Your guide to buying Viagra online

Viagra is the most well-known treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). It contains Sildenafil, a type of prescription medicine called a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by promoting blood flow to the penis to help you achieve and sustain an erection more easily.

Launched in 1998, the little blue pill has since been prescribed for more than 64 million men worldwide. The high demand for Viagra means many men want to get it as quickly, discreetly and conveniently as possible.

This leads many men to try to get Viagra online so they don’t have to go to the GP. However, these sources are often unsafe and unregulated, potentially leaving you with a false product.

Keep reading to learn more about how to order Viagra online, how to pick a legitimate provider and how to know your product is genuine.

Can I buy Viagra without a prescription in the UK?

You cannot buy Viagra without a prescription in the UK.

Viagra is a prescription-only medicine, or a POM. This means it must be prescribed by a registered doctor. This is so your doctor can make sure it’s safe and suitable for you to take.

You should always be careful when ordering medicine online. Many websites claiming to be legitimate healthcare providers do not have the right credentials and could deceive you into buying a fake product.

euroClinix offers an online prescription service to make buying ED treatments online as easy as possible. Simply complete an online health assessment and one of our registered doctors can make sure treatment is safe for you. Once approved, we will send your medication directly to your door in discreet packaging.

What are the risks of buying Viagra without a prescription from unregulated providers?

Other websites or providers that try to sell Viagra without a prescription are not trustworthy and could cause you harm.

There are several risks when ordering Viagra from an unregulated provider.

3 risks of buying Viagra online

Why you should avoid unregulated online healthcare providers.

1. Lack of medical screening

  • No health assessment means there is no guarantee that the medicine is safe for you to take.
  • A health problem you have or a medication you take may cause you to have a bad reaction to Viagra.

2. Risk of receiving a fake product

  • A website may promise genuine Viagra. However, without a prescription, it may be a fake or counterfeit product.
  • You may receive a product that doesn’t contain what it says, which could cause you to see no benefits or, in worst cases, cause you harm.

3. Lack of customer support

  • Unregulated medical providers may not offer aftercare or support if you are not happy with the service or if you experience side effects.
  • You may also not be refunded if you receive a fake product.

Important:

Avoid any online healthcare provider offering "genuine" Viagra without a prescription. While it may appear more convenient, it could do more harm than good.

How do I know a provider is regulated in the EU?

When buying Viagra online in the EU, you should make sure the healthcare provider follows the relevant regulatory standards. Safe and legitimate healthcare providers will follow standards for both the medical staff and facilities.

Licensed medical staff

All doctors who prescribe medication in the EU must be licensed to practice medicine in the EU. This ensures that they have the necessary qualifications, skills and experience to practice and prescribe medicine in the EU.

Each EU country will have its own medical regulatory body that maintains registers of all qualified medical practitioners. Any medical staff should have an individual number that you can use to search them in their directory.

Before purchasing from an online healthcare provider, make sure that:

  • the prescribing doctors are licensed in the EU
  • their credentials and registration numbers are clearly displayed on their website
  • you can verify their registration through the relevant national medical authority

Registered EU pharmacy

As well as the medical staff, all pharmacies must comply with strict pharmaceutical regulations to ensure the facilities are adequate and safe to prescribe medicines. This includes online pharmacies.

Look for online healthcare providers that:

  • are registered with the national pharmaceutical regulatory authority
  • display their pharmacy registration number clearly on their website
  • follow EU Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines set by the EMA (European Medical Agency)

Data Protection and Privacy

All EU-based healthcare providers must also comply with data privacy laws to keep your personal data and medical information safe & secure. In the EU, this is known as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You should make sure that the website complies with these laws before ordering Viagra online.

Online healthcare provider checklist

How to know a provider is regulated and safe to order Viagra from.

Make sure that:

  • the doctors are registered with the relevant EU medical authority.
  • the pharmacy is registered with the relevant EU pharmaceutical authority.
  • the website complies with General Data Protection Regulation.

How do I know the Viagra I’m buying is genuine?

Viagra is one of the most counterfeited drugs in the world. This is why it is important to make sure that the Viagra you are purchasing is genuine.

Counterfeit medications are becoming very sophisticated, but there are always telltale signs. Inconsistent colouring, rough edges on the tablets or incorrect logos are common red flags to look out for,

Dr. Caroline Fontana Lead Prescribing Doctor

You should check the outside packaging, make sure it says the name Viagra and the manufacturer's name, Pfizer.

You should also check the pills themselves. Real Viagra pills are blue, diamond-shaped, with Pfizer printed on them.

  • Make sure the pills are all the same colour.
  • Make sure they are diamond-shaped.
  • Check that the edges are smooth.
  • Check the ‘f’ in the Pfizer logo looks the same.
  • Check that the pill is the same colour on both sides.

Counterfeit versions of Viagra can vary in colour, shape or have spelling errors in packaging. They may also contain harmful ingredients or too much or too little of the active ingredient Sildenafil. This is because they will not have been regulated or tested.

What to do if you’re unsure

If you’re not sure if the Viagra you’ve bought is genuine:

  • Do not take it. Verify whether it’s genuine first.
  • Compare your product to official pictures of Viagra online.
  • Contact your local pharmacy to help you verify the legitimacy of your product.
  • Report suspicious products to your local medicines authority.

What Viagra alternatives are available?

There are some alternatives available, both with and without a prescription. You should always ask your doctor before using one of these alternatives if you have a medical condition or take any other medications that may interact with Viagra.

PDE-5 Inhibitors

Prescription required

All work similarly to Viagra, but with different active ingredients.

Penis pumps

No prescription

Devices that use suction to help dilate blood vessels in the penis to help you get an erection.

Once erect, a rubber ring (tension ring) is placed at the base of the penis to maintain the erection by preventing blood from flowing back out.

Erection gels

No prescription

Applied before sex, these gels warm the penis to promote blood flow, making it easier to get and maintain an erection.

They can create a warming, tingling, or cooling sensation to enhance arousal, but effectiveness varies widely.

Herbal remedies

No prescription
  • Ginseng - can improve sex drive and improve erections
  • Zinc - a lack of zinc is believed to be linked to erectile dysfunction
  • Amino acids - improves blood flow, making it easier to get an erection

Caution:

Non-prescription products are often unregulated, and there is not a lot of evidence that they work for some medical conditions. Consult your doctor before using them.

Conclusion

Viagra is only available on prescription. Websites claiming to offer prescription Viagra without a valid prescription may not be legitimate, and you should verify the website’s safety before ordering anything.

In some countries, Viagra is available over-the-counter as “Viagra Connect”. In case it is available in your country, you would not need a prescription, but you still need to speak to a pharmacist to ensure it is safe for you to take.

However, there are ways of ordering Viagra online with a prescription from legitimate healthcare providers like euroClinix.

These providers are a safe, convenient and discreet option if you do not want to book an appointment with your GP. There are also several safe non-prescription alternatives if you are unable to take Viagra.
