How Hard Mints work

How Hard Mints work

Inhibits PDE5

Tadalafil and vardenafil are oral ED medications that work by suppressing an enzyme in the body called PDE5.

Increases blood flow

When PDE5 is suppressed, blood is able to flow more freely through the body—including to the (you guessed it) penis.

Gets you hard

More blood flow to the penis means harder, more satisfying erections once you’re sexually stimulated.

What is a Hard Mint?

Hard Mints by Hims are chewable, mint-flavored tablets containing one or more active ingredients to treat ED. Hard Mints are made to fit your needs based on an evaluation of your information by a licensed medical provider using doctor-trusted ingredients in licensed pharmacies.

How to take Hard Mints

Bite into and chew the mint until you can comfortably swallow it. Do not swallow it whole like a pill or suck on it like a cough drop.

Daily

Take daily tadalafil Hard Mints once per day. The active ingredient tadalafil builds up in your system over time so you can always be sex-ready.

As-needed

Plan to take as-needed Hard Mints at least 30 minutes before sexual activity to be ready when it’s time. The active ingredient, tadalafil, can stay in your system for up to 36 hours, so there’s no need to rush.

Potential tadalafil and vardenafil side effects

Side effects for the active ingredient in this medication can include headaches, flushing, upset stomach, abnormal vision, runny or stuffy nose, back and muscle pain, nausea, dizziness, rash, nausea, chest or arm pain, and, in rare cases, changes in vision or loss of sight. Do not drink alcohol to excess (e.g. 5 drinks) while taking this medication.

Frequently asked questions about Hard Mints

What is the main cause of erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by psychological factors, medical conditions, and certain medications. In younger men with variable or situational ED, sexual performance anxiety or low self-esteem can lead to stress and anxiety that restricts blood flow to the penis at exactly the wrong moment. In men with ED that doesn’t vary with different partners or different situations, underlying problems with nerves, blood vessels, or hormone production may be present.

Through our platform, providers can help identify the cause of and best treatment for your erectile dysfunction. In addition, they can recommend testing and physical examinations to make sure that you don’t have undiagnosed underlying health problems and risk factors (for example, cardiovascular disease or heart disease, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, or even obesity).

How can prescription ED medications improve my sex life?

Erectile dysfunction often occurs when something in the body, brain, or environment interferes with blood flow. Most types of ED respond well to medication as it can help open and dilate blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely and create a firm, long-lasting erection.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

The best way to know which treatment is right for you is to identify your symptoms and share them with a licensed medical professional. Kickstart your exploration with a free Hims health evaluation.

What is a Hard Mint or chewable ED medication?

Hard Mints are chewable ED medications that can include the same active ingredients that are found in Cialis®, Staxyn®, and Levitra® at different dosages.

What is compounding?

Compounding is the process of personalizing the active ingredients, dosages, and form of a medication to best suit a person’s unique needs.

Personalized, compounded medications are prescribed by licensed medical providers and made in licensed pharmacies.

Can I take one medicine that contains tadalafil and vardenafil together?

Yes, and the answer lies in compounding. This is a process wherein pharmacists create personalized medications for patients by combining a customized mix of active ingredients, like those in Cialis®, Levitra® and Staxyn® at individualized doses.
