Erectile Dysfunction in Charlotte, NC
Tadalafil, commonly known as generic Cialis, is an FDA-approved medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It works by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5, which leads to the relaxation of blood vessels and increased blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain erections.
-
Share or Obtain New Bloodwork: If you're only interested in the tadalafil program, you'll need to provide CBC (Complete Blood Count) and CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) results.
2. Lab Work $60 if needed
2. Set Up a Single Telemedicine Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a provider for $79.
Supplemental Medication to Support TRT Therapy
Supplemental medications or treatments commonly used to support or enhance testosterone levels include:
Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid) – Stimulates natural testosterone production by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) – Mimics LH, stimulating the testes to produce more testosterone.
Aromatase Inhibitors (Anastrozole, Letrozole) – Reduce estrogen levels, which can help maintain higher testosterone levels, especially in men with elevated estrogen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) – These medications (like Tamoxifen) block estrogen receptors, preventing estrogen from suppressing testosterone production.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) – A precursor hormone that can convert to testosterone in the body
.
Zinc and Vitamin D – Nutrients that can aid in testosterone production.
