Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Sildenafil (Viagra) are all medications used to treat erectile dysfunction by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical the body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis, increasing blood flow and allowing an erection in response to sexual stimulation. Testosterone enanthate is a form of testosterone used for hormone therapy in men who do not produce enough testosterone but is not specifically for treating erectile dysfunction. Propranolol is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and other conditions, not erectile dysfunction.
