Patients receiving a PDE5 inhibitor must have regular follow-up of efficacy, side effects, and any relevant change in their health status (especially cardiovascular health) including medications.  

Failure to respond to PDE5 inhibitors may be due to:

• Hormonal abnormalities
• Drug interactions
• Food interference with absorption
• Timing and frequency of dosing
• Lack of adequate sexual stimulation
• Heavy alcohol use
• Patient’s relationship with his partner

A patient who fails the initial trial of PDE5 inhibitors (after above factors are modified) may be given a different PDE5 inhibitor or proceed with other more invasive therapies for erectile dysfunction.
