Buying ED Drugs Online – Is It Safe?

man purchasing online with credit card

If you don’t want to see someone about erectile dysfunction (ED), we don’t blame you.

Even though tens of millions of American men suffer from ED, it’s still a highly sensitive topic that most of us would rather not discuss—not even with our doctor.

And so, in an effort to be discreet, you’ve probably turned to Google to help you find the best place to buy Viagra online.

But how safe is buying erectile dysfunction drugs online, really?

Here are three things you should know about buying ED drugs online:

  • When buying ED drugs online, beware of fake online pharmacies.
  • Fake online pharmacies will sell counterfeit ED drugs for discounted prices.
  • Counterfeit ED drugs may be extremely dangerous to your health.

The Risk of Buying ED Drugs Online

There’s nothing wrong with turning to Google to learn more about erectile dysfunction.

But when it comes to actually buying ED drugs, beware: fake online pharmacies are rampant.

There are many rogue online pharmacies that aren’t operating legally.

They often offer drugs at deeply discounted prices that you can purchase without a prescription from your doctor—hence, their appeal.

Drugs sold by unlicensed pharmacies may be extremely dangerous to your health due to the following reasons:

  • They contain the wrong active ingredient
  • They contain other harmful ingredients
  • They contain the incorrect dosage
  • They were stored improperly and may be contaminated

Buying ED drugs from rogue pharmacies is especially dangerous.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, medications for erectile dysfunction are the most commonly seized counterfeit pharmaceutical product (see claim: “Millions of counterfeit PDE5is are seized yearly and account for the bulk of all counterfeit pharmaceutical product seizures.”)

Thus, the best place to buy Viagra online is from a licensed pharmacist who requires a doctor’s prescription.

Beware Herbal Supplements for ED

OK, so buying Viagra online without a prescription isn’t the safest route to take to treat your ED.

What about herbal supplements that promise to boost a man’s sexual health?

Unfortunately, buying ED supplements online isn’t a great option, either.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tested products that claim to improve sexual functioning in men.

They found that nearly 300 products contained undisclosed ingredients that could be dangerous.

You’re much better off talking with your doctor about the problem.

Although you will need to suffer the embarrassment of discussing the problem, you can get your ED drugs mailed to your door afterward.

Alternative Ways to Treat ED

Not quite ready to see your doctor about your erectile dysfunction?

There are ways to improve your sexual health that don’t involve taking a pill.

Here are a few steps you can take to improve things in the bedroom:

1. Exercise

    As if you needed yet another excuse to exercise, here’s one more for you: It can help your ED.

    There is a growing body of research to suggest that physical activity can improve sexual responses, along with overall cardiovascular health.

    According to a 2015 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, men who reported frequent exercise had better sexual function compared to men with lower exercise levels (see claim: “Higher exercise was associated with a better sexual function score (P < 0.001).”)

    2. Eat a Healthy Diet

      On a related note, eating a healthy diet can also improve symptoms of ED.

      Specifically, eating a well-rounded diet can reduce your risk of vascular problems such as high cholesterol, which is a common cause of erectile dysfunction.

      When it comes to vascular health, the Mediterranean diet is one of the best diets for men to follow.

      According to a 2019 review published in Circulation Research, researchers concluded that there is strong evidence that the Mediterranean diet is positively associated with cardiovascular health outcomes (see claim: “…the traditional MedDiet is associated with better cardiovascular health outcomes, including clinically meaningful reductions in rates of coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, and total cardiovascular disease.”)

      3. Work Through Your Issues

        If you have problems in your relationship or with life in general, this can make it more difficult to maintain an erection in the bedroom.

        Consider seeing a professional to help you work through some of your issues.

        If things are rocky in your relationship, talk with your partner about seeing a couple’s therapist.

        Otherwise, seek a therapist for yourself and let them help you get a handle on your stress.

        TAKE THE SKIN CARE QUIZ

        4. Improve Your Confidence

          If you’re a younger guy, your ED may stem from a lack of confidence.

          Being uncomfortable with yourself and your body can make you stressed out in the bedroom.

          To improve your sexual performance, do things that make you feel good about yourself.

          In addition to exercise, consider getting on a skin care routine to clear up your skin.

          Invest in new clothes that flatter your body type.

          Start the day off on a confident note, and those positive vibes may bleed over into the bedroom.

          Bottom Line

          Buying ED drugs online is a risky endeavor.

          Not only are counterfeit ED drugs a huge problem, they can be a serious danger to your health.

          But ultimately, it’s your health and, thus, your call to make.
