Yes. Telemedicine is safe and effective—as long as patients answer questions truthfully, accurately, and completely. It’s also important that you only upload pictures of yourself and your ID (not someone else). Doctors are only effective when they have accurate, current information about your case—both in telemedicine and in-person visits.   Physicians on The O Doc platform depend solely on the information you provide during your visit and via secure chat, phone, or video. They have no way of externally verifying the information you provide.

Question 24

How does sexual dysfunction work on The O Doc platform?

Accepted Answer

The O Doc uses telemedicine technology to provide a discreet, convenient, and affordable way for you to receive sexual dysfunction treatment from a U.S. Licensed physician. All without leaving your home. Complete the dynamic onboarding, submit your photo ID, and our physicians will determine if you’re a candidate for telemedicine.   Sexual dysfunction is often a symptom of a more serious underlying condition—like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or even depression. That’s why we strongly recommend optional laboratory tests.   These tests aren’t required to receive treatment on The O Doc platform. But they help identify the underlying cause of your sexual dysfunction. We want you to get the most comprehensive treatment possible.    Believe it or not, sexuality is a great barometer of your overall health.

Question 25

Which medications do doctors on The O Doc platform perscribe for sexual dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

The American Urological Association claims that oral PDE-5 inhibitors should be offered as the “first line of therapy for sexual dysfunction.” So that’s what we do.   Physicians on The O Doc platform prescribe the most common PDE-5 oral medications which include: Sildenafil (Viagra) Tadalafil (Cialis) In the form of a troche.

Question 26

Is sexual dysfunction medication effective?

Accepted Answer

Viagra’s FDA approved prescribing information claims that “82% of patients reported an improvement in their erections.” Other PDE-5 inhibitors (Cialis, Levitra) showed similar results.   Oral ED medication is generally considered extremely effective and studies show it works on the majority of men and women. But ED medication doesn’t work for everyone. It’s important to note that everyone’s reaction to a medication is unique.   Your The O Doc physician may recommend trying the medication multiple times under different circumstances. They may also increase your dose, depending on your reaction to the medication and any side effects. If you’ve been prescribed ED medication on The O Doc platform, please contact info@theodoc.com if you have any questions.

Question 27

Can a doctor diagnose sexual dysfunction remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. Sexual dysfunction can be diagnosed by a physician based on a patient self-reporting their symptoms and medical history.   Physicians on The O Doc platform use telemedicine technologies to diagnose sexual dysfunction in the same way they diagnose patients in-person. Doctors ask you questions to evaluate your symptoms and make sure it’s safe and appropriate to prescribe medication.   The physicians on The O Doc platform use your answers to diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan. That’s why it’s vital you answer each question to the best of your knowledge and ensure that every communication with your physician is truthful, accurate, and thorough.

Question 28

How does my order ship?

Accepted Answer

Orders ship in discreet packs, with all medication in single use blister packs. These single use blister packs are not child proof.    Orders are shipped via USPS standard mail.
