Daily life can sometimes get in the way of your sex life. When it does, Viagra Connect is here to help.

Who it isn’t for: If you are a woman, a man under 18, or do not have EPs, then Viagra Connect isn’t the right treatment for you.
Where you buy it: From our trusted partner ChemistDirect, from other online pharmacies, and from your local pharmacy. No prescription needed.

Viagra online scams, Viagra scams onlineCredit: iStock/Getty Images
A new tactic for online scams is developing, potentially giving the company a better edge against fake Viagra and other fake drugs.
This week, Viagra, the world's biggest drugmaker, made its online Viagra scam online.
The scam is an example of what can be done to get your drug safely, but the risks are still too great to take.
It’s a big deal, because Viagra can have serious side effects. Some people report having symptoms like a sudden, life-threatening headache and a painful and urgent erection.
“Counterfeit Viagra is a serious problem,” says David Graham, a clinical pharmacist in California.
Counterfeit Viagra is a serious problem, but people with the condition know that they're taking Viagra with no other medication.
Graham says that the drugmaker, which has about 40% of the world's supply of counterfeit drugs, is trying to convince patients to take Viagra with other medications to make their drugs more effective.
“We believe that is very important,” Graham says. “You have a problem if it's a drug that you've already had.
“We want to make sure that we're not making a mistake and we're doing something to help the drugmaker.”
Viagra, which is the brand-name drug for Viagra, is only approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, a condition where men cannot get or sustain an erection.
Dr. Andrew Green, an associate professor of urology at Brown University, thinks that the risks are very small, especially if you're taking it for a long time.
“In general, it's not known whether it's safe to take a generic Viagra with other medications,” Green says. “The only safe way to do it is by taking the medication in a licensed pharmacy that you have physical presence in.”
Green says that he thinks it would be best for patients to take Viagra only in certain dosages and not in others. It's not known what happens if they take the medicine with a little bit of food.
“If you take a tablet with a little bit of food, it may help,” he says. “If you take it with something, it may help. It may also be good for your health.”
However, the FDA has not approved Viagra for treating any serious conditions like erectile dysfunction, so there are risks to taking the medicine without proper medical supervision.
The FDA also doesn’t know what happens if you take Viagra with a prescription drug, such as Adderall.
“It's not known how often the drug is taken and if it's taken consistently,” Graham says. “The best way to take it is to make sure you're taking it exactly as directed by your doctor.”
Graham says that he does recommend taking Viagra and taking the medicine every day, even if you can't get it in the first month or two.
“It may not work for everyone,” Graham says. “Sometimes I get headaches from taking a pill. Sometimes I get a headache that lasts for months after taking Viagra.”
Graham says that the FDA doesn’t recommend that patients take Viagra unless they're prescribed it by a doctor.

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed asCialis Together(tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of (sildenafil 50mg) which has been available OTC, without a prescription, since then.
This decision is good news for men’s health …. Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care
Dr Laura Squire, MHRA’s Chief Officer for Healthcare, Quality and Access
Unfortunately, there is a strong black market in the UK for ED medicines, which are often unlicensed or counterfeit. UK Border Force and the MHRA seize millions of pounds of these fake products from criminals annually. This new classification of tadalafil 10mg will enable men who suffer from ED to obtain it safely from a local pharmacy.
Sanofi, the drug manufacturer, is expected to launch Cialis Together later in 2023. Cialis Together will be available to purchase in pharmacies without a prescription by men over 18 with erectile dysfunction. Cialis Together tablets will contain 10mg tadalafil and the maximum pack size will be 8 tablets. Other doses and pack sizes of Cialis and tadalafil will still be available on prescription through doctors and specially trained pharmacists. Before purchase in a pharmacy there must be an assessment with a pharmacist, who will check that Cialis Together is appropriate and safe, or whether consultation with a GP is necessary.
Men suffering with ED will have another treatment option with the convenience of purchasing it in their local pharmacy, including pharmacies found inside supermarkets (eg. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s). The pharmacist will ask some health questions, may check blood pressure, and will advise on treatment with Cialis Together or Viagra Connect, or the need to consult a GP. Pharmacies usually have a private room for such discussions.
Cialis Together is a 10mg tadalafil product for use at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its effects can last. It is not recommended for daily use. The maximum recommended dose of Cialis Together will be one tablet in 24 hours. Prescription Cialis and tadalafil will still be available at different doses.
Dr Fox welcomes the wider access to ED medication for men that Cialis Together classified as a ‘P’ OTC medication will provide. We at Dr Fox are aware of the difficulties men have in discussing ED with their GPs and in accessing ED medication. We know that Cialis is effective and safe for most men and this change provides another option for obtaining ED treatment. Pharmacists are health professionals who are able to give ED advice but they will also know when to refer men who would benefit from a doctor’s assessment. ‘P’ medicines can also be supplied on prescription, and we will offer Cialis Together, when available, alongside our other competitively priced ED products.
