Oral prescriptions medications such as Prescription Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are one of the most popular Erection problems treatments available today. All three drugs belong to the same class of drugs known as PDE-5 inhibitors. These medications work by inhibiting the production and action of PDE-5, an enzyme that restricts the flow of blood o the penis and prevents it from achieving a satisfactory erection. PDE-5 inhibitors facilitate the erection process naturally.
However, these medications are ineffective in the absence of external sexual stimulation. All three medications are largely similar in their mechanism of action and effects but differ in their duration of effectiveness and dosage. The side effects of all three prescription medications include skin flushing, headache, nasal congestion, indigestion, blurred vision and hearing loss. Most of these side effects are fairly uncommon and usually disappear after a while. Most men experience significant improvement in sexual function, regardless of the reasons for Erection problems.
