Men in the UK will soon be able to buy Viagra over the counter for the first time after the erectile dysfunction drug was reclassified.
Those aged 18 and over will no longer need to see a GP for a prescription after the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced that it is changing the status of Viagra Connect tablets so they can be sold in pharmacies following a conversation with a pharmacist.
US pharmaceutical company Pfizer said it is working on plans to launch the non-prescription version of the medicine in the UK in the spring of 2018. A four-pack of the sildenafil tablets will cost around £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. Sildenafil is already available on NHS prescription free of charge.
The decision to reclassify the drug follows a public consultation, the MHRA said. Pharmacists will be able to determine whether treatment is appropriate for the patient and can give advice on erectile dysfunction, usage of the medicine, potential side effects and assess if further consultation with a general practitioner is required.
“The move to make Viagra Connect more widely accessible will encourage men to seek help within the healthcare system and increase awareness of erectile dysfunction.”
Mick Foy, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency
But some men, including those with severe heart problems, those at high risk of heart problems, liver failure, kidney failure or those taking certain “interacting medicines”, will still need to be prescribed the drug under the supervision of a doctor.
It is hoped that making the drug more widely available will mean than men who may have not previously sought help will be more likely to do so. Health officials also hope the move will also help steer people away from buying drugs websites operating illegally.
The MHRA said that erectile dysfunction medicines are a “popular target” for criminals selling unlicensed and counterfeit medicines, over the past five years the Agency has seized more than £50m of unlicensed and counterfeit erectile dysfunction medicines.
“This decision is good news for men’s health,” said Mick Foy, MHRA’s group manager in vigilance and risk management of medicines. “The move to make Viagra Connect more widely accessible will encourage men to seek help within the healthcare system and increase awareness of erectile dysfunction.
“Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care, and do not feel they need to turn to counterfeit online supplies which could have potentially serious side effects.”
Dr Berkeley Phillips, UK medical director at Pfizer, said: “The availability of Viagra Connect in pharmacies from next year will offer men who are eligible for the product a new and convenient way to access sildenafil, a commonly prescribed treatment for erectile dysfunction.
“We understand some men may avoid seeking support and treatment for this condition, so we believe giving them the option to talk to a pharmacist and buy Viagra Connect could be a real step forward in encouraging more men into the healthcare system.
“As erectile dysfunction may be a sign of an underlying condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, there could also be a wider benefit to public health in the long term. We hope that this forthcoming new opportunity to purchase a genuine treatment via pharmacy will also reduce the likelihood of men turning to potentially ineffective and dangerous counterfeits from illicit sources.”
The decision to reclassify the drug is the largest overall “populous,” with Viagra Connect (MSM: PDE5B) just over half (23 per cent) selling it on the street, alongside erectile dysfunction medicines such as diabetes and high blood pressure. On the public platform, Ciara (MSM: Sildenafil) is the other (small but further up the street) was also sold.In a market that is expected to be dominated by fakes and also seen as "rockbottom',upuncture and acupressure may be more appealing,” said Mick Foy, MHRA group manager in vigilance and risk management.
A new trial, sponsored by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), has found that a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction may have the potential to make you more likely to have unprotected sex, a study shows.
The findings, which were published today in the Australian Medical Journal, are likely to be published in a journal of the TGA in March.
In the United States, the TGA’s Health and Safety Advisory Committee recommended that Pfizer make the drugs safer than Viagra for treating erectile dysfunction (ED).
The FDA’s committee recommended that the drugs are safe for use during sex, with a low risk for sexual dysfunction when taken by people with ED. The drug is also a ‘preferred alternative’ to Viagra, with no restrictions on sexual activity.
“Pfizer’s new trial shows that Viagra may have the potential to improve the ability to have sex and increase a man’s likelihood of having unprotected sex,” said the TGA’s Dr David Hough, of the Royal Sydney and London College of GPs.
The drug was originally developed for treating erectile dysfunction, but was later approved to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland is enlarged, and also the type of ED that affects men over 40. In 1998, Pfizer acquired the drug rights from TGA in Australia and brought it to market to treat ED.
The trial was part of a larger study that involved participants aged 18 and over. The researchers examined the effect of the drugs on the ability of men to have sex. The researchers found that the drugs increased the ability to have sex by a small margin, but didn’t alter the men’s ability to have sex.
The trial is the first to link the drugs to sexual dysfunction. A trial in 2016 found that men who took the drugs reported having more sexual activity than those taking the placebo, a drug that doesn’t have a known side effect on the penis.
The researchers were able to show that the drugs lowered the risk of having sex for those who took them, even if they did not have ED. This was the first time a drug was shown to have the potential to improve a man’s sexual performance.
The drugs were also showing their ability to help with ED, with some people experiencing more sexual satisfaction than others. The drugs were also showing a reduction in the risk of ejaculation, which was not seen with Viagra. However, the researchers found no evidence that these side effects caused the sexual dysfunction.
“These findings are a result of our findings on safety and effectiveness, and our continued collaboration with the TGA to protect men’s health from the potential side effects of erectile dysfunction drugs,” said Dr Hough.
“The TGA continues to be committed to the safety and efficacy of these medicines and to continue to work with the Australian health care system to protect men’s health.”
The Australian Medical Journal has, a peer-reviewed journal of the Medical Association of Australia, covering the conduct of trials and safety issues affecting people with ED.
This publication is based in part on interviews with men who have taken a particular type of ED drug. The information is limited to a summary, and the authors’ conclusions are not supported by the available data. The researchers’ findings are subject to change.
A clinical trial in which the researchers compared the effects of two drugs, sildenafil and tadalafil, found no significant differences in sexual activity between the two groups. The drug was compared to placebo, which was taken as a single dose, or to the drug for which no dose was shown to be ineffective. The two drugs were shown to have similar effects on blood pressure and sexual desire. In a separate study, researchers compared the effects of two drugs, sildenafil and tadalafil, found no significant differences in sexual activity between the two groups. In this study, the researchers found no evidence that sildenafil or tadalafil caused the sexual dysfunction.The research was published online in the.
The researchers, Dr Hough, said the drug studies were conducted “within the realm of human medical research, and, to the best of our knowledge, have not previously been published.”
The medications were designed to treat sexual dysfunction in people with ED.

B: I have been on this for more than a year, and I have always tried to find a solution. Now it seems like the best thing that has happened to me is that I was taking some Viagra for the first time. I was diagnosed with a sudden, severe headache and the pain and weakness, and I could not sleep. I took a blood test to check my body temperature. I was a candidate for the drug because my blood test was negative, but the test came back positive. I had the pain and weakness again. I was prescribed 100 mg of Viagra. It was the first time I had used this medication for more than a year.
I was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction. I took 25 mg of Viagra. I started to have erections. I felt dizzy and light-headed. The muscles around my throat started to loosen up. I went to the doctor and told him, I am not going to drink alcohol.
He prescribed 100 mg of Viagra. I went to the doctor and said I am not taking any more of this medication, and I told him I would see if it is safe. I was able to get a lot of relief. I am still able to get an erection during sex and not to have to worry about what was going on.
I have taken 100 mg of Viagra once a day. I have to take it about 3-4 times a day. I am now taking it twice a day. I am still able to get an erection and not to have to worry about what was going on.
I am having problems with my sexual desire, I do not have to worry about what was going on. I am very happy about this. I am now taking 100 mg of Viagra for the first time.
I went to the doctor and said I am not going to drink alcohol.
