It is clear that the way care is provided has changed in recent years. This includes how men can be screened for sexual dysfunction, receive treatment, and purchase medication for their condition.

Hims Online has established itself as a provider of products and services not only for sexual health, but also for hair, skin, nutrition and other aspects of wellness.

If you are looking for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) treatment, Hims provides generic and brand name drugs, as well as licensed doctors who will provide you with diagnosis and advice online.

The company also offers medical advice and similar products for premature ejaculation.

We’ll see.

What is his?

Hims Inc. was launched in 2017. A year later, its sister company Hers joined Hims.

Hims is a telemedicine company focused on personal health. They allow users to provide personalized health information to a team of doctors who can review it.

These doctors can prescribe medication for erectile dysfunction if needed. A Hims user can purchase these drugs from the Hims website, often for much less than other pharmacies.

Prescription drugs must be purchased with a Hims subscription which offers monthly drugs 12 times a year. You can purchase over-the-counter products a la carte.

What are the ways to treat erectile dysfunction?

Although there are many drugs and supplements on the market that promise to treat erectile dysfunction, Hims focuses on five drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are a combination of generic and branded products.

Generic versions of well-known drugs such as Viagra and Cialis are available at a much lower price than their branded products. Although they are less expensive, they still went through a rigorous regulatory approval process to verify their safety and effectiveness.

The following treatments for erectile dysfunction are available in tablet form. Doses are measured in milligrams (mg):

Viagra. Available in doses of 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg; lasts 2 to 5 hours.

Sildenafil. The active ingredient in Viagra, which is sold as a generic drug for erectile dysfunction in the same doses.

Cialis. Available in doses of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg; lasts up to 26 hours.

tadalafil. The active ingredient in Cialis is sold as a generic drug for erectile dysfunction in the same doses.

Avanafil (Stendra). It is available in doses of 50 mg, 100 mg or 200 mg; lasts up to 6 hours.

For premature ejaculation, Hims sells:

sertraline. The active ingredient in the antidepressant Zoloft, available as 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg tablets.

Premature ejaculation spray. It contains lidocaine, which reduces the sensitivity of the penis.

Sertraline is also FDA approved and requires a prescription.

For some, a combination of premature ejaculation treatment and erectile dysfunction medication may be helpful in improving sexual performance.

With Hims, a licensed physician can assess your medical history and symptoms, and then prescribe appropriate prescriptions online.

How do these drugs work?

While the goal of erectile dysfunction drugs is to help you get and maintain an erection, there are some differences in the three main components of the products Hims offers. Each is a type of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.

Active substance: sildenafil

Sildenafil helps relax muscles in the walls of blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the penis. This makes it easier to get and maintain an erection.

The drug alone will not cause an erection. Sexual stimulation is always necessary.

The maximum effect of sildenafil is approximately one hour after use, so it is best to take the tablet 30-60 minutes before starting sexual activity. Its effectiveness begins to decline after about 2 hours.

Active substance: tadalafil

Tadalafil belongs to the same class of drugs (PDE5 inhibitors) as sildenafil, so it works the same way it helps you get an erection.

The biggest difference is that tadalafil stays in the system much longer. The downside is that the side effects of the drug are more likely to last longer.

Tadalafil is available as a low dose daily which lasts 4 to 5 days. It should remain effective every day as long as you continue to take your daily tablet.
