How the IllinoisDoc visit works

The IllinoisDoc visit starts with a structured intake covering symptoms, medications, allergies, and prior treatment response. An Illinois-licensed physician (IL) reviews whether erectile dysfunction treatment is appropriate, whether labs are required, and whether another approach is safer. If a prescription is indicated, it is sent to a pharmacy the patient can use in Illinois. That prescription is not a referral to an Indiana or Wisconsin clinic across the state line.

Follow-up is scheduled when treatment starts. Chronic therapies are commonly rechecked at about four weeks, then every one to three months, or sooner if side effects appear.
