All participants (n = 500) above 18 years who sought oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors from community pharmacies were included in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to a 100 community pharmacies and a computer program was used for data analysis. Of the 500 distributed questionnaires, 337 were received (response rate 67.4%), it was found that 270 (80%) of the respondents had been taking anti-erectile dysfunction drugs without consultation with their doctors and 67 (20%) of respondents had been using their drugs after consultation. The majority of the respondents, 188 (55.7%) had been using phosphodiesterase Type 5 without any medical evidence of Erectile Dysfunction as indicated by themselves, which is statistically significant (p ? 0.005). It was found that 115 (34.1%) of the respondents were not aware of the side effects. The correlation between satisfaction of sexual performance before and after using is (rho. = 0.516) and is highly significant (p < 0.001).
