How it works: get your Erectile Dysfunction medication prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €35 consultation fee.

  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for Erectile Dysfunction medication

When you complete your medical questionnaire, an EU-licensed doctor assesses your health profile to determine if Erectile Dysfunction medication is appropriate for you. They will look for:

  • A clear diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction.
  • Absence of contraindications such as severe cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or certain liver or kidney conditions.
  • No concurrent use of medications that interact negatively with ED treatments (e.g., nitrates).
  • Overall good health status, ensuring the medication's benefits outweigh any potential risks.

The doctor's primary concern is your safety and ensuring the treatment is effective for your specific situation.

What Erectile Dysfunction medication actually does (and doesn't do)

Erectile Dysfunction medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are known as PDE5 inhibitors. They work by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, which increases blood flow when you are sexually stimulated. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse.

These medications do not cause an erection automatically; you still need sexual arousal for them to work. They also do not cure the underlying causes of ED but manage the symptoms. Realistic timelines for effectiveness vary: some work within 30-60 minutes, and their effects can last from 4 hours (sildenafil) to up to 36 hours (tadalafil). They are not aphrodisiacs and do not increase sexual desire.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Erectile Dysfunction treatments can have side effects. Common ones include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and temporary visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary.

More serious, but rare, side effects include sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than four hours (priapism). If you experience any of these, seek immediate medical attention. Always discuss any side effects or concerns with your doctor. You should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor if you experience severe side effects or if the medication is not producing the desired effect, as your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or suggest an alternative treatment.
