Viagra Rationing in the UK

Reports coming from different news agencies and newspapers in the United Kingdom, are stating that Health authorities are beginning to enforce a new policy to begin rationing Viagra and other Erectile Dysfunction medications. The new guidelines for prescription on these treatments now state that men who take Viagra will see their intake of the medication cut down to a 50%.

In the UK, men diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction are prescribed with a dosage of four pills a month, the new prescription recommendation is requesting to limit the amount of pills prescribed to just two a month. Health authorities, when questioned on the matter, have defended that this is not an official policy to be adopted by all doctors, that is merely a recommendation. However, given some consideration, analyst have stated that it wouldn’t be of much surprise if in the future this became a national policy.

Doctors in the affected areas in the UK, such as Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, are cautious to follow this new policy. While they are unsure of what will occur in the near future they still prescribe four pills for their regular patients, but are limiting to just two to the new patients. Most doctors are not agreeing with this new policy since is widely known that a healthy sex life is a key part of health and well being.

The reason for this unpopular decision, the true main goal is to economize on non-essential treatments, according to some sources. The guidance applies Sildenafil based drugs (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra) and Tadalafil (Cialis). Although this new policy is relatively brand new, the impact of it is still unknown. Many experts are stating that one possibility that might become handy for men unable to get their prescription would be to seek generic Viagra online, these secret is something that the authorities and big pharmaceutical companies don’t want them to know.
