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 UK have 3 categories:
1.Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate): Cialis and nitrates both lower blood pressure. Taking them together can cause a significant and potentially life-threatening drop in blood pressure (hypotension), leading to dizziness, fainting, or even heart attack or stroke. It is contraindicated to use Cialis with nitrates or recreational "poppers" (amyl nitrites).
2.Alpha-blockers (e.g., prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin): Both Cialis and alpha-blockers relax blood vessels, which can lead to excessive blood pressure reduction when used together. This may result in dizziness, fainting, or orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing). If needed, your doctor may adjust the dosage or recommend spacing the medications.
3.Other antihypertensive drugs (e.g., atenolol, propranolol, enalapril, lisinopril): Cialis can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effects of these medications. While this interaction is usually less severe than with nitrates or alpha-blockers, it can still cause dizziness or fainting in sensitive individuals. Close monitoring of blood pressure is recommended.
Cialis (tadalafil) can interact with certain foods and beverages, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Here are the key drug-food interactions to be aware of:
Kamagra Oral Jelly is a medication sold toand boost sexual performance. It comes in the form of a jelly that dissolves in your mouth. It comes in the form of a dissolvable jelly in a sachet. According to the manufacturer, Ajanta Pharma, each sachet contains100mg of sildenafilcitrate, which is the same active ingredient used in erectile dysfunction treatments likeand. Kamagra Oral Jelly isnotapproved for use in the UK, so it isillegal to buy or sellthis medication.
The manufacturer states that Kamagra Jelly should be taken30 minutes before sexYou do this byplacing the jelly in your mouth, where it dissolves and is absorbed. This is only confirmed by the manufacturer and not from any studies or tests.
An oral jelly is adissolvable gelthat’s meant to be easier to swallow than a pill. ‘Sexual enhancers’ (medication claimed to boost your sex life by providers) are often advertised and sold as oral jelly with claims that they start working faster and are easier to take than conventional treatments. However, no clear evidence exists that says that using oral jelly makes this type of medication work faster.

Kamagra Oral Jelly is meant to beas and when you need it‘Kamagra Oral Jelly is a prescription medication,’ the manufacturer claims,and isnot made for use in the UK‘If you are allergic to sildenafil or any of the other ingredients of Kamagra, you should not take it. If you have ever had an allergic reaction to Kamagra Oral Jelly, you should stop using it and avoid sexual activity.’This also means that if you need sexual activity after taking Kamagra Oral Jelly, you are unlikely to be able to do it again.
However, there are other forms of sexual performance enhancing supplements that the manufacturer has shown work faster than Kamagra Oral Jelly. ‘There are products that claim to enhance sexual performance, but there are no scientific evidence to suggest that Kamagra Oral Jelly makes this type of medication work faster. Therefore, you should use this oral jelly only if you have sex with it,’ says Dr McLaughlin.
There are some side effects that the manufacturer has shown in studies that Kamagra Oral Jelly can cause. ‘Side effects are not serious and do not tend to last as long as other medications,’ they says. ‘Some of the most common side effects of Kamagra Oral Jelly include:
No specific side effects have been found that show up in any of the side effects. However, several studies have shown that Kamagra Oral Jelly can also raise theof blood pressure medication‘If you are having sex with Kamagra Oral Jelly, you should tell your doctor before taking this medication,’ says Dr McLaughlin. � ‘This may cause a back pain or headache. If this happens, stop using the medication and seek medical attention immediately.
