Will my clinician decide which medication I get or can I request one?

Both. You can request a preferred ED medication during your MedExpress consultation, and your clinician will make a recommendation based on your health history, treatment needs, and preferences.

A MedExpress clinician will always make the final prescribing decision. This is because ED medications may not be suitable for everyone, and the clinician must check that the medication is safe and clinically appropriate for you.


Can I request a specific ED medication?

Yes. If you have a preference, you can tell MedExpress during your online consultation.

For example, you may prefer:

  • A longer-acting ED medication for more flexibility

  • An on-demand ED medication that you only take before sexual activity

  • A daily ED medication that fits better into your routine

  • A tablet format you have used before

  • A different option if a previous ED medication did not work well for you

Your clinician will take your preference into account when reviewing your consultation.


Will my preference always be approved?

Not always. Your MedExpress clinician will consider your preference, but the clinician can only prescribe an ED medication if the medication is clinically appropriate for you.

The clinician may consider:

  • Your health history

  • Any existing medical conditions

  • Any medications you currently take

  • Your previous experience with ED treatment

  • Possible side effects or medication interactions

  • Your lifestyle and treatment preferences

If your requested ED medication is not suitable, your clinician may recommend a different ED medication or dosing option.
