Medical restoration of potency
Treatment of sexual disorders should be comprehensive. To restore potency, men are prescribed drugs that improve the outflow of secretions from the prostate gland, as well as affect blood circulation in the pelvic organs and genital area. In addition, it is necessary to take a complex of vitamins, plant and mineral substances.
Of course, patients need such auxiliary drugs that would ensure the onset of an erection at the right time. For example, these could bepharmacological agents containing an active ingredient that promotes the expansion of the corpora cavernosa and an increase in blood flow to the genitals.
There are several types of tablets that contain this substance. The most popular and sought-after remedy is a highly effective drug. The action of the drug begins within 15-25 minutes after ingestion and lasts 5-6 hours. The recommended dose is 10 mg / day, however, men over the age of 60 should reduce it to 5 mg / day. Read the instructions carefully - the drug has contraindications (a previous stroke or myocardial infarction, genetic diseases of the retina, kidney pathology).
However, don't be mad about it. Men with a history of the aforementioned pathologies canrestore potency with an alternative drug based on affinity purified antibodies against endothelial NO synthase.
