Sexual health · FAQ
How do the sexual health treatments on this page work?
Short answer
These sexual health treatments address different concerns. Sildenafil and tadalafil support blood flow for erections when you are sexually stimulated. Other products may target sensation or local arousal, depending on their ingredients. Results vary. A licensed physician in your state chooses an option based on your symptoms and health history.
Sildenafil and tadalafil belong to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. They support blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. They do not automatically cause an erection or directly increase sexual desire. Results vary. Daily Tadalafil is taken on a regular schedule when prescribed that way.
How Dual-action chew works depends on its active ingredients. Its name alone does not tell you what it contains or which concerns it treats. Check the treatment details and prescription label, and ask the physician to explain each ingredient.
Climax control spray may use a local numbing ingredient to reduce sensation. Arousal cream for women may act locally, but its effects and risks depend on the formula. Results vary. Neither product should be assumed to treat every cause of sexual concerns.
A licensed physician in your state decides which approach is appropriate. These treatments do not prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. Follow your prescription instructions rather than choosing a dose or combining products based only on their names.
