DiscreetCare uses telemedicine technology to provide a discreet, convenient, and affordable way for you to receive erectile dysfunction treatment from a U.S. licensed physician.
Complete our secure online medical form, submit your proof of identification and our physicians will determine if you’re eligible for ED medication.
The American Urological Association claims that oral PDE-5 inhibitors should be offered as the “first line of therapy for erectile dysfunction.”
So based on that, our physicians prescribe the two most popular PDE-5 oral medications:
Sildenafil (generic Viagra)
Tadalafil (generic Cialis)
Sildenafil citrate is the active ingredient in Viagra, generic Viagra, and sildenafil. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis and generic Cialis. The main difference between the medications is how long they last.
Sildenafil citrate usually takes about 30 minutes to one hour to start working and then lasts for about four hours. Tadalafil usually takes 30 minutes to two hours to start working and then lasts for about 36 hours.
Sildenafil citrate is less effective when taken with food and it can cause temporary blue vision (as if you’re looking through blue-tinted glasses) in some users. Tadalafil can be taken with food and is much less likely to cause temporary blue vision in users. Tadalafil can also be taken daily at lower doses.
Both Viagra and Cialis state that over 80% of their users reported an improvement in their erections.
Although oral ED medication generally works on the majority of men, It’s important to note that everyone’s reaction to a medication is unique. As a result, your DiscreetCare will work with you to determine the most effective treatment plan.
No, ED medication will not automatically give you an erection. You still need to be sexually aroused to achieve an erection but ED medication makes this process easier.
Taking ED medication alone will not necessarily make you want to have sex. This is because ED medication doesn’t directly affect your sex drive, or libido.
Yes. DiscreetCare’s online form is designed to determine a patient’s medical history and symptoms which, in most cases, allows the physician to diagnose whether they have ED.
That’s why it’s extremely important you answer each question truthfully and as accurate as possible
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 the nearest location to get a free, clinically verified blood pressure reading. Higi Stations are available free of charge at Rite Aids nationwide, and Pursuant Health stations are available free of charge at Walmart’s nationwide.

DiscreetCare uses telemedicine technology to provide a discreet, convenient, and affordable way for you to receive hair loss treatment from a U.S. licensed physician.
Complete our secure online medical form, submit your proof of identification and our physicians will determine if you’re eligible for hair loss medication.
Depending on your condition, our physician may recommend one or both of the following safe and effective treatments:
Finasteride (generic Propecia) – a prescription pill that’s primarily used to stop further hair loss across the entirety of your head and possibly regrow some hair you have lost.
Minoxidil (generic Rogaine) – a topical treatment that’s most effective for regrowth along the top of your head and crown.
In one study, Finasteride was effective at stopping hair loss in 83% of men compared to 28% for the placebo group.
The majority of hair loss in men is due to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is formed when testosterone is exposed to an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Finasteride works by blocking the ability of 5-alpha reductase to convert testosterone to DHT.
This reduces your body’s DHT level and stops the hormone from binding to your hair follicles and causing damage.
Finasteride can even cause mild regrowth in hair that is starting to thin.
Finasteride is not appropriate for all men and should never be used by women or handled by pregnant women.
Finasteride typically takes three months to start seeing noticeable results and make take up to one year to see maximum results.
You must continue to take Finasteride on a daily basis to maintain your results. If you stop, your hair loss may return.
Finasteride is an oral tablet taken once a day.
When applied to your scalp, Minoxidil widens the blood vessels, facilitating the flow of blood to hair follicles. This increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, possibly promoting hair growth.
Minoxidil actively promotes the growth of hair by causing hairs in a resting state to shed and replacing them with new hairs in the growing phase.
A temporary effect may be initial rapid hair loss during the first month as your resting hairs shed. This is normal and once they’re replaced with hairs in the growing phase, Minoxidil can produce a noticeably thicker head of hair.
It may take 3 to 4 months of daily use before you see any noticeable improvement.
If you do not see any new hair growth after 4 months, stop using and contact your medical practitioner.
Minoxidil is available as a spray, liquid, or topical foam and in a variety of concentrations.
Yes. During your online visit, we’ll ask you to take and upload a few photos. This helps your physician determine the appropriate treatment option.

Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates sooner during sexual intercourse than he or his partner would like.
Although there is no “specific” time that defines premature ejaculation – some experts use under 4 minutes as a guideline.
While there is no “one” treatment that works for everyone, many men can be treated successfully using prescription oral medication or topical cream:
Presently, there aren’t any medications specifically approved by the FDA to treat PE.
However, SSRIs like Sertraline have been shown in clinical practice to be effective in helping men delay orgasm and ejaculation.
SSRIs are prescription medication, meaning you’ll need to speak with a physician about this PE treatment method. Physicians are generally permitted to prescribe a drug for an “off label” or “unapproved” use when they determine it is medically appropriate for their patient.
The FDA requires that drugs go through a clinical testing process to establish that they’re safe and effective to treat a particular condition. Healthcare providers generally may prescribe the drug for an unapproved use when they judge that it is medically appropriate for their patient.
This type of prescribing is called “off-label” prescribing. Off-label prescribing practices are sometimes validated by clinical experience and research and may be a widely recognized clinical practice.
DiscreetCare uses telemedicine technology to provide a discreet, convenient, and affordable way for you to receive hair loss treatment from a U.S. licensed physician.
Complete our secure online medical form, submit your proof of identification and our physicians will determine if you’re eligible for PE medication.

Cold sores are a symptom of the highly contagious Herpes Simplex Virus (or HSV-1).
Cold sores are small sores or blisters that appear on the lips, chin, cheeks, inside the nostrils, and less frequently on the gums or the roof of the mouth.
The best way to control and eliminate cold sores is by using scientifically-proven, prescription antiviral medication.
Valacyclovir is one of the most commonly used medications to treat and control HSV-1 and HSV-2.
Research shows that people who use Valacyclovir early in the process of a cold sore forming have a much quicker recovery period, usually within 24 hours.
Valacyclovir also reduces the risk of other cold sores forming as the infection spreads into other parts of the lips and mouth.
The best approach to treating cold sores is to attack them before they can even be seen. This involves having Valacyclovir on hand so it can be taken at the earliest sign of a sore.
If you have several outbreaks throughout the year, your doctor may prescribe you to take Valacyclovir every day to prevent outbreaks from happening.

Though they infect different parts of the body, cold sores and genital herpes are caused by the same virus. There are two strains of the herpes virus; cold sores are more frequently caused by HSV-1, while genital herpes is more commonly associated with HSV-2. Both strains of the virus can be effectively treated using the same medication.
Please see our Orders / Medication FAQs for information about orders, pricing, delivery, etc.
Genital herpes is a contagious disease caused by a Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). There are two types of HSV (HSV-1 and HSV-2), but most cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-2.
Unlike cases of oral herpes where HSV-1 causes sores around the lips and mouth, genital herpes causes sores around the genital and/or rectal areas.
The CDC estimates that about 1 in 8 Americans, ages 14–49, are infected with genital herpes.
Genital herpes is highly contagious and is primarily spread by genital contact during sexual activity.
The only way to definitively know if you have genital herpes is to receive a proper medical diagnosis.
Symptoms can begin within 2-12 days after exposure to the virus, but they also may not occur at all.
In the case where no symptoms are present, the person is still a carrier of the virus and can spread genital herpes to others.
Although there is no cure for genital herpes, there are several antiviral medications available that have been used to reduce the frequency and duration of outbreaks.
These medications also lessen the severity of the symptoms as well as reduce the risk of transmission to others.
The most common antiviral medication is Valacyclovir (generic Valtrex).

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.
Acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.
Acne signs vary depending on the severity of your condition:
Acne usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders.
There are four main causes of acne:
Fortunately, there are a variety of topical and oral medication options for acne.
Acne medications work by reducing oil production and swelling or by treating bacterial infection. You may not see results for four to eight weeks and it could take months for your acne to clear up completely.
Book an online visit with one of our physicians to determine the most effective treatment for you.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that belongs to a group of antibiotics called tetracyclines.
Doxycycline is the most commonly prescribed oral antibiotic (pill or capsule) for acne.
Doxycycline is used to treat moderate to severe inflammatory acne, or mild inflammatory acne that isn’t getting better with other treatments.
Doxycycline is in a class of medications called tetracycline antibiotics. It works to treat infections by preventing the growth and spread of bacteria. It works to treat acne by killing the bacteria that infects pores and decreasing a certain natural oily substance that causes acne.
Antibiotics such as doxycycline will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
For Doxycycline side effects click here.
Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide are in a class of medications called topical antibiotics.
Clindamycin is an antibiotic that stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide also stops the growth of bacteria as well as reduce oil production in the skin, helping keep your pores open.
It may take up to 6 weeks to see a decrease in acne and up to 12 weeks to see the full benefit of the medication.
