Medication Management: A Tool, Not a Crutch

Our Medication Philosophy

We see medication as a way to "open a window of opportunity." It can provide the initial confidence and functional improvement needed to successfully engage in the other, more permanent aspects of therapy.

For Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Medications like Sildenafil (Viagra®) and Tadalafil (Cialis®) are PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis. Our approach involves:

• Health Screening: Ensuring you have no cardiovascular contraindications that would make these medications unsafe.
• Finding the Right Fit: Choosing between on-demand (Sildenafil) or daily (Tadalafil) options based on your lifestyle and preferences.
• Confidence Building: Using the medication to break the cycle of performance anxiety, allowing you to regain natural confidence.

For Premature Ejaculation (PE)

Certain medications, like SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), are highly effective at delaying ejaculation. Our approach is to:

• Use as a Training Tool: We may prescribe low-dose SSRIs to provide a "neurological safety net." This makes it much easier for you to practice and master the crucial behavioral techniques (like Stop-Start) that lead to long-term, medication-free control.
• Develop an Exit Strategy: For many patients, the goal is to use medication as a temporary aid while they build their skills, eventually tapering off as they gain natural control.
