Oral medications are usually the first option doctors use to treat erectile dysfunction. Viagra and the related drugs Cialis and Vardenafil, are generally successful drugs for many men. These medications are taken by mouth, are usually less expensive, and can be used more discreetly and spontaneously than some other therapies.
Trimix (Papaverine, Phentolamine and Alprostadil), which is injected into the side of the penis, is very effective, safe, and reliable. It relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding the penile arteries, causing them to dilate and permit an increased flow of blood. A related but generally less effective treatment, intraurethral therapy, works in much the same way, but men insert pellets of Trimix into the urethra.
