Important safety information
Sildenafil and tadalafil are prescription medicines and are not right for everyone. Do not use PDE5 inhibitors with nitrates or guanylate cyclase stimulators because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Tell your provider about every medical condition, medication, vitamin, and supplement you take.
Seek urgent medical care for an erection lasting more than four hours, sudden vision or hearing changes, chest pain, or other severe symptoms. Individual results vary. Treatment and results are not guaranteed.
Apomorphine is a dopamine agonist, but its FDA-approved labeling is for Parkinson’s disease—not ED. Oxytocin’s FDA-approved labeling does not establish a libido indication.
