Is Fildena 100 mg the same as pharmacy Viagra in the UK?

No. Fildena 100 mg is not UK pharmacy Viagra Connect. Connect is 50 mg sildenafil citrate reclassified by MHRA from POM to a pharmacy (P) medicine, sold after a pharmacist check. The P pack's maximum dose is 50 mg. Maximum pack size in the reclassification report was 8 tablets. A Fortune 100 mg strip does not inherit that interview, that strength, or that UK licence. A US fill still needs a written line. The US fill probe is that path.

01Where does a US fill still need a written line?

Forest-green still life: UK bag versus export strip, neither is a US OTC stamp

In the United States. Sildenafil for ED remains prescription-only. There is no US Connect-style P aisle. The clerk bills a listed NDC after a clinician writes sildenafil and a milligram.

The US NDC probe is why Fildena itself is not on that peg.

02Does a UK pharmacist interview apply to an export strip?

No. The interview is attached to Connect's P supply. A banner that ships Fildena 100 does not perform that check.

If you are in the UK and want the P path, you are asking for Connect 50 mg from a registered pharmacy, not for a Fortune carton.

03Why is Connect 50 not a 100 mg ceiling stamp?

The P medicine's maximum dose is 50 mg. Prescription-only sildenafil in the UK can still use 25 mg or 100 mg under a doctor. Those are two legal doors.

Export art that prints 100 first is not the P door. Do not treat a 100 mg strip as 'Connect but stronger.'

04Who sells Connect under a UK pharmacy licence?

Registered UK pharmacies, in person or through a pharmacy team that reviews the questionnaire. Boots and other chains sell Connect 50 mg at the pharmacist's discretion.

A website that never names a GPhC registration is not that path. BeSafeRx is the US analogue. The BeSafeRx probe is the US shop check.

05What strength did MHRA reclassify as a P medicine?

Fifty milligrams. The 2017 reclassification notice named Viagra Connect (sildenafil 50 mg) for men 18 and older with erectile dysfunction. Sale is from pharmacies after a discussion with the pharmacist.

Men with severe cardiovascular disease, high cardiovascular risk, liver failure, severe kidney failure, or certain interacting medicines stay under a doctor. Connect will not be sold to those groups as a P medicine.

06Is Fildena 100 the same as UK pharmacy Viagra?

It is not. Connect is a named UK product with a pharmacy licence path. Fildena 100 is an import listing men photograph. Sharing an INN is not sharing a licence.

The Fildena versus Viagra pulse compares Fildena with Viagra the US brand. This probe stays on Connect.

Vault consult

Answers follow the U.S. Viagra (sildenafil) label for the INN; Fildena is an export carton name.

Ewan L. Can I buy Fildena 100 at a UK counter the way I buy Connect?

Vault reply

No. Connect is the 50 mg P medicine. Fildena 100 is not that licensed pack. Ask a UK pharmacist for Connect 50 mg if that is the path you want.

Soraya F. Is Connect 100 mg?

Vault reply

The P product is 50 mg. Maximum P dose is 50 mg. One hundred milligrams stays on the prescription-only side.

Piet V. Does a US clinic follow Connect rules?

Vault reply

No. The US has no Connect-style P aisle. A written line is still required. See the US fill probe.

Before you start, stop, or change any medicine, speak with your prescriber or pharmacist - they hold your chart, this vault card does not. Open the vault disclaimer.
