We provide a confidential, professional service to help you manage ED effectively, restoring confidence, intimacy and quality of life.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called impotence, is the ongoing inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity.
It affects around half of men aged between 40 and 70 years but can occur at any age.
An erection involves complex interactions between the brain, hormones, blood vessels and nerves – so anything that interferes with these processes can cause problems.

Common Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

• Physical health factors: heart disease, diabetes, obesity, hormone imbalance, nerve damage (for example, after spinal injury), Parkinson’s disease or kidney problems.
• Medication-related: certain blood pressure medicines, antidepressants, antihistamines, sedatives and recreational substances such as alcohol, tobacco and cannabis.
• Mental and emotional factors: stress, anxiety, guilt, low mood, self-esteem issues or fear of failure during sex.

ED can also be an early sign of underlying health conditions such as cardiovascular disease – so it’s always worth discussing with a qualified health professional.

Medicines Used for Erectile Dysfunction

The most common and effective treatment for ED is sildenafil, better known by the brand name Viagra.
Other options may include tadalafil (Cialis) or alprostadil if appropriate.

How Sildenafil Works

Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE-5 inhibitors. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow during sexual arousal.
It is not an aphrodisiac — sexual stimulation is still required for it to work.

Who Can Use Sildenafil

Sildenafil is suitable for most men over 18 years old who have erectile dysfunction.
However, it should be avoided if you:

• Take nitrate medicines for chest pain.
• Have severe heart or liver problems.
• Have had a recent heart attack or stroke.
• Have certain rare inherited eye conditions.

Our pharmacist prescribers will check your medical history, medicines and overall health to ensure sildenafil is safe for you.

How to Take Sildenafil

• Typical dose: 50mg, taken about one hour before sexual activity.
• Timing: works in 30–60 minutes, lasting for up to 4 hours.
• Tip: avoid heavy meals and excess alcohol beforehand as these can reduce effectiveness.

Natural Support and Lifestyle Advice

Improving general health can have a major impact on erectile function. Consider the following simple lifestyle measures:

• Eat a balanced diet rich in fruit, vegetables, wholegrains, nuts and seeds.
• Limit alcohol and caffeine, which can interfere with blood flow and mood.
• Stop smoking – tobacco narrows blood vessels and can contribute to ED.
• Stay physically active to boost circulation and hormone balance.
• Manage stress and anxiety through exercise, relaxation, or counselling if needed.
• Keep hydrated – aim for 6–8 glasses of water a day.

Supplements & Herbal Support

Certain vitamins, minerals and herbs may help support sexual health alongside prescribed treatment.
Always check with your pharmacist before use, especially if you take other medicines.

• Ginseng (Panax ginseng) – traditionally used to improve stamina, mood and sexual function.
• Zinc – supports prostate and reproductive health, particularly if dietary intake is low.
• Ginkgo biloba – may help circulation, including to peripheral areas.
• Damiana – a herbal tonic historically used for libido and energy.
• Rehmannia or Schisandra – used in some herbal traditions to support kidney and sexual function.
