Understanding South African Regulations on Viagra

Viagra, or sildenafil, requires a prescription in South Africa. You cannot legally purchase it over the counter.

Obtaining a Prescription

To get a prescription, consult a registered medical doctor. They will assess your health and determine if Viagra is appropriate for you. Be upfront about your medical history, including any existing conditions or medications you’re taking. This ensures your safety and the efficacy of the treatment.

Buying Viagra Legally

Purchase Viagra only from registered pharmacies. Check the pharmacy’s registration with the relevant South African authorities before buying medication. Never buy from unregistered online vendors or individuals, as these sources often sell counterfeit or substandard drugs, posing significant health risks.

Counterfeit Viagra

Counterfeit Viagra is a serious problem. It may contain incorrect dosages, harmful ingredients, or no active substance at all. Purchasing from reputable sources protects you from these dangers.
