rectile dysfunction or impotence affects more than 150 million men worldwide and has received widespread attention because of new drug treatment options. Before FDA approval of the first ED drug in 1998, the effective medical treatment was a penile implant. As with any surgical intervention, potential risks can occur such as infection or malfunction, so when ED drugs were introduced, surgical intervention fell by the waist- side. Since the introduction of Viagra, other ED treatments
have also been approved by the FDA, Cialis and Levitra. So which ED treatment is right for you? And what about those herbal supplements like Enzyte. Are they just as effective as the FDA approved meds, or are they a waste of money?
Viagra, Levitra and Cialis all work by a similar mechanism of action in which they stop an enzyme called PDE-5. PDE- 5 is a natural chemical in a chain of chemical messages that inhibit an erection. PDE -5 is more concentrated in the penis than any other part of the body. Viagra and Levitra also have a tendency to inhibit PDE-6, which some men report a slight bluish tinge to their eye sight, or increased light sensitivity. Cialis blocks PDE-11 which may cause Cialis’ most bothersome side effect, back pain.
The onset and length of action vary slightly with each drug. Viagra and Levitra can be taken 1 hour prior to sexual activity and usually starts to work within 30 minutes. The onset of Viagra can be affected by what you eat before you take it. Cialis and Levitra can be taken regardless of meals. Viagra lasts for about 4 hours and Levitra for about 5 hours. It has been reported that Cialis can start to take effect is as little as 15 minutes. The “stand out” feature with Cialis is that it can last up to 48 hours. Cialis appears to be the most versatile of the ED treatments because it gives men an increased window of sexual opportunity, up to 48 hours. So with Cialis you may get more “bang” for the buck! So if you plan on having a romantic getaway with your partner… this is the DRUG for you!
These are great drugs if you suffer from not having enough “wind in your sails”, so check with your doctor to see if you are healthy enough to take them. There are some contraindications you should be aware of before taking these drugs. If you have recently suffered a stroke, heart attack or an irregular heart rhythm within the last 6 months, you may not be able to take any of these meds. Also, if you have labile blood pressure, these drugs may not be right for you either. Your doctor will know if you can take these drugs, do not purchase these online! Side effects, although rare, can occur when taking these meds such as: upset stomach, flushing, back pain, nasal congestion, headache, and vision changes. If chest pain, rash/ itching, painful or prolonged erection (greater than 4 hours), seek immediate medical attention.
So what about natural male enhancement supplements such as Enzyte. First of all, the FDA does not endorse the claims made by these herbal manufacturers, and there are no studies to back up their claims. Fancy marketing spots on television showing “Smilin Bob” have enticed millions of men to purchase these “enhancement” products that may not work at all. The good thing about most of these supplements is that they usually offer a money back guarantee. Keep your receipt.
