues.

A combination of emotional and physical factors influence sexual arousal. However, ED is most often caused by physical conditions, which may include any of the following:

• Heart disease
• Clogged blood vessels
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Sleep disorders
• Medication effects
• Smoking effects
• Pelvic surgery
• Other diseases

Psychological causes of ED can include stress, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions.

Several studies have demonstrated that lifestyle changes can improve and reverse ED for many men. Exercise, improved sleep, stress management, weight loss, quitting smoking and decreased alcohol consumption can have beneficial effects.

Despite the many jokes on television and in movies, it is very rare to have an erection for hours following the use of ED medication. The most common—and short-lived—side effects of our and other PDE5 inhibitors are headache, upset stomach and nasal congestion.
