Although everyone responds differently to medications, up to 80% of patients who took sildenafil had positive results. Studies show that patients taking erection- boosting medications such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil have a higher chance of achieving successful sexual intercourse.
Most guys find that these medications do the trick, but we know they aren't a one-size-fits-all solution. If you're not getting the results you want from our medications - don't worry. We've got a variety of other erection-enhancing options and doses for you to explore. Just click below to check out our different plans and see what might work better for you.

The effective absorption of medications depends on the formulation (liquid, chewable, or sublingual) and the active ingredient.
The absorption of chewable and liquid medications containing sildenafil and vardenafil can be affected by meals, especially large meals or those containing a lot of fat. If these products are taken with or after a meal, it may take longer for the medicine to work. This applies to: SIL, VAR, and ENERGY
Sublingual products and those containing the active ingredient tadalafil may be taken without regard to food. This applies to: TAD, GOLD, MAX, and VMAX
DailyTAD should be taken with food to allow for increased vitamin absorption.
Drinking alcohol while taking erection-enhancing medications can increase the risk of experiencing side effects, particularly low blood pressure. Alcohol consumption can also be a cause of erectile troubles for some patients.
Studies have shown no major interactions with mild to moderate alcohol consumption, as in one to two 12 oz beers, one to two 1 oz shots of liquor, or one to two 6 oz glasses of wine per day.
Once you submit your medical intake form, our medical team will review the information submitted and ensure all answers are complete. After completion, our BlueChew-affiliated providers will review your medical chart information to determine if treatment is appropriate.
