WHAT WOMEN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THEIR PARTNER’S MEDICATION FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

When using ED medication, your partner must be sexually excited to get an erection. If he takes ED medication and is not sexually stimulated, nothing will happen. ED medication is not an aphrodisiac or a hormone. It’s a medicine that treats the physical problem of erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence.

SAFETY AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

ED medication has been shown to successfully treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in millions of men. But remember, no medicine is for everyone.

If your partner uses nitrate drugs, often used to control chest pain (also known as angina), he should not take ED medication. Since ED medication also reduces blood pressure, his blood pressure could suddenly drop to an unsafe level

Your partner should discuss his general health status with his doctor to ensure that he is healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If he experiences chest pain, nausea, or other discomforts during sex, he should seek immediate medical help.

Although erections lasting for more than four hours may occur rarely with all ED treatments in this drug class, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. Erections lasting longer than six hours can result in long-term loss of potency

Be safe. Make sure to protect you and your partner from sexually transmitted diseases

The most common side effects of ED medication are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less common are bluish or blurred vision, or being sensitive to light. These may occur for a short time
