Erectile dysfunction is a common problem among men, but fortunately, there are several effective medical treatments available to address it.

Rather than searching on Google "Viagra without a prescription" or "pill to get an erection", it is better to consult a professional who can guide you properly.

Thanks to Kano.care, it is now possible to get an online consultation with specialized doctors and to receive a prescription for the medication best suited to your situation. Here is an overview of the top five medications available to improve erectile performance, with information on dosages and the duration of their effects.

1. Viagra (Sildenafil)

Viagra is undoubtedly the most famous medication for erectile dysfunction worldwide. Its active ingredient, sildenafil, works by dilating the blood vessels in the penis, thereby allowing better blood flow during sexual stimulation.

  • Available dosages: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg
  • Duration of the effect: About 4 to 6 hours
  • Time before effect: It is recommended to take it about one hour before sexual intercourse.

At Kano.care, you can consult a doctor online to get a prescription tailored to your needs. Viagra is usually prescribed to healthy men, but there may be contraindications depending on your overall health. Our doctors will advise you on the appropriate dosage and ensure that the treatment is safe for you.

2. Cialis (Tadalafil)

Cialis, with its active ingredient tadalafil, is another popular option for treating erectile dysfunction. This medication is distinguished by the prolonged duration of its effect, which sometimes earns it the nickname "weekend pill".

  • Available dosages: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg
  • Duration of the effect: Up to 36 hours
  • Time before effect: Approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity

The main advantage of Cialis is its long duration of action, which allows for greater flexibility and spontaneity. At Kano.care, you can get a tailored prescription, whether it's for occasional use or for a daily low-dose treatment (2.5 mg or 5 mg).

3. Levitra (Vardenafil)

Levitra, containing vardenafil, is another treatment option for erectile dysfunction. It is similar to Viagra in terms of its mechanism of action, but it may be more effective for some men, particularly those with diabetes.

  • Available dosages: 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg
  • Duration of the effect: About 4 to 5 hours
  • Time before effect: It is recommended to take it 25 to 60 minutes before sexual intercourse.

Men who experience side effects with other medications may find that Levitra is milder and better tolerated. Consult a doctor on Kano.care to get a prescription and advice on the dosage suitable for your specific needs.

4. Spedra (Avanafil)

Spedra is a more recent medication on the market for treating erectile dysfunction, containing the active ingredient avanafil. This medication stands out for its fast-acting effects.

  • Available dosages: 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg
  • Duration of the effect: About 6 hours
  • Time before effect: Can be taken only 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity.

For those looking for a quick and effective solution, Spedra is an excellent option. Our doctors on Kano.care can prescribe this medication after an online consultation to determine the most appropriate dosage for your situation.

5. Stendra (Avanafil)

Stendra is similar to Spedra, as it also contains avanafil, but it is more commonly prescribed in the United States. Like Spedra, it is known for its quick and effective action, particularly useful for men seeking an almost immediate effect.

  • Available dosages: 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg
  • Duration of the effect: About 6 hours
  • Time before effect: Can be taken approximately 15 to 30 minutes before sexual activity.

At Kano.care, after a teleconsultation, you can get a prescription for this medication, with personalized follow-up to ensure you are using the correct dosage.

All these medications are proven solutions to help men overcome erectile dysfunction, but it is important to note that they must be taken under medical supervision. This is where Kano.care comes into play: by offering an online consultation with doctors specialized in men's health, we make it easier to access these treatments safely. Each medication has specific characteristics in terms of dosage and duration of action, and our doctors are here to guide you towards the most suitable solution.

Don't wait any longer to improve your intimate life and regain confidence in yourself. Make an appointment on Kano.care and get the prescription you need quickly and discreetly.

Treatments for erectile dysfunction, such as Viagra®, Cialis®, Levitra®, and Spedra®, carry potential risks that vary depending on the patient's health condition. They may cause serious side effects, including cardiovascular issues, dangerous drug interactions, or prolonged erections (priapism), which require immediate medical attention. It is essential never to take these medications without the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. A thorough medical consultation is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment for each individual, taking into account medical history and contraindications. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that the medications are obtained from reliable and authorized sources. Medications purchased outside legal channels or without a prescription may be counterfeit, ineffective, or even harmful to health. Always consult a doctor before using these treatments and obtain medications from a licensed pharmacy.
