How It Works

BraveRX connects you with prescription erectile dysfunction treatment, licensed medical providers, and discreet delivery. Our compounded formulas offer different combinations of ingredients, with daily and as-needed options in dissolving tablets or traditional capsules.

Here is how the medications work, what makes the formulas different, and what to expect when you get started.

The Quick Answer

BraveRX offers several formulas rather than one medication for everyone. Depending on your prescription, your treatment may include:

• Sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil: medications that support blood flow to help you get and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.
• Apomorphine: an ingredient that acts on dopamine receptors involved in the brain's erectile response.
• L-citrulline or icariin: additional ingredients included in selected Pro formulas.

Your formula determines which ingredients you receive, how you take your medication, and whether you use it daily or as needed. A licensed medical provider reviews your health information and determines whether treatment is appropriate before prescribing.

How the Ingredients Work

Blood Flow: Sildenafil, Tadalafil, and Vardenafil

An erection depends in part on blood reaching the penis and staying there during sexual activity. Sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil belong to a group of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. They help support that blood-flow response when you are sexually stimulated.

You may recognize these ingredients from Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, respectively. A BraveRX compounded formula containing one of these ingredients is a separate preparation from those brand-name medications.

Sildenafil and tadalafil support erections during sexual stimulation; they do not create sexual desire on their own. Their timing differs, which is one reason your provider considers both your medical history and your preferred routine when choosing treatment.

The Brain's Role: Apomorphine

Erections also involve signals from the brain. Apomorphine is a dopamine agonist, meaning it activates dopamine receptors. It acts on pathways in the central nervous system involved in the erectile response and has been studied as a treatment for ED.

BraveRX formulas that contain apomorphine combine this approach with medication that supports blood flow. This is the idea behind addressing both brain signaling and the body's physical response in one prescription.

Ingredients vary across the lineup. Prime Max Core, for example, combines tadalafil and vardenafil without apomorphine and focuses on blood-flow support.

Additional Ingredients in Selected Formulas

Some BraveRX formulas also include L-citrulline or icariin. Prime Daily Pro and Prime Max Pro contain L-citrulline, while Surge Daily Pro contains icariin. These ingredients are distinct from the PDE5 inhibitors and apomorphine described above. Your provider can explain their role in your particular prescription.

Why Combine Ingredients?

Different ingredients act in different ways. A combination formula lets a provider prescribe more than one ingredient in a single tablet or capsule when appropriate for your needs.

Surge Max, for example, combines sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine in a tablet that dissolves under the tongue. Prime Max Pro combines tadalafil, vardenafil, apomorphine, and L-citrulline in a swallowed capsule.

The right combination depends on your health, current medications, and response to treatment. More ingredients do not automatically mean a better fit for every patient.

Dissolving Tablets or Capsules?

BraveRX offers two formats:

• Surge treatments are sublingual tablets that dissolve under the tongue.
• Prime treatments are traditional capsules swallowed with water.

The format is part of your treatment choice, alongside the ingredients and dosing schedule. Follow the instructions supplied with your prescription, since a dissolving tablet and a swallowed capsule are taken differently.

Daily or As Needed?

Daily treatments are taken on a regular schedule, as prescribed. They may suit patients who prefer a consistent routine rather than timing each dose around sexual activity. BraveRX's daily options include Surge Daily Core, Surge Daily Pro, Prime Daily Core, and Prime Daily Pro.

As-needed treatments are taken before sexual activity according to your prescription instructions. BraveRX's as-needed options include Surge Max, Prime Max Core, and Prime Max Pro.

Your provider determines the appropriate dose and schedule. Follow your prescription rather than switching between daily and as-needed use yourself.

How to Get Started With BraveRX

1. Explore Your Treatment Options

Browse the formulas to compare ingredients, formats, and daily or as-needed options. You can express a preference; the prescribing provider makes the medical decision.

2. Complete Your Online Medical Questionnaire

Share your health history, current medications, and treatment goals. A licensed U.S. medical provider reviews your information and may ask follow-up questions to determine whether a prescription is appropriate. You do not need an existing prescription to begin.

3. Receive Your Medication Discreetly

If treatment is prescribed, a licensed pharmacy prepares your medication for discreet delivery. Identity verification is completed before your first order ships. Follow the instructions that come with your prescription, and use your Patient Portal to contact your care team with treatment questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Every BraveRX Formula Contain the Same Ingredients?

No. BraveRX offers several combinations. For example, Surge Max contains sildenafil, tadalafil, and apomorphine, while Prime Max Core contains tadalafil and vardenafil. Check the specific formula and your prescription for your ingredients.

Is BraveRX Compounded?

Yes. BraveRX treatments are compounded medications prepared by licensed pharmacies. Compounding allows ingredients to be combined into a prescribed preparation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; the FDA does not review their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.

How Quickly Does BraveRX Work?

Timing depends on the formula, format, dose, and your individual response. Daily treatment follows a regular schedule, while as-needed treatment is taken before sexual activity. Your prescription instructions explain when to take your medication and how often you can use it.

Do I Need a Prescription?

Yes. A licensed provider must review your medical information and determine whether treatment is appropriate. Completing the questionnaire does not guarantee a prescription.

Can I Take BraveRX With My Other Medications?

Your provider needs to review your full medication and supplement list. PDE5 inhibitors must not be taken with nitrates, including recreational nitrites known as poppers, because the combination can dangerously lower blood pressure. Read our Safety Information and discuss potential interactions with your provider before starting treatment.
