Which Tesco and Boots stores are selling Viagra?
Boots – there is a list of pharmacies that offer in-store Viagra services on the Boots website. This list does not include all Boots pharmacies so you may find that you will not be able to use your closest or regular pharmacy for in store Viagra services.
Tesco – there is no list online indicating which Tesco stores offer Viagra services. You could try calling or visiting your nearest Tesco pharmacy to check whether they offer the service. They may be able to redirect you to a store that does.
Going online instead – if you don’t want to check if your local pharmacy has a Viagra service, or you’ve checked and you can’t find a convenient service near you, you could go online. Online doctor services like Superdrug Online Doctor provide free online assessments for your medication and free to-your-door delivery if your order is approved.
Are Tesco and Boots selling Viagra over the counter?
No. Neither store is able to sell Viagra over the counter. If you want to buy Viagra in person you will need a prescription from a doctor.
You can only get Viagra from a pharmacy once you have a prescription so you need to follow the steps below:
- Make an appointment to see your GP – this may take a few weeks depending on how busy your local GP surgery is
- Go to your GP and consult them about your erectile dysfunction – they will discuss your issues with you face-to-face and may need to take some measurements (such as blood pressure) either during that visit or with a separate visit with a nurse for example
- If your GP gives you a prescription you can fill it at a pharmacy – once you have your prescription from your GP you will need to take it to a pharmacy. Most pharmacies should have it in stock but you may need to wait for them to order your medication in.
- You can then pay for your Viagra – once a pharmacy has prepared your medication they will charge you for your prescription and medication
Because there is no advantage to collecting your Viagra in person, you may find it more convenient to order online.
Do I need a prescription for Viagra? – if you want to buy Viagra in person you will need a prescription. There are 2 types of prescription:
- Private – as long as you are a man over 18 who has erectile dysfunction you can get a private prescription but you will have to pay the full price of the medication
- NHS – this is only for people with specific health conditions but you only have to pay the standard NHS prescription charge, £8.60
Can I get a Viagra prescription? – you can if you are an adult man with erectile dysfunction, as long as you:
- Don’t have certain health conditions that make Viagra unsafe
- Aren’t taking medications that might react badly with Viagra
For more information please see our Viagra product page.
Do Tesco or Boots sell any non-prescription erectile dysfunction treatments? – yes, there are products sold by both Boots and Tesco that are believed to help with erectile dysfunction. However, these are herbal supplements and have not been proven to help in the same way Viagra does. They include:
Beware about buying herbal Viagra supplements online as many retailers offer useless or potentially dangerous products that aren’t well regulated and you could be putting yourself at risk.
Do I need to buy Viagra in person?
No. You don’t need to buy Viagra in person and there are advantages to going online instead. These include:
- You don’t need a prescription beforehand – you will be assessed online like you would for a prescription but you don’t need to go between a doctor and a pharmacy
- Fast and efficient service – you can choose the Click and Collect option and pick up your order after just 3 hours from a Superdrug Pharmacy
- Free and quick delivery, or click and collect – various options available to suit you
- Free standard delivery within 3 – 5 working days
- Next day express delivery for £3.99
- Same day delivery from £3.99 (selected postcodes only)
- Click and collect in-store
- Convenient online service – you only need to fill in a brief assessment questionnaire to order your medicine
- No face-to-face appointment, which saves time
- No prescription fee
- No visit to your local pharmacy required to get your medicine dispensed
- Completely confidential online service – we also use discreet packaging
- A telephone consultation is also available at £25 – a valuable opportunity to ask questions or discuss concerns
How does buying online work? – when you buy online you are assessed in a similar way that you would be if you visited your GP. But because it’s done online, there’s no waiting and it’s much more streamlined. It works as follows:
- You complete a short assessment questionnaire which gives your online doctor the info they need to assess you
- You place an order for the medication you would prefer to be given
- Your online doctor checks your assessment to make sure your preferred medication is right for you
- If they think it is, your doctor will approve your order
- Our pharmacy team will then dispense your medication and post it to your door
Many men prefer going online because it’s less hassle and they don’t want to go through a face-to-face consultation about their erectile dysfunction.
Can I buy Viagra from Boots or Tesco online?
Boots currently does offer an online service for Viagra but Tesco does not. Choosing between online services can be difficult so it can help to look at erectile dysfunction price comparison between service to help decide.
In order to offer online doctor service for Viagra, an organisation needs to meet proper regulations and you can tell the quality of their service via online review services like Trustpilot.
