A note from the editor

Erectiva Health editorial desk
contact@erectivahealth.co.uk

Hi there,

Erectile dysfunction is common and treatable. Talking about it shouldn't be hard, and comparing providers shouldn't be either.

We built Erectiva Health in 2026 to put the main US telehealth options on one honest page: who offers what, how the online visit works and what to check before you sign up.

We don't sell medication and we don't give medical advice. Every provider here requires a consultation with a licensed clinician. If something feels off, see your own doctor. ED can be an early signal of heart or metabolic health issues.

Stay well,

The Erectiva Health team

Do I need a prescription for ED medication?

Yes. Sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and similar medications are prescription-only in the United States. Every provider listed on Erectiva Health requires an online medical assessment reviewed by a licensed clinician before any medication can be prescribed.

Is online ED treatment safe?

Reputable telehealth services use US-licensed providers and licensed pharmacies. Safety depends on giving accurate health information. ED medications can interact with nitrates and some blood-pressure drugs and are not suitable for everyone. Always follow your prescriber's advice.

Does Erectiva Health sell medication?

No. Erectiva Health is an independent informational comparison site. We do not sell, prescribe or dispense medication, and we do not provide medical advice. Any purchase happens directly on the provider's own website.

How does Erectiva Health make money?

We may receive a commission when you visit a provider through our links. This never changes what you pay. Our scores are based on our published methodology. See our Advertising Disclosure for details.

What is the difference between sildenafil and tadalafil?

Both are PDE5 inhibitors. Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra®) is typically taken shortly before activity and lasts around 4–6 hours. Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis®) can last up to 36 hours and is also available as a low daily dose. A clinician will advise which is appropriate.

Are generic ED medications as effective as branded ones?

FDA-approved generics contain the same active ingredient, strength and dosage form as the branded product and must meet the same quality standards. Compounded products are different: they are not FDA-approved.
