Men will no longer require a prescription to obtain viagra in the UK and will instead be able to buy it over the counter at pharmacies. The decision by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency follows a public consultation. The MHRA
hopes it will stop some men buying unregulated medicines from websites operating illegally. Experts say making the medication more widely available will help men who might not feel able to visit their GP about impotence. It will be up to
pharmacists to judge whether men over the age of 18 can safely be sold the blue pills. Viagra Connect will not be sold to those with heart problems or those taking other medicines that could cause a bad reaction when combined with Viagra. It will now be up to manufacturer Pfizer to arrange supplies to pharmacies.
