The Real Cost of ED Pills: What You’re Actually Spending To Stay Hard

Erectile dysfunction pills may seem like an affordable solution. After all, how much can a little blue pill actually cost? Turns out, plenty. 

Over time, the cost of ED pills can really add up. You might be surprised to learn how much they cost per month or how much you’re spending over a year.

In this blog post, we’ll break down exactly what it costs to use ED medications for your erectile dysfunction. 

How Much Do Brand Name ED Pills Cost

Brand-name ED pills can cost a whopping $50 - $70 or more—and that’s per dose! If you have sex only twice per week, that could cost as much as $560 per month or $6,720 per year. 

For chewable, brand-name ED pills, the cost can go as high as $135 per dose or $540 to $1080 or more per month.

The cost of using brand-name ED pills might vary from a few hundred dollars to $1,000 or more a month, depending upon the medication you’re using, what dose you need, and how often you have sex. 

How Much Do Generic ED Pills Cost?

The news is better with generic versions, but the cost can still add up. Prices range from $10.15 to $37.99 per dose, depending on which drug you’re using. 

A 5 mg dose of one generic ED medication can cost from $10.15 to $34.29 for 10 tablets. Higher doses (10 mg and 20 mg) can start around $21 for 10 pills. At twice a week, 10 pills would be enough for a little over a month’s supply. 

Of course, many men have to increase their dosage in order to get ED pills to continue working over time. That means the $21 price for 10 pills is more realistic, and that would set you back $252 per year or $756 over three years. And that’s only if you have sex about twice a week. If you have sex more than that, your cost will go up.

Some other generic ED pills can cost even more, from around $35.79 to $128 for 10 20-mg tablets.

Factors Influencing the Cost of ED Pills

There are several reasons why the cost of ED pills varies. These include:

• Using coupons and discounts provided by the drug manufacturer

• Which pharmacy you use

• The dosage

• Whether you’re buying brand-name or generic ED drugs

• Whether you’re using online services or getting the prescription from your doctor

Does Insurance Cover ED Pills?

Whether your insurance covers ED medications depends on your specific plan. In some cases, insurance may only cover generic versions or not cover them at all. 

In cases where ED drugs are covered, insurance may limit the amount of pills you can take. You would also need to have an erectile dysfunction diagnosis, and prior authorization may be required. 

At-Home Acoustic Soundwave Therapy: An Affordable Solution 

At-home acoustic soundwave therapy delivers powerful sound waves into your penile tissue to support healthy blood flow and stimulate strong erections. It’s engineered to deliver at least one million clinical-strength pulses, which equals about 70 treatments. 

You use it twice a week for a month, take a break for 30 days, then resume treatments for another 30 days. Some men notice improvements in just a few weeks, while others report stronger erections in 60 to 90 days. Over time, touch-up treatments may be required.  

Unlike pills, which are just a band-aid solution, at-home acoustic soundwave therapy works with your body to generate impressive results. 

At $700 - $879 or less to own the device, with payments as low as $43/month, it’s an affordable solution that you can use in the privacy of your home, without a prescription.

Combine an at-home acoustic soundwave therapy device with the Smart Ring for an even better deal. The Smart Ring applies pressure at the base of the penis to help trap blood, for firmer, stronger erections. It also tracks real-time erection health and measures sexual health factors such as nocturnal erections. 

The Price You Pay for ED Pills

In the end, ED medications can hurt the wallet, and you may need to take more and more over time as they can lose their effectiveness. A more affordable option is an at-home acoustic soundwave device that supports healthy blood flow and delivers long-term benefits for better sexual function.
