Eropid Sildenafil 50mg Tablet – 8 Tablets

What is Eropid? 

Eropid is an effective treatment for male impotence, or more commonly known as erectile dysfunction, which will aid men in achieving and maintaining an erection for sexual activity. This medication can be easily and discreetly purchased from Chemist4U without the need of a prescription.

How to use Eropid

Always take exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. Eropid should be taken 30-60 minutes prior to any planned sexual activity, however you might find it will take longer to work if taken after a heavy meal. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Eropid should not be taken more than once per day.

How does sildenafil treat erectile dysfunction? 

Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Eropid and works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis which will increase the blood flow, therefore making it easier to produce an erection. Please note that sildenafil will not alter your libido; it is only effective with stimulation.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is a very common problem, especially in men over the age of 40. In fact, most men occasionally fail to produce or maintain an erection. The causes will usually be related to stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol, and are nothing to be concerned about. However if the problem occurs frequently, this may be a sign of an underlying health condition and you should contact your GP or your nearest sexual health clinic. 

Can Eropid be taken with food and drink?

Eropid can be taken with or without food, however you may notice that it will take longer to take effect if taken after a heavy meal. The consumption of alcohol may temporarily impair your ability to produce an erection. In order to get the best results from this medication, excessive alcohol consumption is not advised.
