Where Can You Buy Viagra?


Viagra is a medicine which is licensed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in the UK. Under UK law, it is classified as a prescription-only medication which means it is illegal to buy Viagra without a valid prescription. If you have a valid private prescription, you can legally buy Viagra in any high street pharmacy. If you  don’t currently have a private prescription, you will need to visit a doctor either at your local GP or online.

If you visit a GP, you should be aware that many GPs will only prescribe Viagra on the NHS if you have a medical condition which is causing erectile dysfunction. If you ask your GP for a private prescription they may charge you a prescription charge and you will also have to pay the high street retail price which can often be over £10 per tablet. You should be wary of anyone offering to sell Viagra without a medical consultation. Viagra is prescription medication and should only be taken after medical consultation has ruled out the possibility of any interactions and that the medication is suitable for you.
