ED Treatment Trial pack

The ED treatment trial pack contains three prescription treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED), known as PDE-5 inhibitors. This allows you to try different medicines for ED to see which one works best for you. It is a unique treatment option for first-time users.

In the trial pack, you will receive the generic version of popular ED treatments. You will get one pack (4 tablets) of each of the following medicines:

• Sildenafil (generic Viagra)
• Tadalafil (generic Cialis)
• Vardenafil (generic Levitra)

All the medicines included in the ED trial pack have been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

These medicines belong to a class called phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors). When you are aroused, your body releases a chemical called nitric oxide. This chemical signals the blood vessels in the spongy tissue of the penis to relax. When this happens, more blood is able to flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection.

These medicines block the PDE5 enzyme, which allows the blood to remain in the penis, allowing the erection to be maintained.

These medicines all work similarly but have minor differences in how long they last and how long they take to work.

Despite belonging to the same drug class, erectile dysfunction treatments have slightly different effects. The main advantage of the trial pack is that you can try each medicine to see what works best for you without committing to one you don’t like.

All the medicines included in the ED treatment trial pack have been proven to be effective in clinical trials.

In a dose–response study over 24-weeks, 532 men were treated with various doses of oral sildenafil tablets (25mg, 50mg, or 100mg) or a placebo. After 24 weeks of treatment, improved erections were reported by the following:

In another study of 443 men with mild-to-severe ED, the study results showed that tadalafil at a dose of 20mg significantly improved erectile function and was well tolerated.

A randomised, double-blind clinical trial of 601 men with mild to severe ED was carried out to study the effects of vardenafil compared to a placebo. Patients were allocated to 12 weeks of treatment with either a placebo or 5mg, 10mg and 20mg of vardenafil. The results showed that 80% of men taking vardenafil 20mg experienced improved erections, compared to only 30% of men taking the placebo.

The ED treatment trial pack is a great option for many men however, it may not be suitable for certain groups of people.

Who can use this medicine?

Most adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction can use the ED medicines in the trial pack.

Who cannot use this medicine?

You should not use the medicines in the ED treatment trial pack if you are allergic to sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil or any of the other ingredients in these medicines. This medicine is only suitable for ED treatment in men and should not be used by women.

You should speak to your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

• low or high blood pressure
• a recent stroke or heart attack
• heart problems, chest pain, a heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia)
• liver problems
• a rare inherited eye disease (e.g. retinitis pigmentosa)
• eye problems or loss of vision due to non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION)
• sickle cell anaemia (a red blood cell abnormality)
• certain types of cancers (e.g. leukaemia, or multiple myeloma)
• penis deformities or Peyronie’s disease
• stomach ulcers
• bleeding problems (such as haemophilia)

You should avoid using PDE-5 inhibitors with any other oral or local treatments for ED.

If you are unsure whether you are suitable for this medication, our doctors can help find the best option for you, or an alternative treatment.

At euroClinix, we offer the following strengths of PDE-5 inhibitors:

• Sildenafil 25mg, 50mg and 100mg tablets.
• Tadalafil 5mg, 10mg and 20mg tablets.
• Vardenafil 5mg, 10mg and 20mg tablets.

Our generic ED trial pack includes 4 tablets of the following:

• Sildenafil 50mg
• Tadalafil 10mg
• Vardenafil 10mg

As each medicine is slightly different, the dosage instructions vary. Please follow the instructions for each ED medication respectively.

How to use it

To take these medications correctly, follow the instructions below:

1. Take one tablet, when required, before sexual intercourse.
2. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid high-fat meals before taking ED tablets, as they can delay the effects of certain medications (e.g. sildenafil).
3. Do not take more than one tablet of any ED medicine in a 24-hour period.

You must be sexually aroused for these medicines to work. If you find one of the medicines doesn’t work for you, try a different one next time or ask your doctor about a higher dose.

For further information, consult the patient information leaflet.

When to use it

Your chosen ED medication should be taken shortly before you intend to have sex. Here is a guide on when to take the medicines included in the ED treatment trial pack:

• Sildenafil: Take one 50mg tablet at least 60 minutes before sexual activity.
• Tadalafil: Take one 10mg tablet at least 30 minutes before sexual activity.
• Vardenafil: Take one 10mg tablet at least 25 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

These medications are only taken when you need them, before sexual activity. If you miss a dose, just take the tablet as usual before your next planned sexual activity.

The time it takes for ED medicines to work depends on the specific medication. While they all work similarly, they have minor differences which can be seen in the table below:

How long do I use it for?

The duration for which you use ED medicines depends on the cause of your condition and how effectively the medication works for you. These medicines are usually used on an as -needed basis whenever you plan to engage in sexual activity.

If you have chronic conditions that affect your ability to maintain an erection, you may choose to use these medicines long -term. In this case, regular follow-ups with your doctor can help them monitor your condition and adjust your treatment if necessary.

Making lifestyle changes while using ED medicines can help to improve their effectiveness. Here are some changes to consider implementing:

Although these medicines may be taken with or without food, sometimes they take longer to start working when taken with a heavy meal. I would advise you to avoid heavy, fatty foods before taking these medicines.

As with all prescription medicines, the medicines in the trial pack may cause side effects. However, the most common side effects are mild and don’t require treatment.

How to manage side effects

Most side effects are manageable however, if you experience any side effects that bother you or any serious side effects, seek medical attention.

Nausea

Take the medication with food to ease stomach upset. Make sure to avoid heavy, fatty meals, as they can slow absorption of the medicine.

Facial flushing

Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol or spicy foods, as these can worsen flushing.

Dizziness

Stand up slowly to prevent sudden drops in blood pressure. Stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol and excessive heat, which can exacerbate dizziness.

For a complete list of side effects, refer to the respective patient information leaflet included in your order.

ED medicines can interact with other over-the-counter medicines, prescription medications and natural health products, causing side effects. Some interactions include:

• alpha blockers (for high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate)
• amyl nitrite (“poppers”)
• riociguat (for high blood pressure in the lungs’ blood vessels)
• ritonavir or saquinavir (for HIV)
• ketoconazole or itraconazole (for fungal infections)
• erythromycin or clarithromycin (antibiotics to treat infections)
• phenobarbital, phenytoin and carbamazepine (medicines for epilepsy)
• quinidine, procainamide, amiodarone or sotalol (for an irregular heartbeat)
• Priligy for premature ejaculation

PDE-5 inhibitors may dangerously interact with medicines called nitrates, as the combination may lead to a fall in blood pressure. Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines as they are often prescribed to relieve chest pain.

If you have a condition or take a medicine that is not listed, check with your doctor before using any ED treatment. For a complete list of precautions and interactions, consult the patient information leaflet for each medicine in the pack.

You should also avoid taking multiple ED medicines at the same time, including Viagra Connect or unlicensed natural health products. Do not take any of the medications available in the pack together. Combining these can result in serious health risks, such as dangerously low blood pressure and other side effects.
