How Does ED Medication Work?

Key Takeaways 

 

  • ED medications are some of the most prescribed drugs in the United States for helping achieve and maintain an erection — but only work if you’re aroused 
  • ED medications typically take 30 - 60 minutes to take effect — but Cake ED Meds are sublingual (dissolve in the mouth) and take effect in 15 - 30 minutes

How does Sildenafil (Viagra) work to treat ED?

 

When you get aroused, the body releases a molecule called ’nitric oxide’ which helps individuals achieve an erection. However, for those with ED, an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5)  gets released near the same time which can prevent an erection. Sildenafil has become a first line of defense in blocking this enzyme. 

 

How does Tadalafil (Cialis) work to treat ED?

 

Tadalafil works in a similar manner as Sildenafil. These active ingredients helps more blood flow to the penis by relaxing muscles and arteries in and around the penis.
