Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, is a prescription-only medication in Canada. You must obtain a valid prescription from a licensed Canadian physician before purchasing it. Health Canada regulates the sale and distribution of sildenafil, ensuring quality and safety standards are met by approved manufacturers.
Obtaining a Prescription
To get a prescription, consult your doctor or a telehealth provider. They will assess your medical history and determine if sildenafil is appropriate for you. Be open and honest about your health conditions and medications. Your doctor may request blood tests or other assessments before prescribing sildenafil. Pharmacies are legally obliged to verify your prescription before dispensing the medication. Be aware that illegally importing sildenafil carries risks, including receiving counterfeit or unsafe drugs.
Purchasing from Licensed Pharmacies
Purchase sildenafil only from licensed Canadian pharmacies. Verify their legitimacy through Health Canada’s website or by checking their licensing information with your provincial regulatory body. Beware of online pharmacies that do not require a prescription or claim to offer unusually low prices; these may be illegal and dangerous. Always check the product’s packaging for Health Canada’s drug identification number to ensure authenticity.
