Viagra Connect | O’Connor’s Pharmacy Rochestown

What is Viagra Connect?

Viagra Connect® is a treatment for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) containing 50mg of sildenafil. It is available to patients over the age of 18 years with ED – directly from our pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription.

Viagra Connect® as a treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient to have sex. Erection problems can put a strain on a couples’s relationship. They can also be an indicator of a health condition or disease you might not be aware of. We provide a discreet in-store consultancy and guidance on your options to treat erectile dysfunction.

How does Viagra Connect work?

Viagra Connect® is quickly absorbed – it takes 30–60 minutes to work. Do not take more than 1 tablet a day. When you take it with a meal that has a lot of fat in it, like fast food, your body will take longer to absorb Viagra Connect®.

Viagra Connect® is for adult men (over 18 years of age) who have erectile dysfunction (ED).

We are required to ask you about any current medication and health conditions to ensure Viagra Connect® is a safe and appropriate treatment for you.

Some medicines can interact with Viagra Connect®, so you’ll be asked what else you might be taking before you can buy it.

Some men will have issues with their health that make Viagra Connect® unsuitable for them. This is why you’ll be asked a few straightforward questions about your health before you can buy it.

What happens when you visit the pharmacy?

Although ED is just another condition that men deal with, we appreciate that some men may be uncomfortable in seeking treatment. We want to make it as easy as possible for you. A consultation with the pharmacist is required before any supply of Viagra Connect® can be made. We have private consultation rooms in all of our pharmacies.

You can ask to speak to a pharmacist when you visit the store and you only need to tell them why you are there.

We are required to ask you about any current medication and health conditions to ensure Viagra Connect® is a safe and appropriate treatment for you.

When you get Viagra Connect® we will give you a repeat supply slip. If you bring this in with you the next time you need to make a purchase, the pharmacist doesn’t need to ask all of the same questions again. They will verify that nothing has changed since your last purchase before making the supply.

The pharmacist will advise you to get a health check-up with your doctor as soon as you can within 6 months of first receiving Viagra Connect®. This is to check for any underlying medical problems that can sometimes be associated with erectile dysfunction.
