Dilation of blood vessels may be PDE5 inhibitors if they help with erections. Common ones are Sildenafil or Tadalafil. I would not take medications if you are uncertain of what they are. It is important that you are aware of and make decisions regarding your own healthcare. You should verify what the medications are before taking them. Steroids would not be used for erectile dysfunction.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Timothy Wong, General & Family Physician
