Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common problem that affects a lot of men. It is estimated that half of all men between 40 and 70 will suffer from it to some extent. ED can occur for numerous different reasons, including anxiety, depression, obesity, and drinking, and can today be effectively combated with a variety of treatments such as therapy, penile pumps and Viagra.

Erectile Dysfunction isn’t a modern male phenomenon. In fact, the condition goes back for thousands of years – and throughout history the condition has been blamed on a cornucopia of culprits, from the curse of the gods to yin-yang imbalances.

It hasn’t always been as simple as popping a blue pill, or a getting a prescription from your GP. Here are some of the wildest, weirdest and most wonderful attempted cures for male flaccidity through the ages. Read in full

Kamagra oral jelly is the most high-profile and popular fast-acting Viagra substitute found on the internet – but is it safe to buy online? Kamagra is produced by Ajanta Pharma in India, a modern pharmaceutical company with a high level of standards and manufacture. Kamagra contains the same active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, as Viagra and is available as an oral jelly, chewable tablet, and effervescent tablet, and comes in various flavours.

Is Kamagra safe/legal to buy?

Genuine Kamagra is theoretically as safe as any other form of erectile dysfunction medication (Viagra/sildenafil, Cialis/tadalafil, Levitra/vardenafil), however it is not currently licenced for sale in the UK, and therefore not legal to buy or sell in the UK.

No regulated supply chain

Because it is not legal in the UK there is no regulated supply chain to ensure the end user receives a genuine product and not a fake counterfeit. This is a very important point to consider. All licenced medicines sold by Dr Fox are supplied from a UK pharmacy registered with the GPhC. All stock is sourced from reputable and regulated drug wholesale suppliers in the UK. This regulated process ensures the end user receives genuine products. Read in full

The expiry of the Viagra patent on Friday 21 June 2013 in several European countries including the UK was a hugely anticipated event in the pharmaceutical calendar, with generic manufacturers now licenced to produce ‘generic Viagra’ called Sildenafil, the name deriving from the active chemical name of Viagra sildenafil citrate.

National news outlets covered the story with reports of tablets being available from as little as 60 pence each. Dr Fox started to receive numerous enquiries about sildenafil, it’s cost and availability.
