How Is Erectile Dysfunction Treated?

 

Some of the best-known treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) are Viagra and similar medications. It is important to understand that these are not magic pills but powerful drugs with limitations and risks as well as potential advantages. These drugs work for some but not all people, and can have strong side effects and negative interactions with other drugs.

If Viagra or the Viagra-like pills dont work for you or arent recommended, other treatments are available for you and your physician to discuss.
