Whether it’s an occasional issue or a more persistent concern, our confidential consultation process ensures you receive personalised, safe, and effective advice and, if clinically appropriate, erectile dysfunction services tailored to your needs.
Through a secure online consultation with one of our qualified healthcare professionals, we will assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and, if appropriate, issue a prescription. Your health, safety, and comfort are always our top priorities.
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction means having trouble achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for satisfying sexual activity. Around half of men aged 40 to 70 experience some degree of ED.
ED can happen occasionally or persistently, and physical, psychological, or lifestyle factors often play a role.
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction can occur for a wide range of reasons, including:
- Reduced blood flow to the penis
- Stress, anxiety, or relationship issues
- Chronic health conditions (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease)
- Hormonal imbalances
- Side effects of certain medications
- Smoking, alcohol, or recreational drug use
It is important to address any underlying causes and explore suitable treatment in a safe, supportive environment. Our online service makes this process simple and confidential. For more information on erectile dysfunction, see the NHS website.
Can Anyone Take Erectile Dysfunction Treatment?
ED treatment is not suitable for everyone, which is why a full health consultation is essential. During your consultation, a qualified healthcare professional will ask about your symptoms, health history, current medications, and lifestyle factors to determine whether treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Treatment is only offered when it is clinically justified and safe. If a prescription is issued, you’ll receive clear guidance on how to use the medication and what to expect.
If treatment isn’t suitable, we’ll explain why and offer advice or signpost to further support if needed. Your health always comes first.

Possible Side Effects of ED Treatment
As with all prescription medication, ED treatments may cause side effects in some individuals. These can include:
- Headaches
- Flushing
- Indigestion
- Nasal congestion
- Dizziness
Rare side effects may include changes in vision, muscle aches, or prolonged erections. A healthcare professional will explain all potential risks during your consultation, and you should seek medical help if you experience any unexpected side effects.
