Of course, patients need such auxiliary drugs that would ensure the appearance of an erection at the right time. For example, these can bepharmacological agents containing an active substance that promotes the expansion of cavernous bodies and increased blood flow to the genitals.
There are several types of tablets that contain this substance. The most popular and sought-after drug is a drug with high efficiency. The effect of the drug begins within 15-25 minutes after administration and lasts for 5-6 hours. The recommended dose is 10 mg/day, but men over 60 should reduce it to 5 mg/day. Read the instructions carefully: the drug has contraindications (previous stroke or myocardial infarction, genetic diseases of the retina, kidney pathology).
