Viking Man uses telemedicine technology to provide a discreet, convenient, and affordable way for you to receive erectile dysfunction treatment from a U.S. Licensed physician. All without leaving the couch. Complete the dynamic onboarding, submit your photo, ID, and recent blood pressure reading, and our physicians will determine if you're a candidate for telemedicine.
Erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of a more serious underlying condition — like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or even depression. That's why we strongly recommend optional laboratory tests.
These tests aren't required to receive treatment on the Viking Man platform. But they help identify the underlying cause of your ED. We want you to get the most comprehensive treatment possible. That's why we'll analyze your results for free. Just send us your most recent blood test and we'll add it to your account information to help our physicians give you the most comprehensive care from the convenience of your phone.
The American Urological Association claims that oral PDE–5 inhibitors should be offered as the “first line of therapy for erectile dysfunction.” So that's what we do.
Physicians on the Viking Man Platform prescribe the most common PDE–5 oral medications which include:
Viagra's FDA approved prescribing information claims that “ 82% of patients reported an improvement in their erections . ” Other PDE–5 inhibitors (Cialis, Levitra) showed similar results .
Oral ED medication is generally considered extremely effective and studies show it works on the majority of men. But ED medication doesn't work for everyone. It's important to note that everyone's reaction to a medication is unique.
Your Viking Man physician may recommend trying the medication multiple times under different circumstances. They may also increase your dose, depending on your reaction to the medication and any side effects. If you've been prescribed ED medication on the Viking Man platform, please contact a physician from your account page if you have any questions.
Yes, in most cases. Erectile dysfunction can be diagnosed by a physician based on a patient self–reporting their symptoms and medical history.
Physicians on the Viking Man platform use telemedicine technologies to diagnose ED in the same way they diagnose patients in–person. Doctors ask you questions to evaluate your symptoms and make sure it's safe and appropriate to prescribe ED medication. The physicians on the Viking Man platform use your answers to diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan. That's why it's vital you answer each question to the best of your knowledge and ensure that every communication with your physician is truthful, accurate, and thorough.
In addition, it's strongly recommended that you let your physician order laboratory tests to assist in trying to understanding the cause of your ED. These tests are optional and not a requirement for receiving treatment, but more information is always useful for diagnosis and treatment.
Your blood pressure is an important part of determining whether it's safe for you to take ED medication. It can be dangerous to take ED medication if your blood pressure is above or below a certain value.
To complete a comprehensive medical history during your online visit, you need to enter your most recent blood pressure reading within the last 6 months. If you haven't had your blood pressure taken within the last 6 months, you can get a free blood pressure reading at thousands of locations across the country. Enter your location into higi or Pursuant Health to find a place near you that offers free, clinically verified blood pressure readings.
If you're measuring your blood pressure at home, make sure the device has been “clinically validated.” You can purchase a device online or at your local pharmacy. We recommend an upper arm cuff over a wrist or finger blood pressure monitor.
Before taking your blood pressure, it's important to avoid the following factors that may cause your blood pressure to temporarily rise:
When you're ready, find a quiet place and sit for 5–10 minutes. Make sure you're relaxed and have recently urinated (a full bladder can affect your reading). Roll up your sleeve so that your arm is bare. Apply the cuff on your upper arm and following the directions on the device.
Please make sure to take at least two readings. Enter the higher of the two readings during your online dynamic visit.
Oral ED medications are extremely effective, but they don't work for everyone.
Other treatment options for ED include lifestyle improvements (like exercise, diet, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol use), surgery, penile vacuum pumps, and other ED medications. Every treatment comes with risks and benefits that you should fully understand before moving forward with any treatment plan.
Currently, the only erectile dysfunction treatment we offer are oral PDE–5 inhibitors in the form of:
If you'd like to pursue alternative ED treatment, we recommend speaking with a physician in–person. Contact our team at [email protected] and we can recommend a doctor in your area.
Orders ship in discreet boxes or envelopes, with all medication in single use packs. These single use packs are not child proof.
