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:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning users that erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra may cause serious side effects. In a new safety advisory to the FDA, a new drug warning has been added to the drug labels of the three drugs.
In May 2013, a warning was added to the FDA drug labels to alert consumers about serious side effects, including heart attacks, strokes and vision problems. The FDA warned that the drugs caused serious side effects, including heart attacks and strokes.
The FDA has also warned consumers about a new warning about cardiac and blood pressure problems, which is the latest warning to be added to the drug labels of the drugs.
The warning was based on an analysis of data from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The drug labels were updated in June to include the new warning.
“The FDA has warned consumers about the serious risks associated with these and other heart and blood pressure drugs,” said John R. Weinser, MD, FRCP, FRCP-AD, FRCP-B, FRCP-B.
The FDA said the new warning is being added to the drug labels of the following drugs:

Both the warning and the drug labels are updated in June.
A spokesperson for Pfizer said the FDA does not have a position on whether the new warning should be added to the labeling of all drugs.
Pfizer’s U. S. patent on sildenafil (Viagra) expired in May 2012, and the drugmaker is filing new and additional patents for the drug. However, the FDA has not yet decided whether to include the new warning in the label of the drugs.
The FDA warned consumers about the new warning to help reduce the risks of heart attack, strokes and vision problems.
The FDA warned that sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) caused serious heart and blood pressure problems, including a heart attack and stroke.

The FDA added the FDA’s warning to the drug labels of two men who took sildenafil with nitrates for chest pain. These men experienced a serious and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.
In one of these men, he experienced chest pain when taking nitrates for chest pain.
TORONTO — Health Canada approved the first drug to treat erectile dysfunction in men, the first to offer a “pink Viagra” for the treatment.
The Canadian Food and Drug Administration approved the treatment Thursday, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Patented Medicines Agency (CPMA) have both approved the treatment, as well.
“This is a significant milestone for a drug that has gained approval for use in Canada,” said Dr. David L. Butts, CIHR’s vice-president for sexual medicine.
Viagra, or sildenafil citrate, is a drug that was previously used to treat angina, or chest pain. But it’s now approved for use in Canada to treat erectile dysfunction, and also as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, a type of enlarged prostate, among others.
The Canadian government, along with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, has issued warnings about the drug’s use.
According to the American Society of Clinical Endocrinology, the drugs are approved for use in Canada as well. “The use of sildenafil in Canada has been linked to the negative effect of sildenafil citrate in the U. S.”
In other words, Viagra is approved for use in the U. for erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia, which are different conditions.
In addition, the drug can be prescribed for other conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, which are also conditions that affect erectile function.
“There are a number of factors that should be taken into account when prescribing this drug to patients,” Dr. Butts, CIHR’s vice-president for sexual medicine, said.
“We have been working with our Canadian regulatory body to ensure that sildenafil is appropriate for use in Canada,” he added.
Viagra and other drugs for ED, as well as Viagra and Viagra Connect, are approved for the treatment of men’s sexual problems.
“This is a major milestone for a drug that has gained approval for use in Canada and is now approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men,” Butts added.
Dr. Butts, CIHR’s vice-president for sexual medicine, said the drug is approved for use in Canada for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. “We are very grateful for the Canadian regulatory body’s support,” he added.
The drug is available as an oral tablet. In addition to Viagra and other drugs used for ED, it is approved for use in the U. for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Other medications in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and other conditions include anabolic steroids, diuretics and testosterone.
