GoodRx Launches New Erectile Dysfunction Subscription Service to Simplify Access and Eliminate Treatment Barriers

The all-in-one solution includes virtual consultation, FDA-approved prescription medication, and discreet home delivery, with no hidden fees, in-person visits, or memberships required

GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading platform for medication savings in the U.S., today announced the launch of a new subscription service for erectile dysfunction (ED). Designed to meet consumers where they are and remove common barriers such as high costs, long wait times, and inconvenience, this all-in-one solution offers a fast, discreet, and affordable option for ED treatment.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250610400981/en/

A new report from GoodRx reveals a clear gap in care: nearly 1 in 3 U.S. men report difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection without medication, yet fewer than 14% say they’re using any form of treatment. This reluctance is driven by inadequate coverage of ED treatments by many insurance plans, as well as concerns around the social stigma associated with seeking help for such conditions. While many existing options require an additional paid membership just to access a subscription service, come with exorbitant fees, or have inconsistent shipping speeds that can lead to delays, GoodRx’s new ED subscription service offers a transparent alternative to help more men access needed treatments – quickly, discreetly, and on their terms.

The GoodRx subscription service for ED starts as low as just $18/month, with final pricing dependent on the prescribed medication. The subscription combines three key benefits:

  • Connect with a licensed healthcare professional: Customers can chat directly with a healthcare professional online, often within the hour – no in-person visit required. Additionally, customers will have ongoing access to these licensed professionals if questions arise during their treatment.
  • Access FDA-approved treatments: If clinically appropriate, customers receive a prescription for an FDA-approved medication.
  • Discreet delivery: Medication is delivered directly to the customer’s door for no additional fee, in GoodRx’s standard packaging.

"We recognize that many men delay or entirely avoid treatment for ED due to stigma, costs, and the inconvenience of traditional healthcare pathways," said Katelyn Pelak, VP and Head of Product at GoodRx. "Our new subscription service removes these obstacles, providing a straightforward, affordable solution that respects and protects the privacy and time of our customers."

GoodRx’s subscription service for ED ensures a simple, user-friendly experience that meets the modern consumer's needs for transparency and streamlined healthcare access. By integrating quick digital consults with licensed healthcare professionals, transparent pricing, and home delivery into one seamless experience, GoodRx is proud to provide a stigma-free, convenient approach to ED care.

Starting today, individuals can sign up for the GoodRx ED subscription service at: www.goodrx.com/care/services/erectile-dysfunction
