Advice for Erectile Dysfunction Injectables
ED injectable treatments work by increasing blood flow to the penis to support an erection. They have been used clinically for decades and represent a well-established second-line option within erectile dysfunction management. Treatment is typically considered where first-line oral therapies have not achieved the desired outcome or are contraindicated. Continuation supply requires that treatment was originally initiated and dosed by a specialist, with ongoing prescribing supported in primary care where appropriate.
