Erectile dysfunction is when a man has trouble:
- Getting an erection
- Keeping an erection hard enough for sex
- Maintaining an erection before or during sex
The Erection Hardness Score is a self-assessment tool used in VIAGRA clinical studies to assess erection hardness in men with ED. Try using it to rate the hardness of your own erection. Then, discuss the results with your doctor.
A talk your doctor has probably had many times.
To find out if you have ED, he will ask about your symptoms. Your health. And your lifestyle. This can help him learn what's causing your ED, and what treatments may help. Once you've discussed your treatment options, he may even prescribe one that day.
Talking to your doctor is a good way to learn if you've got ED. But you can get started at home. First, take the Rate Your Sexual Health Quiz to see if you've got signs of ED. Then, talk to your doctor about the results. And you'll be on your way.
Erectile dysfunction treatment can be both safe and effective.
Today, oral tablets are the most common erectile dysfunction treatment.
Some men seek out alternatives to VIAGRA. But ask yourself—are alternative treatments proven to be safe?

VIAGRA works for most men with ED. But only a doctor or healthcare provider can prescribe VIAGRA. That's why it's important to have your ED talk. In a survey, 89% of men felt relieved after they did. Chances are—you will too.

- Make an appointment with a doctor. It can be your regular doctor or a specialist—whichever works best for you.
- Tell him about your ED symptoms and ask about erectile dysfunction treatment
- He may also ask about your health and lifestyle. This can help him learn what's causing your ED, and what treatments may help.
Here are some ways to break the ice when your doctor asks how everything's going:
- "Is it true age may affect how I perform in bed?"
- "I have trouble sometimes in bed. Could it be ED?"
- "I think I might have ED. What can I do about it?"
- "Could VIAGRA work for me?"
You can have the talk with your regular doctor.
Or you can talk to a specialist—a urologist is a common choice.
These doctors can prescribe VIAGRA if they decide it's right for you.
As with anything else, it helps to be prepared. You'll want to find a doctor you feel comfortable with. And you'll want to provide him with the information he needs. Together, you can learn if a VIAGRA prescription is right for you.
from VIAGRA
Here are a few simple tips to help you get the best results from VIAGRA:
- Take your time. VIAGRA can work for up to 4 hours. So there's plenty of time to be intimate. Begin by taking VIAGRA 30 minutes to 1 hour before having sex.
- Get in the mood. VIAGRA will not give you an instant erection. It only works when you are sexually aroused. After sex, your erection should go away.
- Easy on the burgers. A fatty meal can slow your body's ability to absorb the drug. To get the quickest results, avoid high-fat meals 2 hours before taking VIAGRA.
If you're not getting the results you want, don't give up. Talk to your doctor about what you can do to improve your experience with VIAGRA. Often, an adjustment in dose can help.
And you can only fill that prescription at two places.
At your local pharmacy. Or at a certified pharmacy online.
When you buy VIAGRA online:
- Start with a written prescription from your doctor or healthcare provider
- Buy from Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites™ (VIPPS)-certified online pharmacies. Other sites may be selling counterfeits.
- Buy from a site that gives a US street address and phone number
Selling it is against the law. And buying it is unsafe.
The product you get from a site selling "generic VIAGRA" may be a dangerous counterfeit that can cause you harm.
Remember—the only way to get VIAGRA is with a prescription from a doctor or healthcare provider. Buying it without a prescription is unsafe. Don't have a VIAGRA prescription? Don't worry. The link below can help.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BELOW.
Do not take VIAGRA if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.
Discuss your general health status with your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex, seek immediate medical help.
In the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.
If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25 mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48-hour period.
In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA, and call a doctor right away.
Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been rarely reported in people taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking VIAGRA and contact a doctor right away.
If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of VIAGRA.
VIAGRA should not be used with other treatments that cause erections. VIAGRA should not be used with REVATIO as REVATIO contains sildenafil, the same medicine found in VIAGRA.
VIAGRA does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
The most common side effects of VIAGRA are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.
