    Erectile Dysfunction Medications, often referred to as ED Medications or Impotence Drugs, are pharmaceutical treatments designed to help men achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. These medications, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra), work by increasing blood flow to the penis, typically by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).
