Bluechew has become a well-known brand name for chewable Viagra in the USA but what about the UK? Bluechew has not yet made its way to the UK market leaving the Brits high and dry for a suitable alternative, or are we? The UK has many registered alternatives with the exact same active ingredient.

What is Bluechew & Chewable Sildenafil?
Bluechew is a brand name of chewable Viagra from the United States. It contains the active ingredient sildenafil, the same active ingredient in Viagra but in a chewable form. Sildenafil, like other ED medications, improve blood flow around the penis, making it easier to gain and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.
Bluechew and Viagra (Sildenafil) are both prescription-only medicines in the UK and USA. This means to buy chewable sildenafil an online consultation must be medically reviewed by a doctor who can issue a prescription if you a suitable for treatment. Our registered UK service is one such way of buying a Bluechew equivalent in the UK.
Sildenafil is the most well known erectile dysfunction treatment, being around since 1998 in the form of Viagra. Viagra and Cialis, also known as Sildenafil and Tadalafil, long existed purely in a solid tablet form until Bluechew. Bluechew has since listed both chewable sildenafil and tadalafil. Chewable tablets remain unavailable in the UK as there are no registered chewable alternatives. There are however many tablets that can be crushed or chewed before swallowing.
Where can I buy Bluechew in the UK?
Currently, there is nowhere you can buy Bluechew branded pills in the UK or anywhere outside of the USA. The company behind Bluechew has expressed interest in coming to countries such as the UK but so far has not done so.
Sildenafil tablets are the closest registered UK alternative. They are available online in the UK after an online consultation with a registered doctors service, such as Simple Online Pharmacy. If approved by our doctors, your medicine is delivered right to your door with the Royal Mail service.
Why choose chewable sildenafil?
Chewable tablets like Bluechew may offer a slightly faster time to effect than traditional tablets. This is because the chewed up tablet spends less time dissolving after its swallowed, allowing for quicker absorption and effects. While this may only save 5-10 minutes, for men caught up in the heat of the moment, it can make a difference.
Chewable sildenafil pills also give men who struggle to swallow tablets an option that is more suitable for them. Since the UK does not have a chewable alternative currently, it is recommended that men with swallowing difficulty crush, break or chew the regular tablets. This will not alter their effect but it will make them easier to take for those with swallowing difficulties. The only problem with this can be the taste as regular Sildenafil tablets are not flavoured.
What is the difference between Bluechew and Sildenafil Tablets?
While Sildenafil tablets are similar to Bluechew, they are certainly not the same. The available doses are a major difference between the brands. Sildenafil is available in the traditional Viagra strengths found in the UK, 25mg, 50mg and 100mg, while Bluechew comes in 30mg or 45mg pills. The number of tablets in each pack will also vary from the American brand, coming in a 4 or 8 pack in the UK.
How much does the UK’s equivalent to Bluechew cost?
Sildenafil costs as little as 78p / tablet. That includes the doctor reviewing the request and providing a prescription. The reason for the low cost of Sildenafil compared to chewable tablets is because of the significantly easier manufacturing process.

How to take the Bluechew alternative
Because of the lack of a flavouring agent, it is recommended to swallow sildenafil whole, particularly if the tablet is film-coated. You can crush or break the tablets if you have swallowing difficulty.
One tablet should be taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. This will allow the medicine to be at its highest concentration in the blood when it is needed.
