On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed asCialis Together(tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of (sildenafil 50mg) which has been available OTC, without a prescription, since then.
This decision is good news for men’s health …. Erectile dysfunction can be a debilitating condition, so it’s important men feel they have fast access to quality and legitimate care
Dr Laura Squire, MHRA’s Chief Officer for Healthcare, Quality and Access
Unfortunately, there is a strong black market in the UK for ED medicines, which are often unlicensed or counterfeit. UK Border Force and the MHRA seize millions of pounds of these fake products from criminals annually. This new classification of tadalafil 10mg will enable men who suffer from ED to obtain it safely from a local pharmacy.
Sanofi, the drug manufacturer, is expected to launch Cialis Together later in 2023. Cialis Together will be available to purchase in pharmacies without a prescription by men over 18 with erectile dysfunction. Cialis Together tablets will contain 10mg tadalafil and the maximum pack size will be 8 tablets. Other doses and pack sizes of Cialis and tadalafil will still be available on prescription through doctors and specially trained pharmacists. Before purchase in a pharmacy there must be an assessment with a pharmacist, who will check that Cialis Together is appropriate and safe, or whether consultation with a GP is necessary.
Men suffering with ED will have another treatment option with the convenience of purchasing it in their local pharmacy, including pharmacies found inside supermarkets (eg. Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s). The pharmacist will ask some health questions, may check blood pressure, and will advise on treatment with Cialis Together or Viagra Connect, or the need to consult a GP. Pharmacies usually have a private room for such discussions.
Cialis Together is a 10mg tadalafil product for use at least 30 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity. Its effects can last. It is not recommended for daily use. The maximum recommended dose of Cialis Together will be one tablet in 24 hours. Prescription Cialis and tadalafil will still be available at different doses.
Dr Fox welcomes the wider access to ED medication for men that Cialis Together classified as a ‘P’ OTC medication will provide. We at Dr Fox are aware of the difficulties men have in discussing ED with their GPs and in accessing ED medication. We know that Cialis is effective and safe for most men and this change provides another option for obtaining ED treatment. Pharmacists are health professionals who are able to give ED advice but they will also know when to refer men who would benefit from a doctor’s assessment. ‘P’ medicines can also be supplied on prescription, and we will offer Cialis Together, when available, alongside our other competitively priced ED products.

In the early morning hours of a Sunday morning at the small, slightly decorated pub, a middle-aged man wearing a bathrobe on his head came over to buy sex toys.
He told the police he had gone to a local bar for a drink and was caught up in the night and taken to a bar for sex.
He then asked for a second cup of coffee, but the man said the coffee was for his friends.
“I said I don’t want to be in here,” he said. “I don’t want to go anywhere. I’ll have to go somewhere else.”
The man didn’t say he was sorry, but he seemed surprised by the size of the pub. “It was so small,” he said. “It was the largest I’ve ever seen.”
The man was arrested at a Birmingham bar in May 2005.
He told police he was taking a bag of Viagra from his pocket and was having sex with the man.
“I saw a lot of things about the man, and I had a lot of questions about him,” he said.
He said he was “stoked” by the man’s advances and asked for a second cup of coffee. He then asked for a third cup of coffee.

Viagra is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Viagra works by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) that breaks down cGMP, a substance that promotes nerve cells to contract and relax muscles in the penis. Cialis works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, which helps relax muscles to facilitate erections. Cialis is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and oral medications. It is most effective when taken at the first sign of an erection. It can also be taken with or without food. However, if you have been taking Cialis for more than a week or two, it may take longer for it to work. If you have been taking Viagra for more than four hours or more than once, you may need to be hospitalized. The dosage and frequency of treatment depend on your medical history and other medications you may be taking. The dosage and frequency of treatment vary depending on your age, your health status, and the severity of your ED.
Treatment Options for ED: Treatment Options for ED: Cialis (Tadalafil) is the brand name for Cialis, also known as Tadalafil.
