The "best" medicine for the penis depends entirely on the specific condition being treated. There is no single medicine to improve all aspects of penile health. Let's examine treatments for common concerns:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
For erectile dysfunction (ED), several oral medications are available:
- Sildenafil (Viagra): This medication works best when taken on an empty stomach an hour before sexual activity. Mayo Clinic
- Tadalafil (Cialis): Another effective oral medication for ED.
- Vardenafil: Yet another option for treating ED.
- Avanafil (Stendra): An additional oral medication used to treat ED.
These medications increase blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection. It's crucial to consult a doctor to determine the appropriate medication and dosage. Other treatments for ED include penile injections (using Trimix, Bimix, or papaverine) and lifestyle changes like exercise and quitting smoking. Cleveland Clinic

- Topical chemotherapy: Such as fluorouracil for stage 0 penile cancer. NCI
- Systemic chemotherapy: For more advanced stages. NCI
