Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – Causes, Treatment & How Pulteney Pharmacy Can Help

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than many people realise. It refers to difficulty getting or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual activity. While occasional erection problems are normal, ongoing issues may indicate an underlying health condition that deserves attention.

At Pulteney Pharmacy, our trained independent prescribers offer private, discreet, and judgment-free ED consultations, with same-day treatment options available when appropriate. This includes access to effective ED medications like Viagra (Sildenafil) and Cialis (Tadalafil) following a safe, online consultation.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Erectile dysfunction occurs when the penis does not receive enough blood flow or when signals between the brain and the penis are disrupted. Both physical and psychological factors can contribute. ED affects men of all ages but becomes more common with age or underlying health issues. In some cases, ED can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease, so it’s important not to ignore persistent symptoms.

How Common Is ED?

ED affects over 50% of men aged 40–70, though younger men also experience it. Unfortunately, many never seek help due to embarrassment—yet it is one of the most treatable conditions in men’s health.

Safe & Discreet ED Treatment Options

Once the cause is identified, several effective treatments are available. For most men, Oral Medications are the first-line and most effective treatment.

First-Line Treatment: Oral ED Medications

Pulteney Pharmacy specialises in providing the leading prescription medications for ED:

• Sildenafil (Viagra® / Generic Sildenafil): The world-renowned "little blue pill" works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you get and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.

• Tadalafil (Cialis® / Generic Tadalafil): Often called the "weekender pill," Tadalafil offers a longer duration of action (up to 36 hours), providing more spontaneity.

• Vardenafil (Levitra®) and Avanafil (Stendra®) are also available upon clinical indication.

Our independent prescribers will assess your health history to ensure the safest and most effective medication is prescribed for your needs.

Alternative Topical Treatments: Alprostadil Cream (Vitaros)

For men who cannot take oral ED medications due to other health conditions or who find them ineffective, topical alternatives are available.

• Vitaros (Alprostadil Cream): This is a cream applied directly to the tip of the penis. Its active ingredient, alprostadil, is a potent vasodilator that increases blood flow locally to achieve an erection, usually within 5–30 minutes.

• Benefits: It offers a non-tablet option that acts locally, minimizing systemic side effects. It is a suitable alternative for certain individuals with cardiovascular contraindications to oral PDE5 inhibitors.

Other Clinical Treatments

• Lifestyle Changes: Improving cardiovascular fitness, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight.

• Talking Therapies: Useful when stress, anxiety, or relationship concerns are a factor.

• Other Options: Testosterone replacement (if clinically indicated), penile injections, vacuum pumps, or specialist referral for advanced treatments.
