Washington, DC requires one live video visit to establish care; everything after that is online. Plans are from $27 a month on a 3-month supply ($57 for six tablets monthly), charged once a clinician prescribes and renewing on the same schedule until you cancel, and ship free and discreet from a US-licensed pharmacy to Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights, and everywhere else in Washington, DC.

Is online treatment available in Washington, DC?

What Pallas prescribes

Sildenafil and tadalafil are PDE5 inhibitors, the class of medicine most often prescribed to help men get and keep an erection. They work by relaxing smooth muscle and increasing blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation — they don't cause an erection on their own, and they don't affect desire.

Pallas offers prescription sildenafil and tadalafil tablets — taken as needed, or tadalafil as a low dose every day — and a compounded tablet with both, filled by US-licensed pharmacies as a monthly or 3-month supply. Which medication, regimen and strength, if any, is a clinical decision made from your history.

Each medication, safety, and the full FAQ are on the sexual health program page.

How long each molecule stays in the body

Elimination half-life — a property of the molecule, not a promise about any preparation. Which form and dose is right for you is your clinician’s call.

Sildenafil: about 4 hours; Tadalafil: about 17.5 hours.

Generic

Compounded

Before a clinician prescribes

Nitrates and riociguat are contraindicated with every PDE5 inhibitor: together they can drop blood pressure dangerously. Alpha-blockers and blood-pressure medicines add to that effect, and chest pain with exertion, fainting or a recent heart event calls for an in-person evaluation. The intake asks about each.

An erection lasting more than four hours is a medical emergency (priapism): seek care immediately. Trouble getting or keeping an erection can also be an early sign of heart disease, diabetes or low testosterone, so keep your primary care provider informed. The intake asks you to acknowledge this before you finish.

How it works in Washington, DC

  1. Complete the online intake

    About five minutes — the five-question erectile function index clinicians use (the IIEF-5), your heart and blood-pressure history, and every medication you take. Nothing is charged at checkout.

  2. One live video visit, as Washington, DC requires

    You book it after the intake. The clinician decides which form and dose, if any, is appropriate, and everything after that first visit is by secure message.

  3. If prescribed, it ships

    You're charged only once a clinician prescribes, and a US-licensed pharmacy ships your first fill free and discreet to your Washington, DC address (2–3 business days); it renews on the schedule of the supply you choose, monthly or every 3 months (the daily tablet also every 6 months), until you cancel. Not prescribed? Nothing is charged.

Yes. Sildenafil and tadalafil are prescription medicines, and Washington, DC allows a clinician licensed by the District of Columbia Board of Medicine to prescribe them through telehealth when it's clinically appropriate for you — after the one live video visit Washington, DC requires. What isn't legal, in Washington, DC or anywhere in the US, is buying them without a prescription: a site that sells "sildenafil" with no clinician and no licensed pharmacy is selling unapproved, unverified product, whatever the checkout page looks like.

Several telehealth services prescribe sildenafil and tadalafil online to Washington, DC residents, and not every one serves every state. Before choosing, verify that its clinicians are licensed in Washington, DC, that prescriptions are filled by US-licensed pharmacies, and that it holds LegitScript Healthcare Merchant Certification — you can check any platform in LegitScript's public database. Pallas serves Washington, DC and all 50 states.

Men taking nitrates in any form — nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate or dinitrate — or riociguat: that combination is a contraindication on every PDE5 inhibitor's label because it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Beyond it, a clinician weighs alpha-blockers and blood-pressure medicines, recent heart events or chest pain with exertion, severe liver or kidney disease, retinitis pigmentosa or a prior episode of sudden vision loss, sickle cell disease, bleeding disorders, and conditions like Peyronie's disease. Those are screening questions, not automatic answers — the clinician decides, and if treatment isn't right for you, you're told plainly and nothing is charged.

Sildenafil and tadalafil tablets are filled by US-licensed pharmacies; which preparation your pharmacy dispenses is decided per prescription. The tadalafil + sildenafil combination tablet is compounded per-patient by a state-licensed pharmacy, and compounded preparations are not FDA-approved. That is why every prescription starts with a US-licensed clinician who reviews your health history and prescribes only when clinically appropriate.

Once a clinician prescribes, a US-licensed partner pharmacy fills your prescription and ships it free and discreet, with tracking, to Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights, and everywhere else in Washington, DC — typically within 2–3 business days.
