How Each Treatment Works
Viagra (sildenafil) works by inhibiting PDE5 enzymes, relaxing blood vessel muscles and increasing blood flow to the penis. It's taken 30–60 minutes before sex and lasts 4–6 hours. The P-Shot, by contrast, uses PRP injected directly into penile tissue to stimulate long-term biological repair — improving baseline erectile function without needing to take a pill each time.
Effectiveness Comparison
Viagra is effective in approximately 70–85% of cases for achieving erection sufficient for intercourse. The P-Shot is effective in approximately 60–80% of cases for meaningful improvement in erectile function. For performance enhancement rather than clinical ED treatment, the P-Shot may offer superior results with improved sensitivity and stamina.
Duration of Results
Viagra: effects last 4–6 hours per dose. The P-Shot: results last 12–18 months from a single treatment. For men who take Viagra regularly, the annual cost can easily exceed £500–£1,000, making the one-time £300 P-Shot economically competitive over the medium term.
Side Effects Comparison
Viagra side effects include: headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, visual disturbances, and in rare cases, hearing loss or priapism. P-Shot side effects are localised: temporary bruising and swelling for 24–72 hours. For men who experience significant Viagra side effects, the P-Shot offers a compelling alternative.
Can You Combine P-Shot with Viagra?
Yes — many patients find that combining the P-Shot with occasional use of Viagra (or Cialis) produces superior results. The P-Shot improves baseline function while medications provide additional support when needed. Over time, many patients report needing medication less frequently after P-Shot treatment.
