Up until recently, the only legal way to purchase Viagra was with a prescription from your doctor. However, recently things have begun to change. A UK supermarket chain called Boots had been selling Viagra in 4-pill packs for 55 pounds, which is equal to $86.20.

However now, a supermarket called “Tesco” which is located throughout the United Kingdom will begin selling Viagra for only 52 pounds. This is equal to approximately $81.50.

The male erectile dysfunction pill will be available inside of the pharmacy departments in approximately 300 Tesco stores. Only men between the ages of 40 and 65 will be able to purchase the drug after filling out a questionnaire and being screened for several conditions.

In the United States, Viagra may still only be purchased with a doctor’s prescription. Proponents of the drug hope that the U.S. begins to follow the moves made in the UK, but it isn’t expected to happen anytime soon.

The availability of the drug without the need for a prescription should create a large amount of price competition in the UK, which Pfizer won’t be too excited about.

What do you think? Do you believe that Viagra should be able to be purchased without a prescription?
