Pfizer sales of viagra

Men in the UK will be able to buy Viagra over the counter after consulting with a pharmacist and without a prescription for the first time today.

ViagraConnect manufacturer, Pfizer, estimates more than a fifth of men aged over 18 in Britain suffer from erectile dysfunction, but almost half of those over 40 have not sought medical help.

Where will Viagra be on sale?

The erectile dysfunction drug will be available in 14,000 stores across Britain and via pharmacy websites.

The tablets will be available exclusively from Boots until 10 April.

Who can buy Viagra over the counter?

Those aged 18 and over will be able to buy the tablets following a conversation with a pharmacist or after filling out an online form. Men can ask to speak to a pharmacist in a private consultation room if preferred.

The pharmacists will determine whether treatment is appropriate for the patient and give advice on erectile dysfunction, usage of the medicine and potential side effects. They will advise men to consult with their doctor no less than six months after buying Viagra so that any potential underlying conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease can be investigated.

A Boots spokesperson said that the man affected by erectile dysfunction should buy the drug themselves wherever practically possible.

Who will still need a prescription?

Men with severe heart problems, those at high risk of heart problems, liver failure, kidney failure, strokes or those taking certain other medicines, will still need to be prescribed the drug under the supervision of a doctor.

How much will Viagra cost?

A four-pack of the tablets will cost £19.99 and an eight-pack £34.99.

Men who buy it will be advised that they can take a 50 mg tablet an hour before having sex, but should not use more than one pill a day.

Viagra is is already available as an NHS prescription free of charge for those eligible not to pay for their prescriptions.

Is there a limit to how many tablets can be bought?

The pharmacist will decide how many packs will be supplied in a transaction.

Why has Viagra been made available over the counter?

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced in November it was to steer men away from buying the tablets from. In 2016 £17m worth of unlicensed and counterfeit Viagra was seized.

Kristie Sourial, Pfizer’s medical manager, said: “It’s important to remember that erectile dysfunction is a medical condition, and that the impact often goes beyond the physical symptoms – it can lead to men feeling anxious, depressed and lacking in confidence.

“Our hope is that the availability of Viagra Connect in pharmacies will encourage men who do nothing about their erectile dysfunction to seek help, and encourage those who are inclined to seek help to do so sooner.”

Sildenafil, commonly known by the brand name, is a prescription medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It contains the active ingredient Viagra, which works by blocking the production of certain brain chemicals that cause erection problems. Men who take Sildenafil experience improved erectile function and reduced anxiety related to sexual performance.

How Does Sildenafil Work?

Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. This increases the ability to get and maintain an erection.

This increase in cGMP can lead to improved erectile function and reduced anxiety related to sexual performance.
