Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the introduction of telephone follow-up reviews for prescriptions of oral erectogenic agents. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 124 men of 166 invited patients who had participated in telephone consultations during the first 12 months of operation. RESULTS: 91.9% of respondents found the telephone clinic more convenient than traditional attendance particularly because the former requires no travel and waiting time to be seen by a consultant. CONCLUSION: Men with erectile dysfunction can be followed up by telephone in the majority of cases where an oral erectogenic agent has been prescribed.
