What is Spedra?
Spedra is the fastest acting erectile dysfunction medication on the market. It can work in as little as 15 minutes, whereas most ED treatments take 30 minutes to 1 hour to work. Spedra contains the active ingredient avanafil, which helps to improve blood flow to the penis to help you achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for penetrative sex.
Can you buy Spedra over the counter in the UK?
Spedra is not available over the counter in the UK, but it is available on prescription. Spedra is still under patent, meaning that generic versions are not yet available, therefore, you are unlikely to be offered Spedra on the NHS unless you have tried all the other options first. However, Spedra is available on prescription from online pharmacies such as Dr Felix. You simply complete an online consultation form, which will be reviewed by our doctors. If suitable, your medication will be shipped to you in plain discreet packaging with no indication of the contents inside.
Alternative treatments
The only erectile dysfunction medication available over the counter in the UK is Viagra Connect. This is a 50mg dose of Viagra available in packs of 4-8 tablets. Alternatively, a range of drugs are available on prescription to treat ED including Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil) and Cialis (Tadalafil).
Some high street stores and websites may also offer alternative medicines for ED treatment. However, there is no scientific evidence base behind these treatments and some of them can even produce harmful effects. Therefore, it is recommended that you stick to conventional medicine where possible.
If you do not want to take pills, a penis pump may be an alternative for you, but people do find these can interfere with sex, as they need to be used just before you need an erection. In addition, penis pumps can cause injury, so make sure that you use them correctly and only purchase one from a reliable supplier.
