Erectile dysfunction affects more and more men. In addition to a healthy diet and physical activity, you can use dietary supplements supporting erection, containing ginseng root extract, maca root extract, terrestrial mace, pine bark, L-arginine or green tea. If your situation requires medication, over-the-counter medicines containing sildenafil are available in online, and in pharmacies. However, in the case of premature ejaculation, you will find an over-the-counter lidocaine spray. Before using medications for erectile dysfunction, it is advisable to consult a urologist who will help find the cause of the problem and, if necessary, suggest prescription medications or treatments.
What are the causes of potency problems?
There can be many causes of impotence and they can have various sources.
Organic causes of erectile dysfunction

- smoking cigarettes,

- diseases, e.g. hypertension, diabetes, depression, neurosis, diseases of the nervous system, diseases of the sexual system, hormonal disorders.
It is most optimal to cure the cause of the disorder. Unfortunately, however, it is not always possible, e.g. in the course of diabetes, depression, the need to use specific medications or diseases of the nervous system. In such cases, apart from treating the disease, you can opt for pro-erectile drugs.
Psychogenic causes of erectile dysfunction
- stress and fatigue,
- psychological problems .
In the case of psychogenic erectile dysfunction, individual and partner psychotherapy as well as educational methods are used. Pro-erectile drugs can also be used as an emergency measure.

There are various dietary supplements and over-the-counter medications that can be used to treat this type of ailments. In order to find out the cause of the disorders and determine its causes, it is necessary to visit a specialist.

Dietary supplements and herbs for potency
These products are an alternative for men who want to try natural preparations or the use of sildenafil or tadalafil is contraindicated in them .
- L-arginine – an amino acid that plays a special role in the human body due to the fact that it is a substrate for the synthesis of nitric oxide (eg Doppelherz Aktiv Men Lider ).
- Maca root extract ( Lepidium meyenii) – this raw material is classified as adaptogens, i.e. substances that immunize the body against the harmful effects of external factors, which is supposed to calm down and reduce the stress level. Maca supplements are mainly used to improve fertility and increase libido in men.
- Ginseng Root Extract ( Panax ginseng ) – Also used as an adaptogen. It can increase the body’s efficiency and sexual performance. The raw material used in pharmacy is ginseng root. Ginsenosides (eg Ginseng Vita-Complex ) are responsible for its action.
- Tribulus terrestris – used in Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda, primarily as a tonic (tonic). It can increase libido and work as an aphrodisiac.
Over-the-counter potency medicine
- Sildenafil Citrate – you can buy Sildenafil based tablets (Kamagra) in doses of 50 mg and 100mg without a prescription online and in pharmacy. Kamagra helps to relax the blood vessels in your penis and allows blood to flow into your penis when you are sexually excited. The duration of action of sildenafil is 4-8 hours, and its effect appears on average after approx. 20 minutes after taking the tablet.
- Tadalafil – in a pharmacy without a prescription, you can also buy Tadalafil based tablets in a dose of 20 mg (eg Tadalis ). Tadalafil, like Sildenafil, is one of the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors – substances used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men that increase blood flow to the penis, which aids in getting an erection when sexually stimulated.
How long do potency drugs work?
A sildenafil or tadalafil tablet is taken at least 30 minutes before intercourse. After swallowing the tablet, the effect may last for up to 8 hours – sildenafil and 36 hours – tadalafil, so there is no need to take the drug again if sexual intercourse is not achieved at the scheduled time.
Erection occurs only as a result of sexual stimulation and may last for about 30 minutes. As these drugs have a long duration of action, more than one dose per day is not recommended. Taking this medicine with food may delay its effect.
Before taking the medication, read the leaflet carefully and make sure that there are no contraindications to use, e.g. heart problems.
