Men’s health is an important yet often overlooked topic, with many men in Ireland facing challenges that affect their confidence and quality of life.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common concerns affecting older men, but the good news is that it is also one of the most manageable.
At Phelans Pharmacy, we provide a discreet and professional service, offering a range of established ED treatments including Cialis, Viagra Connect, Sidena and Viaredrin.
Erectile Dysfunction: A Common but Manageable Issue
According to the HSE, ED affects almost 1 in 3 men in Ireland, with increasing age a key factor.
Modern treatments are well established and effective when used appropriately, allowing men to regain confidence and control.
Understanding Your ED Treatment Options
The two most commonly used active ingredients for ED are sildenafil and tadalafil.
Sildenafil is the main active ingredient in Viagra Connect, Sidena and Viaredrin. It typically works for around 4–6 hours and is often chosen by men who prefer a short, reliable window of effect.
Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis. It offers a longer duration of action, and can take effect when you need to for up to 36 hours, which some men prefer for the greater flexibility and spontaneity it offers.
The right choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences and how much flexibility you would like.
Sildenafil Options
Viagra Connect – The best-known sildenafil brand.
Sidena – The original affordable sildenafil option.
Viaredrin – A new cost-effective sildenafil alternative.
These products all contain the same active ingredient, with pricing and brand familiarity often the deciding factor.
Tadalafil Option
Cialis – Contains tadalafil and provides a longer window of effectiveness, up to 36 hours, allowing greater spontaneity without precise timing.
All ED first-time treatments at Phelans Pharmacy are supplied following a discreet phone consultation with one of our pharmacists to ensure they are suitable and safe for you. Once you have completed your consultation, you can then reorder as you require.
