Is Viagra Connect right for you?
Daily life can sometimes get in the way of your sex life. When it does, Viagra Connect is here to help.
Who it’s for: Viagra Connect is for adult men (over 18 years of age) who have erection problems (EPs) – what doctors might call erectile dysfunction (ED).
Who it isn’t for: If you are a woman, a man under 18, or do not have EPs, then Viagra Connect isn’t the right treatment for you.
Where you buy it: From our trusted partner ChemistDirect, from other online pharmacies, and from your local pharmacy. No prescription needed.
Are you taking other medicines? Some medicines can interact with Viagra Connect, so you’ll be asked what else you might be taking before you can buy it.
Do you have any other health conditions? 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.
For more information about who Viagra Connect is suitable for please read the Patient Information Leaflet, available from the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC), or speak to your pharmacist.

Viagra Connect:
1 tablet 1 hour before sex
When taking Viagra Connect, always follow the directions on the Patient Information Leaflet included in the pack:
- Take 1 tablet about 1 hour before sex
- Swallow the tablet whole with a drink of water
- Do not take more than 1 tablet a day
Take Viagra Connect as directed to help you get the best results.
Try and do the following to get the most out of Viagra Connect:
- Get in the mood. Viagra Connect usually starts to work within 30–60 minutes, so you can be ready when you need to be. Remember, taking Viagra Connect isn’t going to give you an instant erection; you need to be sexually aroused for it to work. You and your partner should engage in foreplay, just like you would if you weren’t taking medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED) – the medical name for erection problems (EPs)
- Relax. There’s no rush. Viagra Connect works for up to 4 hours after you take it – it will still work within this period of time, in response to sexual stimulation
- Watch what you eat. Viagra Connect can be taken with or without food. But if you take it after a meal that has a lot of fat in it, like a burger and chips, it might take a bit longer to start working
- Get familiar. If it’s been a long time since you had an erection, try masturbating before having sex so you can get used to the feeling of having an erection again
- Don’t give up. If Viagra Connect doesn’t work first time, don’t worry, getting used to having an erection again can take a while. Next time you’re ready, take another tablet – but never more than 1 a day
- Keep your options open. If Viagra Connect doesn’t work for you after several separate tries, talk to your pharmacist or doctor. You might need a different treatment – either for your erection problems, or for a condition that is contributing to them
- Always read the instructions. The Patient Information Leaflet, which you’ll find in the Viagra Connect box, tells you exactly what to do to get the best results from Viagra Connect, so it’s worth reading. In fact, it’s essential

Counterfeit Viagra Connect: the dangers
How can you be sure medicines bought online are genuine? A website and the medicines it sells might look like the real thing, but you can only be certain when you know you’re buying from a legitimate source.
Counterfeit medicines might be ineffective because they contain too much or too little active ingredient, or no active ingredient at all.
How to make sure an online pharmacy is genuine
For peace of mind, follow these simple rules:
1. A legitimate pharmacy will ask you some simple questions to make sure Viagra Connect is right for you. If you aren’t asked any questions, don’t use the pharmacy.
2. Legitimate online pharmacies, ones like our trusted partner ChemistDirect, are registered with regulatory organisations. Look for a logo with a registration number on the homepage. Clicking on the logo will take you to the regulatory body the pharmacy is registered with.
3. You can also search the regulatory body’s website using the number on the logo and the pharmacy’s name and address. If the online pharmacy isn’t registered, don’t use it.
