Erectile Dysfunction

In our mission to help people afford prescription erectile dysfunction medications, PharmacyChecker provides information concerning the causes, diagnosis, risks, and treatments associated with ED.

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a condition where the penis either is unable or struggles to achieve a strong enough erection for engaging in sexual intercourse.

People over the age of 50 are the most likely (but not the only ones!) to experience erectile dysfunction. ED is common and nothing to be ashamed about. Approximately one third of all males go through it at some point or another. ED doesn’t make you any less of a man and it can be treated. ED has been shown to commonly affect but isn't limited to Caucasian patients over other ethnicities.

Having erection issues from time to time is no reason to panic. If it becomes persistent, however, there are underlying conditions linked to ED of which you should be aware: alcohol or other substance abuse, stress, fatigue, overall blood flow, and even some medications can result in problems achieving an erection.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Symptoms

  • Difficulty achieving erections often

  • Persistent difficulty in maintaining erections

  • Persistent lowered desire for sexual intercourse

Pharmacist Advice On Taking ED Medication

1. Take your ED medication with a fasted/empty stomach if you can. If not, take it with a light meal that's not fatty because the fat in food can disrupt the absorption of the medication in your body and may result in it not working the best way it can.

2. ED medications work differently on everyone on desired results, don't be ashamed to let your healthcare provider know what works and what doesn't for you. There are several brand and generic versions to choose from.

3. f you experience a strong erection for longer than four hours, go to the emergency room immediately.

Please can you advise which is affordable to a pensioner.

Simplest and easiest site ever I had so much anxiety first being diagnosed with cancer and then getting on this medication I was not able to afford the real medication I could only get the generic so I came online and I found Canadian pharmacy store. Com, which made that medicine very affordable for me to purchase in a couple of easy steps also The chat with Marilyn S. Answered all my questions from who is the manufacture of my medication's to my prescription size and shipping time just everything thank you so much

We just ordered for my 90 year-old Mom. In the U.S. generics are not always available. So using PharmacyChecker we felt that its member pharmacy vendors were vetted. This reassurance of reliability took much of the guess work out of our shopping task.

This website provides very helpful information on ordering medications from non-U.S. Sources. We save 50% to 60% on name brand meds that are not available in generic forms in the U.S. We have saved thousands over the years.

I feel safe ordering from a pharmaceutical company outside of the U S because the prescription I am using is exactly the same as those sold in the U S, however, the price is totally different. What I had paid in the U S for 90 pills listed at almost $500. For which I have been paying $72. From a Canadian company for 5 or 6 years now, the price includes shipping and is sometimes negotiable.

This happens to be a very good pharmacy that delivers name brand meds at a reasonable price. All of the meds that I have purchased through this pharmacy have been the exact product my doctor listed. All of the products were labeled with original manufacturer's identity and location with date of manufacture and expiration. I am certainly glad that I found this pharmacy. Great job.

I am happy to see the entities that are endorsed by you. But I did have a horrendous experience with Canadian Pharmacy with my latest order. After switching the location from which my order was to be chipped, the order was and still is being held by US Customs. They did give me a replacement order which I finally did receive but that order was submitted MUCH later than it should have been. Bottom line, I waited OVER THREE MONTHS for my med to finally be delivered and that cost me more money to piece meal samples from my doc and out of pocket for short term needs. And, the order I did receive cost me MORE for FEWER tablets. I know Covid-19 played a part in this fiasco but the supplier simply DID NOT PREFORM!
