Why Choose Erex 100 mg
Genuine advantages:
Contains sildenafil citrate, the most established ED molecule.
Sildenafil has been in clinical use since 1998.
No other ED drug has a longer safety record.
Its interaction profile is the best characterised in the class.
Most doctors worldwide recognise the active ingredient.
Emergency staff will know exactly what you have taken.
Provides an effect window of 4 to 5 hours.
Taken only when needed, not on a daily schedule.
A conventional tablet needs no special handling or storage.
Generic sildenafil is usually the lowest-cost ED option.
Honest limitations you should know:
100 mg is the maximum dose, not the starting dose.
Most men should begin treatment at 50 mg.
A fatty meal delays onset by about an hour.
The effect lasts hours, not the 36 hours tadalafil offers.
Blue-tinged vision is more common than with newer drugs.
This is a conventional tablet with no format advantage.
Chewable and jelly options exist if swallowing is difficult.
You are using sildenafil for the first time.
You are aged 65 or over.
You need a 25 mg or 50 mg dose.
You have difficulty swallowing tablets.
You want cover across a whole weekend.
You have had visual side effects on sildenafil before.
Bottom line:
Sildenafil at the maximum single dose in a standard tablet. For most men, a 50 mg product is the better starting point.
