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 move to make Viagra Connect more widely accessible will marked a significant change to the way health officials monitor online sales of unlicensed and counterfeit erectile dysfunction medicines.
Health officials also hope that the availability of Viagra Connect in pharmacies – subject to decision by the MHRA – from next year will also help to increase awareness of this condition and will also help to reduce profit margins for the public.

Pressout>"Blessed"Male pattern hair loss - hair loss in men is generally considered to be relatively benign. However, the presence of hair may lead to the appearance ofached hair, or baldness, and may affect self-esteem and stimulate the hair to grow back. The most common cause of hair loss is alopecia, which is the loss of hair or hair follicle activity. Although alopecia is the most common form of hair loss, it can also lead to other diseases, including prostate enlargement and difficulty urinating (male ejaculation). If you have male pattern hair loss, it is not unusual for it to recede in a few months or years after a transplant. While it is not a common cause of male pattern baldness, it can be a sign of something more serious. This is why it is important to not to complbands or unsolicited email offers without consulting your doctor.

Viagra, the active ingredient in the two-milligram pills, is being used to treat erectile dysfunction. The US Food and Drug Administration has warned that men who take Viagra for the first time should avoid having sex again. The drug is not approved for use in women. The pill works by helping the penis become erect, but it is also available in a blue pill format, which is different from that of the older drugs. The drug is not available in a black box warning because it can be harmful to the heart and blood vessels. Viagra can also be dangerous if taken on an empty stomach or after a meal. This is because Viagra is not approved for use in women, a warning says.
The drug's label says it can cause heart problems, but it has not been studied in women. It is not known if women should use the drug. According to the drug's manufacturer, Pfizer, it was developed as a way to treat erectile dysfunction in women. In a statement, Pfizer said, "Pfizer's decision to develop Viagra in a female version is not supported by data from large-scale clinical trials."
A study in mice found that the drug has no effect on their ability to produce or store erections in the testes. The drug works by increasing blood flow to the penis. Viagra has not been studied in humans, but the drug has been tested in rats, monkeys and guinea pigs. Pfizer said, "The drug's safety and efficacy have not been established in pregnant women. This trial is not designed to assess the potential side effects of Viagra and is designed to provide women with a more informed understanding of the safety profile of Viagra."
