Erectile Dysfunction Consultation

Confidential Support for Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects many men at different stages of life. It may involve difficulty getting or maintaining an erection suitable for sexual activity. While ED becomes more common with age, it can also be associated with lifestyle factors, stress, anxiety, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, or cardiovascular health concerns.

During a private consultation, an accredited pharmacist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and perform a brief health assessment, including a blood pressure check if required. For eligible men, sildenafil may be supplied without a prescription following assessment.

Professional Assessment & Treatment Options

ED can affect confidence, relationships, and quality of life, but effective treatment options are available. Seeking advice can also help identify underlying health conditions that may require further attention.

• Confidential consultation with an accredited pharmacist

• Assessment of suitability for sildenafil treatment

• Blood pressure and health screening

• Convenient access without a GP appointment

• Advice on lifestyle factors that may contribute to ED

• Referral to a doctor when further assessment is needed
