Stagger uses a secure, digital health platform to provide a discreet, convenient, and affordable way for you to receive erectile dysfunction treatment from an Australian based medical team – all without leaving the couch. Complete the online questionnaire and our clinicians will determine if you’re a candidate for ED treatment.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners states that “The most common first-line therapy is a PDE5 inhibitor” – so this is what Stagger provides.

Our Aussie GPs prescribe the most common PDE-5 oral medications.

If you take your ED medication too soon before sex, it might not become active quickly enough and you could be left with an awkward situation where the drug isn’t quite fully active when you need it most.
It’s suggested that ED medication should be taken 1-2 hours before sexual activity.
Remember, please follow the directions as prescribed by your clinician.

On average, 78% of patients reported an improvement in their erections using PDE-5 inhibitors (source).

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 Stagger medical team 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 with Stagger, please contact your clinician through your portal in the products tab if you have any questions.

After you take ED medication, it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to approximately one hour to start working. It’s not an instant reaction (as much as we’d like it to be).

If medications like PDE-5 inhibitors don’t seem to work for you, that’s completely fine and nothing to worry about. There are other treatments available that may be able to improve your erectile function and allow you to enjoy a satisfying sex life.

Because most ED drugs work similarly, they also have similar side effects. These side effects typically occur while the medications are active in the body, although in some cases it’s possible for the side effects of ED medication to last for slightly longer than the drug itself.

Commonly reported side effects of ED drugs are:

• Mild headaches, which are associated with all ED drugs.
• Dizziness. The dizziness from ED medication is typically not severe, but it can potentially lead to discomfort and fainting in people with underlying health conditions such as cardiovascular conditions
• Muscle aches or back pain
• Stuffy nose
• Facial flush, which can range from mild facial redness to bright red skin that looks like it’s affected by a rash
• Vision issues, including temporary blurry vision and blue-tinted vision.
• Digestive issues, ranging from diarrhoea to indigestion and bloating. These are usually temporary and can be made worse by consuming alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, and dairy products.
• Indigestion

It’s important to pay close attention to these side effects if you have cardiovascular health conditions.

All of the ED medications currently available can cause a mild reduction in your blood pressure levels. This is caused by their effects on smooth muscle tissue and blood flow. This reduction is mild and does not cause any dangerous side effects in healthy men.

If you use nitrates or other medications to treat hypertension, the reduction in blood pressure caused by ED medications can be dangerous.

It’s important you answer honestly and truthfully on your questionnaire to ensure our medical team can provide the best treatment for you.

Yes, in most cases. Erectile dysfunction can be diagnosed by a physician based on a patient self-reporting their symptoms and medical history.

Our Australian based clinicians ask you questions to evaluate your symptoms and make sure it’s safe and appropriate to prescribe ED medication. They then 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 answer in the questionnaire is answered truthful, accurate and thorough.

Stagger consultations have a one-off cost of $35.

Australian law prevents the advertising of prescription medication costs (and for good reason), which makes this question hard to answer! However, our medications start at $3/dose.

Your assigned Australian based clinician will assess you based on the answers you provide to our online questionnaire. Your medical team needs to know about your health (like your medications, lifestyle issues, any prior surgery and medical conditions) and how exactly ED affects you. They’ll then review everything, determine if you’re a candidate for telemedicine and craft a personalised treatment plan just for you, guided by your background medical information.
