The erectile dysfunction medications

Impotence or Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects your quality of life by decreasing the satisfaction from sex. Erectile Dysfunction might cause psychological and physical issues. Erectile Dysfunction from physical causes is common in men as they age.
There are available medications to treat Erectile Dysfunction for many men.

Well-known Erectile Dysfunction medications are:

• sildenafil (Viagra)
• tadalafil (Cialis)
• vardenafil (Levitra)
• avanafil (Stendra)

Prescribed drugs increase the levels of nitric oxide in the blood. Nitric oxide being a vasodilator, makes your blood vessels increase the blood flow. Drugs are effective at widening the blood vessels in the penis. More blood in the penis is easier for you to maintain an erection if you are sexually aroused.

But these drugs could cause side effects. The seven most common side effects of Erectile Dysfunction medications are:
