The medicines do not have any adverse impact on the sexual life of the patient. Since medicines interact with ED drugs, the patient has to maintain a gap of 24 hours between medication and ED drugs.

It also includes home calls, home visit and visit of the patient to the medical centre. The second stage is the diagnosis stage and then the treatment stage.
