Viagra over the counter – is it really possible?

Ever country has its own medical authorities that conclude agreements with each pharmaceutical company to make its products available either through a program of insurance coverage or without, as well as either with a prescription or over the counter. This does not necessarily have anything to do with the benefits and risks of a drug, but rather with the country’s medical care policy. For example, it is widely known that many medications that require a prescription in the U.S. or some European countries are available to everyone in most other countries of the world (such as antibiotics, birth control pills, etc.).

The decision not to make a certain drug available over the counter can also be based on the authorities’ opinion that people in the country are not well-informed about their health, will not read the information leaflet, abuse the medication, take it for recreational purposes, and so on (this is the underlying assumption of the recent discussion in the UK about making Viagra available over the counter). However, the discussion of making certain ED drugs available over the counter concerns only – let us stress that – only the products manufactured by the pharma company that had developed the original version of the active ingredient. It says nothing about the potent and efficient generic versions of a drug.

As many of you will know, a drug manufacturer obtains an exclusive license for its drugs individually in each country and for a certain number of year. Once the license runs out, the remedy – Viagra, for example – can be sold in the country by a number of other manufacturers. Very often these generic versions are actually much more efficient! Taking Viagra as an example, we can cite numerous latest-generation drugs that are also based on sildenafil citrate but feature new, reengineered modifications of the sildenafil molecule, as well as completely new sets of inactive components. Such drugs include Viagra Super Force, Viagra Professional (more about this product at https://www.smartcanadianpharmacy.com/viagra-professional.html)  and others. They are produced at state-of-the-art facilities, have a license, and have passed rigorous clinical trials. We regularly receive reviews from our customers who confirm that they obtain much better, more durable results with these medications than with the Viagra pills they used to buy in their local pharmacy.

Some of our customers are concerned with the very fact of purchasing Viagra online. Indeed, the recent proliferation of fraudulent websites posing as online “pharmacies” is a cause for worry. Great amounts of counterfeit “Viagra” pills are produced and sold in many countries. In the best case scenario, such pills are useless; in the worst case, they seriously damage your health. However, it is not difficult to distinguish between a large online pharmacy with a good reputation and an honest approach and a small, shady website operating out of Africa. Just take some time to browse the pharmacy’s website – check if it offers a large range of products and not just a few very similar pills, look at the payment and delivery options offered. Further, a good pharmacy will have a dedicated customer support team – professional pharmacy technicians who will be ready to answer any questions, just like your traditional pharmacist around the corner. The difference, however, is that employees of an online pharmacy specializing in ED drugs like Viagra are much better informed about the drugs’ possible side effects and the correct method of use.

Coming back to the issue of the users’ possible lack of knowledge about physiology and drugs (which was the main concern of the National Health Service in the UK, mentioned above), it is definitely true that customers who purchase generic Viagra online need to take the responsibility and read the product page and the informational leaflet with great care. We go to great lengths to make as much information as possible available to our clients, and we encourage them to contact us in case of any doubt. Viagra is not a multivitamin – it is a potent drug that does have some contraindications and can interact in dangerous ways with certain other medications. Further, we never cease to stress that you should never use Viagra as a recreational drug. Finally, if the cause of erectile dysfunction is not known, it is always a good idea to visit a physician and do some blood tests – often ED is a sign of an underlying chronic condition, such as diabetes.

As for the original discussion that has taken place in Great Britain, Viagra is now available there over the counter, giving another proof of the fact that sildenafil is an inherently safe drug that does not need to be strictly regulated. As we have said, however, the UK case may not be really relevant, since very efficient and safe generic Viagra is available without a prescription in all those countries where generic drug manufacturers obtain a license.

As you can see, there is no need to spend time worrying if Viagra is available over the counter. This time will be much better spend educating yourself about its properties and its possible effects on your body. Considering the variety of active ingredients present in today’s ED drugs (not just sildenafil, but also tadalafil, vardenafil, and avanafil), one should definitely invest some effort in choosing the right one. And if you still have some concerns or trouble making the choice, please contact our customer support team – we are always happy to help.
