Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most common male sexual dysfunction, affecting millions worldwide. It is defined as the persistent inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. This condition has significant physical, emotional and psychosocial implications, affecting the well-being of both the affected individuals and their sexual partners.

Pharmacists play a critical role in the management of ED by providing ongoing support and expert advice to patients, promoting health education and addressing the social and psychological barriers associated with treatment. Their expertise in medicines and counselling enables them to identify risk factors, advise on treatment options, and promote adherence to treatment plans, all within a people-centred approach.
