Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (also commonly referred to as impotence) is thought to affect millions of men in the UK. If you cannot get or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual activity, then you may be one of many men suffering from this condition. Erectile dysfunction can happen because not enough blood flows into the penis to cause an erection.

Side Effects
All medicines have the potential to cause side-effects and the same is true with erectile dysfunction medications. Users of the medicines may experience some or no side-effects, and to varying degrees, but there are some uncommon yet serious ones that you would need to be aware of, such as priapism. Priapism is a long-lasting painful erection that can cause permanent damage to your penis and would need to be attended to urgently. Our pharmacist is available to discuss the potential side effects with you and answer any questions you may have.
