Impotent Males Have a Trilogy of Cures to Count On

To be called impotent is one of the most ego-deflating experiences a male could suffer, especially if the remark comes from a bed partner during what is supposed to be a torrid sexual encounter. After all, the ability of a man to get a hard and firm penis erection necessary to fully satisfy a woman by penetrating deep into her vagina is one of the norms by which males are measured, particularly in the machismo pride of the Latino cultures. A corollary to this potency standard among males is the size of the penis, with the prevailing belief that men with the larger, broader and firmer male organs when they are sexually excited, the better are the prospects that their performance will be great in bed.
 

Impotent men thus become the butt of jokes among peers who somehow learn of the poor fellow`s condition. This is the reason why most males who suffer from impotence would be hesitant to discuss their condition even with a doctor. What they would rather do is seek some self-medication that would be easy to purchase and discreet to take. Well, for these guys half of the battle is now already won. There are now at least three oral medicines available for the treatment of impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) as medical practitioners would call this adverse male condition. The thing is the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved these drugs as prescription medicine, meaning prior medical consultation and a doctor`s recommendation are needed before anyone can purchase these ED drugs.

The first of the three FDA-approved medications for impotent males is sildenafil which earned the US agency`s nod in 1998. Serendipity was how this drug was developed by Pfizer which was synthesizing it as medication for hypertension and angina pectoris, a heart-related disease. Clinical trials proved the medicine was of little effect on these afflictions but was potent in providing erections of the penis. And thus, sildenafil was developed as an ED drug now marketed under the popular brand Viagra.

The FDA approved vardenafil as the second erectile dysfunction medicine available in the US in August 2003. This drug is sold under the trademark Levitra by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and is also available as Vivanza in the European Union markets.
The third medication which gained FDA approval for penile dysfunction was tadalafil which is marketed as Cialis. It was approved as a prescription drug pill in November 2003. This medicine designed to solve the woes of an impotent man has earned the reputation of being a “Weekend Pill” because of its vaunted 36-hour efficacy. Tadalafil, produced by Eli Lilly, has also been approved this 2009 as a medication for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

All three drugs essentially work the same. These medicines have active ingredients which promote increased circulation in the corpus cavernosum tissues along the length of the penis responsible for firm and hard erections. Impotent males who want to use any of these medications should be aware of their side-effects. The link below plus medical consultation would be helpful.
