Generic sildenafil brand preference survey report

Sildenafil medicine packs (different brands)

For several years Dr Fox patients have been able to have their preferred generic manufacturer/brand of sildenafil noted on their account, as well as manufacturers/brands they preferred not to receive.

These preferences have now been carefully collated into a report, the results of which are listed below. Accord/Actavis, Teva, Mylan, and Bristol Labs were the manufacturers/brands preferred most often.

Dr Fox used to supply only Torrent Pharma sildenafil which was very popular with our patients, and had a score line so could be broken in half easily. Unfortunately Torrent ceased manufacturing sildenafil.

ED Medication – ‘Cialis Together’ over-the-counter tadalafil

Cialis Together 10mg medicine pack

On 14 March 2023, the UK Medicines regulator (MHRA) approved an application to reclassify the erectile dysfunction medication Cialis. When marketed as Cialis Together (tadalafil 10mg), it will be a ‘P’ (pharmacy) medication, and so available ‘over the counter’ in pharmacies – see MHRA reclassifies Cialis Together tablets to a Pharmacy medicine – GOV.UK. This follows the 2018, ‘P’ classification of Viagra Connect (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

Orlistat for weight loss

March 2025: Unfortunately Dr Fox no longer offers weight loss treatment. Guidance is that medication should be used alongside weight loss support and weight should be independently verified which we are currently unable to do. Please check the weight loss NHS advice for further support and access to weight loss programmes. Alli (orlistat 60mg) can be purchased over the counter from your local pharmacy. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Orlistat medicine packs

Dr Fox now supplies prescription weight loss medication, orlistat, for people with a BMI over 28 kg/m². Orlistat has been available in the UK since 1998 and has helped millions of people to lose weight successfully.

The following orlistat preparations are available from Dr Fox:

  • Orlistat 120mg (generic)
  • Xenical 120mg (orlistat)
  • alli 60mg (orlistat)

Symptoms and signs of abusive relationships

Sometimes we don’t realise we are in an abusive relationship because behaviour patterns have become so normal to us – see Gov.uk – Domestic abuse: recognise the signs

  • Are you ever afraid of your partner?
  • Do you change your behaviour because you’re frightened of your partner’s reaction?
  • Is your partner jealous and possessive? 
  • Do you often feel like you’re walking on eggshells? 
  • Do you feel controlled or isolated?

If the answer to any of these questions is Yes, then you may be in an abusive relationship – see Women’s Aid – How to recognise domestic abuse.

You are not alone and there are many places to find support.
