Hezkue is a sildenafil suspension oral spray that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It contains the same active ingredient as Viagra, called sildenafil, but Hezkue can be used in place of ED pills.

Hezkue spray is a prescription-only medication, which means you will need approval from a doctor before you can obtain it.

Sildenafil spray vs tablets

The biggest difference between sildenafil spray and tablets, like Viagra, is the way they are administered. Hezkue spray is a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional ED pills. Some of the key benefits of Hezkue spray over sildenafil tablets include:

• faster absorption
• discreet and portable
• no need to take it with water
• easier for anyone who finds it difficult to take tablets
• flexible dosage options
• gentler on your stomach

Hezkue works the same in the same way as other sildenafil products like Viagra and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors in that it increases blood flow to the penis, helping you to get and maintain an erection. It does this by relaxing the smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels in the penis, allowing the blood flow in your penis to increase.

Unlike tablets, Hezkue spray is absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your mouth.

How effective is Hezkue for erectile dysfunction?

Studies show it’s as effective as tablets for treating erectile dysfunction. Clinical trials have shown that a 50mg dose of sildenafil was effective in 74% of people, while a lower 25mg dose was 62% effective, and the highest 100mg dose was 82% effective compared to a placebo.

A study investigating the effects of a sildenafil oral spray in people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes found that it reduced body weight, waist circumference, insulin, and HbA1c levels in those with type 2 diabetes and effectively improved erectile dysfunction in both groups.

Before using Hezkue, perform 3 practice pumps away from your mouth to prime the pump and ensure it is working properly. To do this, you will need to:

1. Shake the bottle for 20 seconds to help mix the suspension.
2. Remove the screw cap by pushing it down firmly and turning it anticlockwise.
3. Place the dosage pump on top of the bottle, sliding the plastic tube carefully into the liquid in the bottle. Hold the dosing pump onto the neck of the bottle and screw clockwise until it is firmly attached.
4. Turn the nozzle to the open position.
5. Activate the pump 3 times to prime the pump, but discard any product that is released into absorbent material, like kitchen towel.
6. The pump is now ready for use.

Once the pump has been primed, it is ready to be used. If you do not prime it before each use, there is a chance that a lower dose will be given.

To use the Hezkue spray, you should:

1. Tilt your head back and open your mouth.
2. Press the dosage pump as many times as prescribed so that the medication lands on your tongue.
3. Swallow the suspension straight away.
4. Turn the nozzle on the dosage pump to closed.
5. Remove the dosage pump from the bottle by unscrewing it anticlockwise.
6. Replace the child-proof screw cap on the bottle and turn it clockwise to close it after use.
7. Wash the dosage pump thoroughly with water and allow it to dry thoroughly before the next use.

When to take Hezkue

You should take Hezkue around 30 minutes to 1 hour before you want to have sex.

How long does Hezkue take to work?

Research by Hezkue’s manufacturer claims that absorption begins within as little as 5 minutes of being taken. However, most people will find that Hezkue is effective within 30 minutes of taking it.

How long does Hezkue last?

When taken as prescribed, Hezkue can last for up to 5 hours. However, the effects can vary between individuals.

Each spray of the Hezkue pump administers 12.5 mg of sildenafil. The usual dose is 4 pumps, which is equivalent to 50mg, but the spray allows for easy, flexible dosing if you find the effects are too strong or not strong enough. For example:

• 1 pump = 12.5mg
• 2 pumps = 25mg
• 4 pumps = 50mg
• 8 pumps = 100mg

Hezkue spray is a prescription-only medication, which means you will need a doctor’s approval to get it, either privately from a clinic or from a trusted online doctor service.

Can I get Hezkue on the NHS?

No, Hezkue is not currently available on the NHS. Instead, generic sildenafil tablets may be a suitable option if you are looking for an NHS erectile dysfunction treatment.

How long do Hezkue side effects last?

Most Hezkue side effects are often mild and only last a few hours to a day. Most people find that once the effects of Hezkue have worn off, the side effects also go away.

What to do if you get Hezkue side effects

Mild Hezkue side effects can usually be managed at home by:

• getting plenty of rest until the effects have passed
• taking over the counter painkillers for headaches
• drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoiding alcohol
• avoid driving or operating machinery if Hezkue makes you feel tired or causes you to faint

If you experience any side effects that are difficult to manage or are causing you concern, speak to your doctor for more advice.

If you experience any serious side effects, like chest pains, irregular heartbeat, sudden vision or hearing loss, allergic reaction or a prolonged erection, stop taking Hezkue and go to A&E or call 999.

Hezkue may not be suitable for everyone, so it is important that you discuss your medical history, including any medications you are taking, with a doctor first.

Do not take Hezkue if you:

• are allergic to any of its ingredients
• were assigned female at birth
• are under 18
• are taking any form of nitrates or nitric oxide donors
• have been advised to avoid sex

Before taking Hezkue, let your doctor know if you have:

• recently had a stroke, heart attack, or heart problem
• low blood pressure
• a rare inherited eye disease
• sickle cell anaemia
• a deformity of your penis or Peyronie’s disease
• a stomach ulcer
• a bleeding issue like haemophilia

Hezkue and other medications

Before taking Hezkue, it is important to let your doctor know if you are currently taking or plan to take any prescribed, over-the-counter, or herbal medications, particularly:

• any other PDE-5 inhibitors like Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension
• nitrates
• nitric oxide donors (including amyl nitrate, known as “poppers”)
• riociguat

Hezkue spray is not the only erectile dysfunction medication available. We can provide tablets that last for longer than 4 hours or get to work within 15 minutes, or suggest over-the-counter alternatives to suit your needs. If you’re not sure if your symptoms are being caused by erectile dysfunction, you can order an at-home ED test kit.

Prescription-only medications

Here are some of the common erectile dysfunction medications available that can only be obtained with a prescription from a doctor.

Viagra

Viagra is a tablet form of sildenafil, the same active ingredient as Hezkue. It is also available in a generic form, in 3 different doses (25mg, 50mg, and 100mg). Viagra 50mg tablets are effective in 74% of people compared to a placebo.

Cialis

Cialis contains the active ingredient tadalafil and is the longest-lasting ED medication, providing effective relief for up to 36 hours. It is available in tablet form and is effective in more than 80% of people who take it. Cialis is also available as generic tadalafil.

Spedra

Spedra (avanafil) is a fast-acting erectile dysfunction tablet that gets to work in just 15 to 30 minutes. The effectiveness of the different Spedra doses is as follows:

• 50mg = 47%
• 100mg = 58%
• 200mg = 59%

Vardenafil

Vardenafil is a generic ED medication that is similar to sildenafil and is 80% effective. Vardenafil is more potent than Viagra, lasts longer, and is suitable for people with diabetes.

Over-the-counter ED treatments

Not all ED treatments require a prescription. Here are some of the options available over the counter or without a prescription:

• Viagra Connect – A non-prescription version of Viagra that contains 50mg of sildenafil.
• Superdrug sildenafil – A generic version of Viagra Connect that’s cheaper, but just as effective.
• Cialis Together – An over-the-counter version of Cialis that contains 10mg of tadalafil, which improves erections in 81% of people and can last for up to 36 hours.
• Eroxon gel – A topical gel that’s applied directly to the head of the penis to stimulate the nerve endings, resulting in an erection. It does not contain an active ingredient, so it has few side effects and helps 60% of people get an erection within 10 minutes.
• Penis pump – A manually operated device that can increase blood flow to the penis to help you get and maintain an erection. A penis pump does not contain any medication, so it may be a suitable alternative if you would prefer not to take drugs to treat erectile dysfunction.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Hezkue?

Although drinking a small amount of alcohol is generally considered safe while taking Hezkue, it is not recommended because it can reduce its effectiveness and make erectile dysfunction worse. Alcohol may also enhance the side effects of Hezkue spray, such as feeling sick or lightheadedness.

Can I take Hezkue with other ED medications?

No, you must not use Hezkue with any other erectile dysfunction medications, as this can increase the chance of side effects. If you do not think that Hezkue is working for you, contact your doctor for advice, as they may recommend an alternative ED treatment.

How should I store Hezkue?

There are no special storage instructions for Hezkue, but it must be kept out of sight and reach of children and pets. Do not use the Hezkue spray after the expiry date. Once you have opened the bottle, it must be used within 10 months.

What does Hezkue spray taste like?

Hezkue has a mint flavour which helps to cover up the naturally bitter taste of sildenafil.
