Since the start of the human race, erectile dysfunction has existed. But it's only a few years back that erectile dysfunction drugs have been invented in order to provide respite to all the men who have been fighting ED. The irony of the matter is that erectile dysfunction is a very widespread disease, but because of the social stigmas it has never been highlighted. Though medication have been discovered for diseases that are less common and more complicated than ED, still ED treatment has always lagged behind. But today those days are over.

To a great extent, people have been able to do away with all the misconceptions and the stigmas that have been attached with erectile dysfunction. Thanks to the overboard publicity campaigns that the ED medicines conducted before the launch of their respective products. The shedding of all the inhibitions regarding sex also helped men in coming out with their problems related to ED. Undoubtedly; the media also has a role to play in this new found openness regarding the aspects related to sex.

So, finally people today have medications for the treatment of ED. In spite of all the side effects and the cost factor, the three ED drugs that have been introduced till date namely, Pfizer Viagra, Lily Icos Cialis, and Bayer Levitra have done quite well in treating ED.

However, there always has to be a thought of caution on the part of the customers before jumping into any and every product that comes their way. After all the medical wizards that manufacture the ED drugs don't just invent drugs just for the purpose of serving humanity. Sure, this motive is always there, but then there is another very important factor that drives these companies to invent new and better drugs. And that's the simple motive of making money. Sometimes this second motive gets the better of the first nobler motive. So, it would do good if some kind of scrutiny is done before grabbing a product.

If we take the case of the ED drug , this drug was introduced in the market so that it could compensate for some of the loss that the company's cholesterol treatment Baycol incurred. The latter almost sunk the fortunes of Bayer. So it is but natural that the company would go out of the way to do good all the losses that it had gone through. As a result a lot of emphasis was made on the aspects of the drug, that it could also be administrated to the old men suffering from cardio vascular diseases. A boon that the other ED drugs were devoid of.

No doubt ED drug Levitra has these plus points. But they are over dwelt upon, so that they can boost up the sinking fortunes of Bayer. If going by these advertisements you and have it without prescription you may get into an unwanted soup. Even when you after medical consultation, you are anyway hiking the sales of the drug. Well, the bottom line is that don't just go for any product, be it drugs or even otherwise blindly, else you will be the one regretting!
