Brief Answer:
Erectile dysfunction can be treated

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.I can understand your concern.

Erection problem can be treated.

Proper Diagnosis of ED is made when during last 6 months most of attempts of sex(at least 70-80%) are not successful.

Risk factors for ED like blood pressure, diabetes,stress, smoking and alcohol should be checked.
In most of the cases of ED below age of 40 reason is psychological.

Treatment of ED:

5- PDE inhibitor group of medicines like sildenafil or tadalafil are used. One of them should be used 2 hours prior to sex. They causes headache,stuffy nose nausea and gastric discomfort like common side effects. Proper physical check up of cardiac system should be done by a doctor before starting the same.These are prescription medicines and you need to consult doctor/psychiatrist/sexologist for the prescription.

You can use another medicine cum vitamin supplement containing pyridoxal-5-phosphate, mecobalamin and l-methylfolate (trade name tetrafol plus)is very helpful in my patients. It has shown improvement in 50-60% patients of mine with ED.You should take it after meal twice a day. If you feel some improvement in 15 days you should continue for at least 1 month. You may get this medicine over the counter as it is vitamin product.

There are some natural lifestyle measures which help to improve blood flow to penis and overall sexual performance.

- The most important factor is healthy heart. Blood is pumped in to body by heart.So regular exercise and avoidance of fatty fast food are important measures to prevent heart disease. Regular walking, swimming or running overall improves blood flow to whole body circulation including penis and keep the mind fresh.

- Good healthy food is also an important aspect. Bananas, Garlic, dry fruits(they contains vitamins), eggs, cow milk, cow butter are good food which may help in erectile dysfunction.

- Avoid smoking and alcohol. Low amount of alcohol can help in increasing blood flow but more amount can cause opposite effects. So better to avoid the same.

If you have more queries please revert back to me with details about your problem and relevant history from above answer.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Brief Answer:
it is product of Sun pharma

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have already mentioned content of tetrafol plus.It contains levomefolate calcium 2.8 mg, pyridoxal 5-phosphate 25 mg, mecobalamin 2 mg.It is specifically manufactured for erectile dysfunction.Up to my knowledge with these all contents in one product is not available apart from Tetrafol Plus which is product of Sun Pharma. You can ask chemist if he has any product with these contents or different products with these contents.. If you can tell detail to him he can bring Tetrafol plus for you I guess.

Hope you can find now.
