Personalized care from anywhere.

We treat erectile dysfunction with oral medications such as Viagra & Cialis (including its generics) that improve your performance sustainably & safely.

Price of Viagra & Cialis

The price of your treatment for erectile dysfunction will depend on which pill you take, the dosage and amount of tablets prescribed. 

Is it safe to buy erectile dysfunction pills online?

If you purchase ED medications (including herbal remedies) online without a prescription, you risk purchasing a product containing potentially dangerous ingredients or unsafe dosages. One FDA (Food and Drug Administration) report found that one-third of the ED supplements tested contained unlisted and potentially dangerous and contaminated ingredients. When taken in unknown amounts or without consulting a healthcare professional familiar with your medical history and other medications, these can cause side effects which maybe unknown to the untrained individual.

Although some South African websites sell other non-prescriptive over-the-counter medications for erectile dysfunction, their safety, and efficacy cannot be guaranteed. It is always advisable to have ED medications prescribed by a doctor and purchased from a licensed pharmacy in South Africa.

At Get Tested, our medication is always dispensed from a reputable pharmacy like Clicks or DisChem with free delivery. 

Which ED pills are available in South Africa?

Here we’ll describe two medications that are available in South Africa and have been approved for the treatment of ED: Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis)

Sildenafil (Viagra)
Sildenafil, better known by its brand name Viagra, was the first PDE5 inhibitor when it was released in 1998. Today, it is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, and many medical professionals recommend it first.

Viagra is only offered in the form of an oral tablet, but there are several generic alternatives to the medication that can be purchased at significantly lower costs. Only one dose per day, on an as-needed basis, is to be taken. It may take up to thirty minutes before it begins to work, and it should be taken approximately an hour before sexual activity in order to reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction.

Tadalafil (Cialis)
Another common treatment for erectile dysfunction, tadalafil (also known as Cialis), is a drug that is taken orally and works to improve blood flow throughout the body.

You have the option of taking this PDE5 inhibitor at a higher dose approximately 30 minutes before engaging in sexual activity — no more than once per day — or at a lower dose every day so that you are always ready for sexual activity and do not need to plan ahead. It may continue to function for up to 36 hours.

Which Treatment is Best?

Erectile dysfunction treatments like Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis) are commonly used oral medications that have been scientifically proven to treat ED. This means that you should get good results regardless of which medication is prescribed.

How does ED medication work?

All of the medications for erectile dysfunction that are available right now are phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These medications work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, which relaxes the penile muscles, expands the blood vessels that go into the penis, and improves penile blood flow. This combination of effects helps men get and keep better erections. ED medications are safe when used appropriately by healthy individuals and have the potential to assist men in achieving more satisfying sexual lives.

Is generic Viagra and Cialis less effective?

Viagra and Cialis have aided millions of men with erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) in attaining stronger erections and enhanced sexual experiences. Nevertheless, not everyone can afford these prescription drugs.

This does not imply that you must choose between going bankrupt or having an unsatisfying sexual life. Sildenafil (generic Viagra) and Tadalafil (generic Cialis) are less expensive alternatives that are as safe and effective as their brand-name counterparts.

Many individuals are unaware that generic medications contain the same active ingredients and offer the same benefits as their brand-name counterparts.

Side effects

Side effects are more likely when using more than the prescribed dose, and we highly advise against this. If side effects do occur, they may include the following:

- Headache
- Flushing
- Dizziness
- Nasal congestion (Stuffy or runny nose)
- Erections that last longer than four hours
- Vision problems (e.g blurred vision)

ED is More Common Than You Think 

A report published by the World Health Organization has stated that erectile dysfunction is affecting approximately 40 percent of men in South Africa, including both younger and older generations. According to the findings of a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2013, erectile dysfunction is more prevalent in younger men than was previously believed. Researchers found that ED affected 20% of adult men under the age of 40, despite the fact that its prevalence does rise with age as people get older.

When should I seek help for ED?

When you're stressed, distracted, or simply not in the mood for sex, it's not unusual to experience erection problems on occasion. As a result, there is typically no cause for alarm if you occasionally struggle to attain or maintain an erection. However, if you find it difficult or impossible to get an erection during foreplay or sex on a recurring basis, you should consult your healthcare provider. This can be done by contacting your primary care physician, scheduling an appointment with a local urologist(a specialist in the male reproductive system), or engaging in an online consultation for erectile dysfunction.
