Support you can talk about
Erectile dysfunction means difficulty getting or keeping an erection. It is common, and you can ask our pharmacy team about it in confidence.
We offer a discreet conversation about your symptoms and the options that may be suitable for you. Ask to speak in our private consultation area.
What happens in a consultation?
- We discuss your symptoms, how long they have been happening and your general health.
- We review the medicines and supplements you use, along with relevant medical conditions.
- We explain suitable next steps, any costs and whether you should see your GP or a sexual health clinic.
Options depend on your health and current medicines. A consultation does not guarantee treatment.
When to speak to your GP
If erection problems keep happening, arrange a GP or sexual health clinic appointment. They can sometimes be linked to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, as well as stress, anxiety or some medicines.

Your questions
Can I speak to someone privately?
Yes. Ask our team for a conversation in the private consultation area.
Will I always be offered a medicine?
No. The assessment determines what is appropriate. You may be advised to see your GP or another healthcare professional.
What can cause erection difficulties?
Tiredness, stress and alcohol can cause occasional difficulties. Persistent problems can also have physical or psychological causes, including some medicines.
When should I see my GP?
Arrange a GP or sexual health clinic appointment if the problem keeps happening. A check can identify conditions that need treatment.
Can lifestyle changes help?
Regular exercise, stopping smoking, reducing excess alcohol and managing stress may help. Support with weight and a balanced diet can also be useful.
Can I use treatment with my usual medicines?
A medicines check is essential. Some erection medicines interact dangerously with nitrates used for angina. Tell us about all medicines, supplements and recreational drugs before considering treatment.
How quickly will treatment work?
Timing depends on the option selected and your circumstances. Follow the instructions you are given; do not take extra doses or combine erection medicines without clinical advice.
Is this a private service?
Yes. We will explain the consultation arrangements, suitability and any charges before you proceed. Please call for current prices.
