These are all prescription drugs that can be taken orally or injected directly to the penis prior to intercourse. These drugs can also be taken as penile suppositories.

The doctors generally suggest the method of injection when the methods of oral drug as well as the suppositories fail to produce marked result. In such cases, injections of the drug into the erectile tissue of the penile shaft produce better results.

Mechanical Devices

Men with erectile dysfunction problems can also use a device called vacuum erectile device( VED). This device is based on the principle of hydraulics and help to manually create vacuum to help draw blood into it to promote an erection.
