ED therapies can only be prescribed by GPs at NHS expense for
men with one or more of the conditions listed below. Although there
is no restriction on the number of treatment doses that can be
prescribed each month for eligible men, GPs have been advised to
prescribe four doses a month for most men. Other men will be
offered private prescriptions and will have to pay for the full
cost of therapies, whether they are prescribed by NHS GPs or by
private practitioners.
