What if I Can't Take One of the Available Oral Medications or They Are Not Working As Well as I Had Hoped?

There are very effective alternatives available for treating impotence. Oral medication works in 70% of men. For many of these men, it is truly a "wonder drug," giving them excellent predictable, long lasting erections. Oral medications have truly revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction. They have brought the issue into the open and given many men hope.

However, many men have been prescribed oral medication only to have it fail. For some of these men, the erections are not as rigid, predictable, or long-lasting as they would like. For 30% of men, the oral medication does not work well, does not work at all, or is contraindicated from a medical point of view. These men are often more unhappy than before they sought treatment, convinced that they are alone and that there is no help for them.

This group, in particular, should see an erectile dysfunction specialist, as there are other excellent options for the treatment of their erectile dysfunction. Physicians who specialize in impotence are the most comfortable and confident at presenting, teaching, and performing alternative treatments.
