Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction cases have become very common among men, especially men over 40 years. It’s mostly nothing to worry about, although you should consult with your GP if it becomes a regular occurrence. It could be a symptom of something more serious. At Macks pharmacy, you’ll find a long-term solution for erectile dysfunction in London.
What causes erectile problems?
Every once in a while, some men fail to achieve or maintain an erection. This might be due to fatigue, stress, excessive alcohol intake, or anxiety. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a cause of concern, unless it happens more regularly. It might be as a result of emotional or physical issues, or both.
Treating erectile dysfunction depends on the cause
Most medical solutions for erectile dysfunction are generally affordable and should be effective as well. However, treatment options for erectile dysfunction vary depending on the cause.
Below are some of the treatments involved:
Possible cause | Treatment |
High cholesterol, high blood pressure, narrowing of penis blood vessels. | Medicine to lower blood pressure, statins to reduce cholesterol |
Hormone problems | Hormone replacement (for example, testosterone) |
Side effects of prescribed medicines | Replace the medicine after consulting with your doctor |
Some medicines such as Viagra (sildenafil), are sometimes prescribed by doctors for treatment of erectile dysfunction. You can get it at your local pharmacies for that reason.
Prescriptions are no longer required when purchasing sildenafil, thanks to changes in regulations. However, you’ll be required to consult with our pharmacist to ensure your safety before using it.
There are other medicines that can also be used in treatment of erectile issues such as Vardenafil (Levitra), Tadalafil (Cialis) and Avanafil (Spedra). But you’ll need a prescription for them.
