Online shopping in a very modern phenomenon: there is no need to trawl around shops on the off chance of finding something you will like or, if you have a particular product in mind, finding that it is not stocked or out of stock.

In the last five years Internet shopping has taken off, after an initial scepticism from customers who were not happy about making payments online. As our free time has more demands made upon it, it is hardly surprising that we want to shop in a more convenient and time effective way. Shopping online avoids the crowds of the high street and new systems have been put in place to make giving your card details far more secure than only a few years ago.

So this is all great news if you want to buy a CD, a new pair of shoes or a television set. Should we as consumers, however, be buying Erectile Dysfunction medication from online sources rather than the more traditional method of having a face to face consultation with a GP?

A survey just completed in the United States says that, for American men at least, the answer is a resounding yes. Indeed the survey that is published in the August edition of Mayo Clinic Proceedings found that the consultation to buy Erectile Dysfunction medication on line was actually more thorough than the face to face consultation with a physician.

In the United States online prescribing is also known as e-medicine prescribing. By interviewing 1000 men, 500 of whom had a face to face consultation with their own physician and half of whom had an online consultation, it was found that e-prescribing "outperformed the traditional system in most of the safety variables tested." The authors of the survey noted that 100 percent of the e-medicine clients received follow up information while only 51.8 percent of those who saw a physician were supplied with all the relevant information.

An Erectile Dysfunction consultation at The Online Clinic takes a matter of minutes. It is, however, comprehensive, extremely thorough and specifically gauged towards the patient’s history and suitability for this specific condition. No medication is prescribed without the doctor being certain that it is the best form of treatment for a patient. The patient is also provided with further information on erectile dysfunction with his first order. We also recommend that every new patient allows us to write to his GP so that they can be kept abreast of all medications prescribed to that particular patient.
