14 December, 2005

Apart from the available erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs such as Cialis and Viagra and ED generic drugs such as Caverta, Kamagra and Silagra, there are other options also available for treating ED such as vacuum pumps and injections. A Caverject injection contains the prescription drug alprostadil, which usually produces an erection within five to 10 minutes. The needle of the injection is so small that it causes very little discomfort.

Apart from these, Vacuum pump or vacuum constriction device (VCD) are also available for treating ED. It’s an external pump with a band on it that a man with erectile dysfunction can use to get and maintain an erection.The VCD consists of an acrylic cylinder with a pump that may be attached directly to the end of the penis. The cylinder and pump are used to create a vacuum to help the penis become erect and the band or constriction ring on the other hand is used to help maintain the erection.
