More men should get Viagra

05 December 2007 (Wednesday)

More men should get Viagra on the NHS to halt a growing internet trade in fake pills, doctors warned yesterday.

Patients are being put at risk by counterfeit medicines, a lack of a proper diagnosis and serious side effects from buying and using the real thing without medical supervision, the British Medical Association said.

It urged the Government to review criteria that limit the use of drugs treating erection problems to specific medical conditions.

Experts estimate that only 10 per cent of the 2.3million British men with such problems are receiving treatment.

BMA chairman Dr Hamish Meldrum said doctors opposed the way the criteria discriminated against some patients who were denied medicine even if they could benefit.

He warned that the restrictions helped drive the trade in prescription drugs over the internet and patients may end up buying fake drugs that did not work or contain harmful ingredients.

This could lead to a delay in getting a proper diagnosis, serious side effects, or the risk of bogus pills affecting the performance of medicine already being taken by patients for other conditions.

Dr Meldrum criticised the "halfway house" created by restrictions which led to a huge row when they were imposed in 1999.

He said: "Many internet sites are offering Viagra at a price lower than at the chemist.

"But you may not be getting Viagra, you may be getting an inactive substance or at worst possibly a dangerous substance.

"This is almost a political decision about whether you get it on the NHS. Where they are drawing the line is not a very good place.

"Men are still wary of going to their doctor. They may self-diagnose and self-prescribe via the internet. One of the messages we are trying to get over is the danger of doing that."

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is investigating twice as many counterfeit cases as five years ago and warned that counterfeiters were even selling to wholesalers supplying the NHS.

Drugs for erectile dysfunction are restricted to men with diabetes, MS, Parkinson's, polio, prostate cancer, prostatectomy, radical pelvic surgery, kidney failure, severe pelvic injury, single gene neurological disease, spinal cord injury and spina bifida.

Men with severe distress caused by impotence can be prescribed drugs by a hospital specialist.

The drugs they can get on the NHS are Caverject, MUSE, Viridal, Uprima, Erecnos, Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, which cost more than £30million to prescribe in 2003.

That figure rises yearly and the Department of Health said: "We have concerns about the cost of changing the arrangements."
