Maximising the potential effects of male impotence drugs

Erectile Dysfunction is recognised as a common medical condition. In fact, over a third of all British men will suffer from some sort of erectile dysfunction (ED) at some point in their lives.

Since the introduction of Pfizer's 'magic blue pill ', Viagra in 1998, oral impotence drugs which induce erection have revolutionized the treatment of ED and men now have more choices than the daunting prospect of undergoing invasive procedures or simply suffering in silence. With ED treatments only a ‘mouse-click' away, it is important to know what treatments are available and how to maximise your chances of a full recovery.

Today, there are 3 oral impotence drugs available on the market, namely Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. These treatments work in a similar way as they all share the same active ingredient. However, they all retain slightly different qualities making them affect people in different ways and fit different situations. It is important for first time buyers to know what to expect and to understand that while there is a good chance of success, these treatments may not always have an immediate effect. It is also important to note that if your first choice of treatment does not work, it is quite possible one of the others may prove more suitable. It is therefore important to be aware of each prior to choosing which treatment best suits to you.

Viagra

lasts up to 4 hours ~ most potent ~ most side effects ~
dose can be repeated following day

Cialis

lasts up to 36 hours ~ most expensive ~
dose cannot be repeated for 2 days

Levitra

As the industry 's pioneer, Viagra may have the most brand recognition but as shown below, surveys of patients who have tried all three treatments suggest that there is no clear overall winner.

Once you have a chosen an impotence treatment, there are also important psychological factors which need to be considered. In order to embark on treatment with the right frame of mind, recognition of the fact that recovery is not as simple as swallowing a pill is crucial. A third of ED cases are due to psychological reasons, with the rest caused by physical conditions or more frequently, a combination of the two. The presence of ED will understandably cause some anxiety in a man which, in turn, will make it more difficult to get an erection next time �Eand so on. This performance anxiety' takes time to eradicate. It is therefore, important not to place yourself under any unnecessary stress when beginning to use the treatment and to allow time for your body to adjust to the sensation of having an erection again. To this end, use the treatment in a comfortable or relaxed surrounding, giving your body as much chance as possible to have a positive reaction . If treatment is initially unsuccessful try adjusting your dosage. If this doesn ' t work it may be time to consider changing to an alternative treatment.

The outlook for men with erectile dysfunction (ED) has improved enormously �Eso much so that almost all patients nowadays can be assured of a return to successful intercourse.
