Sildenafil (Viagra): Prescription - Only Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
"Comparr sildenafil (purchasing sildenafil) is subject to strict regulations in many countries and regions.
1. Legal channels
1、Regular pharmacies with prescriptions
- In most countries, sildenafil is a prescription drug. For example, in the United States, patients must first be diagnosed by a doctor. The doctor determines that the patient has applicable conditions such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and issues a prescription before patients can go to regular pharmacies with the prescription (such as large chain pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens).
- In some European countries, a doctor's prescription is also required and the drug is obtained from a qualified pharmacy.
2、hospital pharmacy
- If the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases is carried out in a hospital, after the doctor prescribes sildenafil, the patient can directly purchase it at the hospital pharmacy. This helps ensure rational use of the drug and makes it easier for the doctor to track the patient's medication, especially for those who also suffer from other diseases (such as cardiovascular disease and other conditions that may interact with sildenafil).
2. Risks of illegal purchase
1、Quality is not guaranteed
- When purchasing sildenafil from illegal channels (such as some unqualified online platforms or street vendors), you may buy fake or inferior medicines. These medicines may not undergo strict quality testing, and their composition, purity and safety cannot be guaranteed. They may contain harmful impurities or the wrong dose, which may cause serious health hazards after taking them, such as causing serious adverse reactions or even endangering lives.
2、legal risks
- In many countries, illegal purchase of prescription drugs is illegal. In China, if you purchase sildenafil-like drugs without a legal prescription, the drug regulatory authorities can investigate and punish them in accordance with the law, and the purchaser may face fines and other penalties.
If there is a need to use sildenafil, you must obtain it through legal channels.
