Résumé

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) are the first-line treatment of erectile dyfunction (ED). Cost of PDE5i is not covered by health insurance company in France. Few studies have examined the potential impact of the introduction of generic products of PDE5i on price non-compliance. The aim of the study was to compare the non-compliance rate because of price among patients treated for DE with generics of PDE5i and those treated with brand-name medications.
