FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I really get an ED prescription the same day?
Yes, in most states. An online visit — questionnaire or video — can produce a prescription within hours, and a pharmacy counter can fill it immediately. What cannot be done same-day is mail-order, which is what most of the advertised brands actually sell.
Is same-day ED treatment more expensive?
It does not have to be. The visit fee is the extra cost; the medication half can still be bought at a cash price with a free discount card, which is usually cheaper than a subscription. Speed and cost only conflict if you assume same-day means brand-name.
Can I buy ED pills over the counter today?
No. Sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and avanafil are prescription-only in the US without exception, and any site selling them otherwise is operating illegally — its tablets are frequently counterfeit. See buying safely and spotting counterfeits.
Once I have the tablets, how fast do they work?
That is a different question with a different answer — avanafil is the fastest of the four, and a sublingual format bypasses digestion entirely. See the fastest-acting treatments ranked.
What if no service operates in my state?
Then the fastest route is an appointment with your own clinician and a retail fill, which is also the cheapest. Availability restrictions are a licensing matter, not a judgement about you.
