    Does anybody know if you need to show proof of being a UK citizen to purchase Viagra in the North now that it is OTC?

    Tried it online and you have to pay a €20 consultation fee plus the price of the meds when you collect them at the Irish chemist. I think guys will continue to get them black market.

    Same story when women try to buy the pill OTC as well.

    You can get Viagra using an online doctor.
    25 euro for the prescription.
    24 tablets are less than 20 euro if you get generic sildenafil.

    Also get 100mg tabs and cut them in half and that makes 48 tabs for 40euro.
    So not expensive at all really.

    I take a half a pill most nights. Stops me rolling out of bed :pac:

    Anyone get these black market?

    Try ordering sildenafil online through lloydsdoctoronline.ie

    There is even a Dublin phone number to talk to someone.

    I went through the process, purely for research purposes of course... ;)

    There is 3 dosage levels, select which one. Answer about 30+ tick the box questions.

    You will have to register with Lloyds doctor online if you are not registered with them.

    I am not, and did not register with them.

    I’ve purchased them off Lloyd’s in the Uk online. Collect at store. Think it worked out at 27 pounds between consultation and 4 tablets. I get them here in boots now. €8.20 for 4. But, if I buy 6 months supply together they waive the dispensing fee of €3.50 after the first box. So €8.20 for box 1 and €4.70 for boxes 2-5. Don’t know if that’s because its my friend is pharmacist there but he told me do it that way. But all in all, cheap enough. That’s for sildenafil clonmel. I tried ciallis but that gave me the runs every time - oh well

    Can you purchase Viagra if you go up north on the day you travel, is this possible. Do they just ask you a series of questions

    Why go anywhere other than your local pharmacy if you have a medical card.

    I went to my doctor and got a prescription , I can get 4 tabs per month and pay 2 euro .

    Because not everyone has the medical card. Yes, I believe boots and Tesco pharmacies (and others) now offer these over the counter. They can be expensive though so try get generics.

    Another option is to get an online prescription off a pharmacy here in the republic (such as Lloyd’s for 25 euro). I bring the prescription to a boots in town and it’s roughly 8 Euro for 4 - cheaper if you buy in bulk. But I get a generic brand

    Yes but can you buy the generics in Boots & Tesco and how do you go about buying these, do they have a doctor in the stores regarding assessment. Can you purchase them up north & down the same day.

    Over the counter
    Means you can buy them like you would any other drug. They may ask you a few questions but that’s about it it’s no big deal

    Yes - just questions about your medical history.

    Its harder basically.. and getting the little guy back up also helps..

    I bought some on Superdrug awhile back and sent to parcelmotel, tried to do it again after and they wouldnt let me, i didnt really need them but was having some anxiety. Tried them to see if it would help and it really did, i only got 4 but was trying to buy more in case I might need them. Ended up cutting them in half.

    I was glad I took them, helped me relax, wasnt physical in my case at all which is good but the fact it helped me was such a plus, havent had to use them in about 6 months.

    So it worked for me. If I genuinely needed them, i would just go GP.

    Lowers your refractory period.
    Make you stay the distance longer.
    A bit like lucozade before a race.

    If your planning on staying in for the night and having a long session then it’s the job.

    If you can't get an erection, viagra won't help out much. These types of medications are to assist in maintaining one. You won't get it, if you can't get an erection.
