Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your post.

One of the manifestations of diabetic neuropathy is erectile dysfunction. You will need good blood sugar control and try neurotropic drugs.

You can also discuss with your endocrinologist or physician who is treating your diabetes regarding phosphodiaesterase inhibitors like Tadalafil or Sildenafil.

Regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If you can provide me your blood pressure readings, blood suger lavel, HbA1C, tell me what drugs you are taking, and whether your heart's status is fine, then it will be possible for me to suggest if you can take phosphodiesterase inhibitors or not.

Thank you.

Answer 3

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your blood sugar is on the higher side in the last three months. With average blood glucose of more than 200, you also have possibly hyperthyroidism, for which you are taking Neomercazole and you have vitamin D deficiency.

I would suggest starting low dose of phosphodiaesterase inhibitors like Vasosure 20 mg (Sildenafil), half an hour before going to bed and see how you respond to it.

Answer 4

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest taking it for a week, and also start vitamin B complex simultaneously like Becosules, once a day. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent.

Thank you.
