These drugs don't work for everyone and they only tend to help if diminished blood flow to the penis is the cause of the erection not being sustained.  I would have him worked up by a urologist who specializes in ED - erectile dysfunction to see what might be some of the causes of his situation.  Once they know the cause they can decide on an appropriate treatment.

Linda - In addition to the suggestions that healthgal offered, please be sure that your husband is following the instructions for administration of the medication. Sometimes the timing of and amount of food eaten before or after the medication is taken, alcohol consumption, and/or length of time since having taken the medication can affect how it works. The other issue to consider is whether the two of you are experiencing any type of marital difficulties that may be affecting how he is feeling sexually. If so, getting some counseling can be useful.
