Committee Recommendations (1)

05 Sep 18 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

Vacuum pumps are now approved for prescribing in primary care. They are most useful in patients with nerve damage, whether by surgery or for medical reasons.


The brand has not been specified but must be selected from the options available in the drug tariff and the prescriber must be able to provide appropriate training.

Training is available from some of the agents marketing these products but GPs must have patient consent before transferring any details.

This can be initiated in primary care and is considered GREEN on the traffic light system

Combination treatments (oral & non oral)
These treatments should not be used in combination with other treatments for erectile dysfunction due to the limited evidence available to support their use. See here for further information: https://surreyccg.res-systems.net/pad/Search/DrugConditionProfile/6169
