Tablets for erectile dysfunction are called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra, Silvasta, Vedafil), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra). These medicines usually enable an erection by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, but only when you are stimulated or aroused. They are all similarly effective.

DiabetesDiabetes is a known risk factor for ED, and its prevalence in patients with diabetes is estimated to be greater than 50%. When compared to a healthy control group, men with diabetes were found to be 3.5 times more likely to have ED than those without diabetes.21 While PDE5Is have proven to be highly efficacious in the treatment of ED, men with diabetes tend to have a poorer response with this drug class compared with those without, although some of the evidence is mixed. Because the release of NO is mediated by neuronal and endothelial NO synthase, it is postulated that neuropathy and endothelial disease (commonly diagnosed in patients with diabetes) diminish the effects of PDE5Is.22

The erectile dysfunction treatment you use largely depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Although all the erectile dysfunction tablets we offer encourage stronger erections, each ED treatment works in a slightly different way - giving you the freedom to find a treatment that suits you best. Sildenafil and Viagra Connect: if you have a more spontaneous sex life, sildenafil or Viagra Connect may be the best erectile dysfunction treatment options for you as these can be taken on an as-and-when basis. They both take around one hour to kick in and can last for up to four hours. Tadalafil: tadalafil takes about 30 minutes to kick in and lasts for up to 36 hours. This is ideal if you prefer having a more flexible ED treatment that allows you to experience harder erections for a longer period of time (for example, over the course of a weekend). Tadalafil Daily: if you don’t like planning when to take an ED treatment before sex, Tadalafil Daily keeps you topped up with a steady level of tadalafil in your system every day so you can get erections whenever you need them. It takes three to five days to take effect, but once it does its effects are continuous.
