Of course, patients need auxiliary drugs that ensure the onset of an erection at the right time. For example, these can bepharmacological agents containing an active substance that promotes the expansion of the cavernous bodies and an increase in blood flow to the genitals.
There are several types of tablets that contain this substance. The most popular and sought after remedy is a drug with high efficiency. The action of the drug begins within 15-25 minutes after ingestion and lasts 5-6 hours. The recommended dose is 10 mg/day, however, men over 60 years of age should reduce it to 5 mg/day.
