Are you still buying dodgy Viagra ?

[Nova70]

Recognising that these are recreational performance drugs does tend to make it a hot topic for old and new. Your useful post is clearly directed for those who do use them, my comment was more for people who are considering using them. These are strong drugs hence they are restricted GSL medicines. The MRHA classify these drugs as safe with guidance and as these were previously prescribed drugs the GP’s essentially provided a screening service that helped to classify them as safe. Sadly this is no longer present with OTC drugs to the same extent. It was not my intension to hijack your good post but just add a degree of caution about using them without consultation.  Taking them might be the cure to a secondary issue but not to the underlying illness behind it: diabetes, heart condition, hypertension or worse testicular cancer among younger men and the list goes on. Apologies if you think this is out of context to your original post.

Your absolutely right of course anyone who is genuinely suffering from erectile dysfunction should go to their GP and not automatically assume that Viagra or similar drugs are the answer and attempt to purchase them online, the original purpose of this thread was intended to disuade those who are using these drugs for recreational purposes from buying from unlicenced sources because of the risks involved, you may be buying genuine Viagra or a generic but there's no way of knowing for sure, it could be just a rip-off, dummy pills of some sort but it might just be something toxic, why take the risk when you can obtain the real thing from a recognised supplier.
