Drug treatments for erectile dysfunction may only be prescribed in NHS Wales under certain circumstances. Welsh Health Circular (WHC) (99) 148, published in 1999, provided guidance for NHS Wales on the identification and management within specialist services of men diagnosed as suffering severe distress resulting from erectile dysfunction. WHC (99) 148 has been reviewed and the following document provides updated recommendations regarding the prescribing of treatments for erectile dysfunction. This guidance supersedes Welsh Health Circular WHC (99) 148.
