1. ED Treatment Drugs

First, let’s talk about ED (erectile dysfunction) treatment drugs. ED is a health issue that many men might face, but there are numerous medications available to help improve this condition. In Japan, you must undergo a doctor’s examination to obtain ED treatment drugs. This ensures safety and allows the doctor to provide the most suitable treatment for each patient. During the consultation, the most appropriate drug is prescribed based on the patient’s health condition and lifestyle.

We are available for online consultation about ED treatment and prescribed medication in Japan. If you would like to know more details, please contact us by clicking the picture below.

Representative ED treatment drugs used in Japan include PDE5 inhibitors such as Viagra (Sildenafil), Levitra (Vardenafil), and Cialis (Tadalafil). These are widely recognized and used around the world. Especially, generic versions of ED treatment drugs have become popular in Japan. They contain the same active ingredients as the original drugs but are more affordable, making treatment more accessible to many. Notably, the original version of Levitra has been discontinued, and now only the generic drugs are available. There are various types of these drugs, including orally disintegrating tablets (OD tablets) and OD films (a type of film that dissolves in the mouth like a wafer paper, releasing the drug), offering more options beyond just standard pills.

Generic drugs are attractive because they offer the same quality and effectiveness as the original drugs while significantly reducing costs. This is a considerable benefit for those needing long-term treatment as it lessens the financial burden. Japanese pharmaceutical companies produce these drugs under strict quality control, offering highly reliable medications recognized worldwide.

ED treatment involves more than just taking medication; reviewing lifestyle habits and receiving psychological support are also important. In Japan, doctors and pharmacists typically provide compassionate care, offering advice tailored to everyone’s needs. This comprehensive approach helps many men regain confidence and lead more fulfilling lives through ED treatment.

2. Products Available Over the Counter (OTC)

In Japan, while ED treatment drugs require a doctor’s prescription, there are also plenty of OTC products for men. These products are a convenient option for those who may not have time to visit a hospital or who may feel uncomfortable doing so.

First, there’s a product called Kinjasei, a pharmaceutical that contains testosterone designed to support men’s vitality and energy. Testosterone is a type of male hormone that plays an important role in maintaining physical strength and libido. Although it is natural for testosterone secretion to decrease with age, Kinjasei can help support hormone balance easily on a regular level.

For those struggling with mid-erection issues, a type of ED, a herbal medicine called Mentaf tablets is recommended. Developed based on Chinese herbal medicine theory, it aims to naturally enhance the body’s energy. It is particularly effective when feeling mentally drained or under pressure, leading to a deflated mental state. Daily stress and mental tension can disrupt the autonomic nervous system, causing symptoms like diminished energy and nervousness. To regain mental strength, it’s crucial to maintain a relaxed state by balancing the autonomic nervous system.

3. Supplements to Enhance Nighttime Activity

In Japan, besides pharmaceuticals, there are also numerous supplements available to enrich your nighttime lifestyle. Among them, Maca, Krachai Dam, and the Sugoju series are especially popular.

Maca is a plant native to the highlands of Peru, South America, and has long been known as the “Andes’ tonic.” Maca is rich in ingredients that help boost energy and libido, supporting male stamina. Regular intake can lead to improved physical and mental strength. Krachai Dam, on the other hand, is a plant that has been widely used in Thailand. It contains many ingredients believed to have potency-enhancing effects, earning it the nickname “black ginger” in its native land. Recently, Krachai Dam has gained attention as a supplement in Japan, providing strong support for those who wish to enjoy more active nightlife.

The Sugoju series is a highly popular line of male enhancement supplements in Japan. It boasts a diverse product lineup, each designed to meet different needs. For example, there are types that boost stamina or enhance concentration, allowing you to choose according to your specific goals.

4. Japanese Condoms

Japanese condoms are highly regarded worldwide for their quality. Especially, Japanese products excel in balancing thinness and strength, offering a comfortable experience. Among them, Okamoto Zero One is a product that enjoys high popularity not only in Japan but also abroad.

Okamoto Zero One achieves an ultra-thin thickness of 0.01mm while maintaining high durability. This thinness provides users with a natural feeling, almost as if nothing is worn, while still ensuring strong durability, making it safe to use.

Additionally, Japanese condom manufacturers conduct rigorous quality control during production, ensuring that all products pass strict inspections. As a result, users can always obtain high-quality, safe products. Besides Okamoto Zero One, Japan offers various types of condoms, each with unique features. The ability to choose according to individual needs is one of the attractions of Japanese condoms.

5. Hair Growth Agents

Hair concerns are a very delicate issue for men. Particularly as they age, more men become concerned about thinning hair and hair loss. In Japan, topical hair growth agents containing Minoxidil are available OTC to support hair growth. This ingredient is widely used to promote hair growth, and its effectiveness is supported by numerous studies.

The RiUP series is especially popular. RiUP was the first hair growth agent in Japan to contain Minoxidil and has since been widely used by many men. RiUP is a topical solution applied directly to the scalp, where it works on hair roots to promote growth. Regular use can help slow down the progression of hair thinning and support hair growth.

The RiUP series also includes related products like shampoos, conditioners, and medicated hair tonics. These products are designed to enhance the effects of the hair growth agent by improving the scalp environment. For example, the shampoos and conditioners help keep the scalp clean and prevent clogged pores, maximizing the effectiveness of RiUP.

The HOGSPA medicated hair tonic cannot be used simultaneously with RiUP, but it is ideal for early intervention against thinning hair and hair loss before the symptoms progress. It is also recommended for those who want to take action but are unsure where to start.

Hair growth agents containing Minoxidil are recommended for at least three months of use to experience their effects. Long-term care is essential, and by using the RiUP series, you can fully support your efforts to combat hair loss.
