Military Prescriptions for ED Surge | US News

Active-duty U.S. troops hit a new record in 2025 with 108,332 erectile dysfunction prescriptions—just barely topping last year’s total—marking a 16.5% jump since 2021. The trend spans the entire military family, including retirees and dependents, with over 639,000 prescriptions filled nationwide. Almost all prescriptions are for generics: 97.8% of the time, with sildenafil leading at over 85,000 for active-duty troops and tadalafil (generic Cialis) rising to 22,000. Injectable Edex saw nearly 200 prescriptions, and women also receive sildenafil for other health issues. Retirees filled the most prescriptions overall, and while the Pentagon hasn’t tied this to readiness programs, the data confirms widespread use across the military community.
