Treatment of erectile dysfunction has been changed beyond all recognition in the last few decades. Safe and reliable treatment is now at hand for most men who need it.
A cream which treats erectile dysfunction (ED) is now available on prescription in the UK.
The cream – called Vitaros – now gives hope to the 2.3 million men over 18 across the country who currently try to deal with the problem by taking a variety of other treatments, such as Viagra (sildenafil).
Vitaros cream is available in a single-use, disposable applicator. A pre-prescribed amount is applied to the tip of the penis and, once absorbed, claims to yield an erection within five to 30 minutes.
The cream, which contains the drug alprostadil, means that men in the UK are the first in the world to have access to this new form of treatment to combat their sexual dysfunction issues.
Vitaros cream must be kept refrigerated and is unsuitable for mail order without specialist packaging to keep the medicine cooled. Read in full
Spedra (avanafil) is a new fast acting prescription drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It works in a similar way to older well established ED drugs, Viagra/sildenafil, Cialis/tadalafil, and Levitra/vardenafil. These medications are all known as PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing the blood flow to the penis at times of sexual stimulation.
Stimulation is required before these tablets will work. If there is no stimulation, tablets remain inactive and active ingredients are eliminated harmlessly from the body over a day or so. Read in full

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is commonly associated with older men, but in recent years it has emerged that a large proportion of younger men suffer from it too. A 2013 study by Capogrosso revealed that 25% of men seeking treatment for ED were under 40, which highlights that there are other triggers for the condition besides age.
While ED is a sensitive topic whatever your age, there is evidence to suggest that embarrassment may prevent the majority of young sufferers from seeking medical help.
A 2006 anonymous survey by the Chicago Children’s Memorial Hospital, of 234 male students (aged 18-25) at three Chicago universities, revealed that while 13% reported “difficulty getting or keeping an erection,” only 1 of those 29 men had discussed their problem with a doctor. The number of those self-medicating was worryingly much higher, with several men admitting to taking ED medication without a prescription.
So what are the reasons behind young men developing the condition and is it possible to cure? Read in full
The recent news coverage of a doctor who forged prescriptions of Viagra because he was too embarrassed to go to his GP, has highlighted the stigma often attached to erectile dysfunction.
The doctor, who worked at Ystrad Fawr Hospital, faked £340.67 worth of prescriptions because he was going through ‘marital difficulties’. Staff became suspicious because he worked in an orthopaedic unit where patients would not need Viagra.
He was ordered by the court to pay £347 for the Viagra and £2,561 for the cost of the NHS investigation.
The case raises the ongoing dilemma of men who suffer from ED. It’s also reasonable to suggest that, if a doctor is embarrassed about it, then a lot of other men suffering from impotence are too. Read in full

Is Kamagra safe/legal to buy?
Genuine Kamagra is theoretically as safe as any other form of erectile dysfunction medication (Viagra/sildenafil, Cialis/tadalafil, Levitra/vardenafil), however it is not currently licenced for sale in the UK, and therefore not legal to buy or sell in the UK.
No regulated supply chain
Because it is not legal in the UK there is no regulated supply chain to ensure the end user receives a genuine product and not a fake counterfeit. This is a very important point to consider. All licenced medicines sold by Dr Fox are supplied from a UK pharmacy registered with the GPhC. All stock is sourced from reputable and regulated drug wholesale suppliers in the UK. This regulated process ensures the end user receives genuine products. Read in full
