Brand Viagra is not available on NHS repeat prescription,
but Sildenafil is available on the NHS in certain circumstances.
However, brand Viagra is available online through private prescription or on consultation with an online doctor service such as
PharmaDoctor.
As Viagra is now easily available, having a prescription is
mandatory. You need to see your GP to get a health check-up done before going ahead
with the Viagra to make sure that your impotence problem is not caused by any
underlying medical problem.
NHS Prescriptions and
Private Prescriptions
There are two types of prescriptions, through which you can
get Viagra – an NHS prescription and a private prescription.
To get an NHS prescription, you must see a GMC registered GP
so that they can evaluate whether or not it is suitable and assess whether or
not you are eligible for a Viagra prescription on the NHS. You will be able to
get the repeat prescription online on the NHS, if you fall under any of these
categories:
- If you suffer from Erectile Dysfunction (ED) associated with certain conditions such as diabetes, prostate cancer, or Parkinson’s disease
- If your ED is due to long-term depression and extreme stress
- If you have been prescribed ED medicine on the NHS before 14th September 1998
If you do not fall under these categories, you will then
have to see a local GP for a private prescription. Remember that the NHS does
not provide fund for a private prescription. Hence, you will have to pay the
full amount for the medicine and charges of the pharmacy that supplies it.
Any GP can prescribe a private prescription for Viagra.
However, a GP can only offer you a private prescription if the medicine is not
available to you through the NHS.
Pharmacy Outlet is an online pharmacy that supplies Viagra
on providing a private prescription. It offers free delivery to UK citizens on
order above £40.
