If you've done any research on the internet about erectile dysfunction (ED) and how to get it treated, you might have heard about this little blue pill that gets touted as the best way to treat it and get your mojo back in the bedroom. In this article, you'll learn how Viagra treats ED, and where you can buy prescription Viagra (Sildenafil) in Singapore.
Viagra is a brand-name prescription oral medication pill used to treat male erectile dysfunction (ED).
Its main active ingredient is Sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. PDE5 inhibitors help slow the enzyme phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) from regulating the chemicals in your blood which can make it more difficult for you to get and maintain an erection. By inhibiting and slowing PDE5, it is able to relax the walls of the blood vessels and allows the blood to flow more readily to create and maintain an erection.
Yes.
In 1999, Viagra received its initial approval to be used as an erectile dysfunction treatment in Singapore. Classified as a prescription-only medication by the Health Science Authorities (HSA), this means that it cannot be purchased over-the-counter from pharmacies and can only be obtained from a licensed doctor.
Brand-name Viagra 100mg can cost up to S$89 (w/o GST) for a box of 4 tablets, while Sildenafil (a generic form of Viagra) can cost S$55 (w/o GST) for a box of 4 tablets.
Viagra is available as an oral tablet and comes in three dosages; 25mg, 50mg and 100mg.
Not a fan of swallowing?
Blue Peps™ is Noah's freshest new way to treat ED, available as a chewable mint.
Every Blue Pep™ contains the same active ingredient as its pill counterpart (100mg of Sildenafil), so you experience the same effects (effective in an hour and up to 4 hours of playtime) with a fresh, minty taste.
Unfortunately no.
In order to get Viagra or any ED medication locally, you will need to see a doctor for a prescription.
Your research might turn up sites that claim you can order a variety of ED medications online from them without a prescription. However, these sites (and the medications sold) have not been approved by the Health Science Authority (HSA) and are considered as illegal ways to obtain ED medication without a doctor's prescription.
In a 2014 article published by the Straits Times, HSA reported that 11 men in Singapore have died from consuming illegal sex enhancement drugs, with more than 300 men experiencing adverse reactions. Some men even required hospitalization due low blood sugar levels that caused them to fall into a coma.
HSA warns against purchasing illegal sex enhancement drugs from sites like these as they could potentially put you in harm's way. Sold without a prescription or a doctor's supervision, these illicit ED medications are often made in conditions that have very little oversight and quality control. As a result, these illicit ED drugs could contain too little of the active ingredient to make them effective, or contain too much that they cause harmful side effects. They might even contain substances that have been banned for being too dangerous to consume.
There are several ways you can get a prescription for ED medication: you can get it either through the local GP clinic, through a public urologist, or through a private urologist.
But all of them require you to physically head down to a clinic and wait in long lines before even speaking to a doctor about your...condition. Which can be awkward and embarrassing.
However, that shouldn't stop you from getting treatment for your ED. With Noah, a zero-judgment digital health clinic for men, you can get the ED treatment you need from the comfort of home. You won't have to worry about the legitimacy or safety of the ED medications provided as Noah is recognized by the Ministry of Health as a direct telemedicine service provider.
Getting started couldn't be simpler - just visit our site, answer an online medical evaluation and see a licensed doctor; all without having to leave your home (or even moving from your couch or bed). If prescribed, your ED medication will be discreetly delivered right to your door within 4 hours at no additional cost.
While it can be an embarrassing topic to broach, you shouldn't feel alone in your struggles with ED. There are several ED treatments available locally that can help you overcome ED safely and effectively. Once you get the treatment you need, it won't be hard to get hard anymore.

Unfortunately no.
We currently do not accept walk-in appointments and there will be no doctors available at the office to carry out the consultation.
This location is specifically designated as a pick-up point for prescription medication and purchased items.
Yes, so long as the online platform you are considering is recognized by the Ministry of Health as a direct telemedicine service provider and you have been prescribed Viagra by a licensed doctor.
You should avoid sites or listings on e-commerce platforms that claim you can order Viagra or other ED medications online from them without a prescription and at low costs. These websites (and the medications on sale) lack the approval from the Health Science Authority (HSA) and are considered illicit sources to acquire ED medication without a doctor's prescription.
If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction, it is advisable that you consult a doctor.
As a prescription-only medication in Singapore, this unfortunately means that your partner will not be able to buy or pick up Viagra on your behalf. You will still need to see a licensed doctor and have them prescribe it to you.
If you're looking for a convenient and confidential way to get Viagra without having to leave your house, consider Noah. It's as easy as visiting our site, answering a short medical evaluation online and speaking to a licensed doctor over video call. If your doctor prescribes you Viagra, your medication will be discreetly delivered to your doorstep within 4 hours.
While there is an in-house pharmacy located in the famous Mustafa Centre, you unfortunately won't be able to swing by and pick up Viagra just like that. You will still need a prescription from a licensed doctor to obtain your medication.
It also goes without saying that buying Viagra and other ED medications that are openly sold in alleyways at Geylang is probably not a good idea.
As mentioned previously, many of these so-called sex enhancement drugs that promise stronger erections or a larger 'equipment' could be fake, contain dangerous amounts of the active ingredient, or even contain banned substances altogether.
