Viagra Connect 50mg (2 Tablets) - No Prescription Needed
Just a few questions from our Pharmacist before you checkout to make sure this medicine is safe for you.
What is Viagra Connect?
Viagra Connect is an aid to treat erectile dysfunction. It is the first treatment for erectile dysfunction that does not require a prescription and can be purchased over-the-counter.
What is the difference between Viagra and Viagra Connect?
Both Viagra Connect and the more familiar medicine Viagra work in the same way and contain the same active ingredient; sildenafil citrate.
Just like Viagra, this medication is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult men. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, enabling more blood to flow into the penis, making it easier to get an erection.
Please note, this treatment only works if you are sexually aroused. It does not cause an erection without stimulation.
Is Viagra Connect right for me?
This treatment may be right for you as long as you are not taking any medicines that may interact with Viagra, or suffer from any health conditions that may affect its suitability.
Talk to your doctor about alternative treatments and do not take this medicine if any of the following applies to you:
- If you are allergic or sensitive to sildenafil or any of the other ingredients listed on the pack.
- If you are taking any medicines known as nitrates (including “poppers”).
- If you are currently taking any medicine (guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat) to treat high blood pressure in the lungs.
- If you are currently taking ritonavir (to treat HIV).
- If you have ever had a loss of vision due to optic nerve damage or inherited eye disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa.
- If you have low blood pressure.
- If you have problems with your liver, heart or blood vessels.
- If you have a deformity of your penis, such as Peyronie’s Disease.
This medicine is also not suitable if you are younger than 18. You should only use this treatment if you suffer from erection problems.
