BiggusDikkus Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 From the story: Despite the encouraging results from our study and the fact that drugs to treat erectile dysfunction are now available without a prescription Really? Where? (I mean other than at any drugstore in Thailand.) Quote
t0oL1 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Posted August 31, 2022 Online prescriptions/doctors. Tried one place online- no prescription and they sometimes send 12 junk emails daily for their Canadian “Pharnacy” Quote

Where? (I mean other than at any drugstore in Thailand.) In the UK, any pharmacy can supply Viagra Connect (50mg) without a prescription. For bigger doses or alternatives to sildenafil there are online GP services where you just fill in an online self-assessment form and a real GP signs a private prescription (for a fee, naturally). Also useful (and cheaper than the high street) for getting anti-malarials and other travel medication that needs a prescription. The reputable ones don't bombard you with emails. BiggusDikkus 1 Quote
BiggusDikkus Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 So is one of these drugs, Viagra or Cialis, more effective than the other? Does one have fewer side effects? I've only tried Viagra, and it leaves me a terrible two-day headache. floridarob 1 Quote

I tried all three drugs: Viagra, Cialis, Levitra. I finally settled on Levitra. I still get side effects, but it's the least of the three. You should test all three and decide your preference.

You just don't know the authenticity or the quality of the on-line drugs. BiggusDikkus and Olddaddy 1 1 Quote

Does one have fewer side effects? I've only tried Viagra, and it leaves me a terrible two-day headache. Cialis lasts longer (something like 36 hours compared with 4 for the others) which may be why it's also prescribed for BPH. Otherwise just try them and see which has fewest side-effects (headaches etc) but also note that some of them can interact with other medication and some heart conditions. You can find more useful medical information on the Doctor Fox website. (But note that as a registered and regulated online UK pharmacy they won't deliver abroad 😕) BiggusDikkus 1 Quote

Most of us perhaps are not qualified enough to understand and even less to qualify what Dr. Google type of websites are telling gerefan and Mavica 1 1 Quote

Most of us perhaps are not qualified enough to understand and even less to qualify what Dr. Google type of websites are telling Certainly. (Probably better still to talk to a pharmacist - they are likely to have more detailed knowledge of things like drug interactions etc 😀.) But the site I linked may provide helpful basic information to answer most of the questions that have been asked above (how long does it last, what are the side-effects etc.). It's a bit more than "Dr Google" : the information is authored by a team of identifiable doctors, name-checked complete with their professional registration data. vinapu 1 Quote
