How can you get levitra on the NHS?
Getting levitra from your GP – if you would like a prescription of levitra through the NHS, you can follow these steps:
- Make an appointment with your GP.
- Attend the consultation, where your GP will assess whether levitra is suitable and safe for you. Your GP will then write a prescription for levitra. Depending on whether you are eligible for levitra on the NHS, your GP will either write a private prescription or an NHS prescription.
- Take your prescription to a pharmacy. If they have the medication available, you should receive your supply of levitra on the same day. If they do not have it in stock, they will inform you of when your prescription is likely to become available.
Getting a private prescription – this means that the trade price of the medicine is paid for fully by you, plus any charge that the pharmacy adds to supply this medicine. This is the common prescription you will get if you aren’t eligible for an NHS prescription
Getting an NHS prescription – a prescription on the NHS means that you pay a single prescription charge (currently £8.60) for each item unless you are exempt from these charges. You are eligible for an NHS prescription of levitra if you have been diagnosed with any of these specific medical conditions:
- Diabetes
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Poliomyelitis
- Prostate cancer
- Severe pelvic injury
- Single gene neurological disorder
- Spina bifida
- Spinal cord injury
- Treatment for renal failure by renal dialysis
- Prostatectomy
- Radical pelvic surgery
- Renal failure treated by transplant
Also, if erectile dysfunction (ED) is judged to cause you considerable distress, you could also qualify for an NHS prescription of levitra. However, for this you need to be seen and assessed by a spelevitrat.
If you do not have any of the conditions listed above, this means that you will have to get a private prescription of levitra. Your GP is still able to give you a prescription, but it means that you will have to pay for the full amount rather than the prescription charge only.
Is the NHS the best place to get levitra?
Overall, the NHS is not necessarily the best place to get levitra treatment. There are a few factors to consider when deciding where to get levitra treatment from.
Is it the cheapest? – yes, but not if you are getting a private prescription. If you get an NHS prescription then NHS treatment can be the cheapest. But for most people who only qualify for a private prescription it’s better to check whether you could save money paying for treatment with a different service.
You can also get generic vardenafil from other providers which is a cheaper version of branded levitra.
I Is it the most convenient? – it’s unlikely to be. Getting levitra on the NHS can be a hassle because you have to book in at your GP surgery and then have an assessment with yourGP, followed by getting your prescription medication from the pharmacy.
If you choose to get your levitra treatment from an online doctor service, you will just require a quick assessment and if approved the medication will be delivered to your door or ready to collect from a local pharmacy.
Is it the safest? – it’s not necessarily safer than your other options. Any service that is properly certified and regulated should operate to the same standards as the NHS.
Unfortunately, not all organisations that legitimately sell levitra are regulated the same way and operate to the same standards. This means that the safety of the medicine cannot always be guaranteed.
Is it the most discreet? – not necessarily. GPs are bound by confidentiality, which means that your consultations about ED stay private. However, you still have you share your experiences of erectile dysfunction with your GP and take time out to visit them. If you order online you can avoid the face-to-face consultation with your GP, and in regulated online spaces the information still remains confidential.
Do you get the most choice? – no, your GP is restricted in what they can recommend. Getting levitra elsewhere means you could get is as part of trial pack to compare with other treatments, or you could get a different type of treatment called levitra Daily that you take once a day, instead of before sex.

Does the NHS recommend levitra treatment?
Not as a first choice treatment – levitra is not the first line treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) on the NHS.
What does the NHS recommend? – the first line treatment for ED in the NHS is sildenafil, the generic (unbranded) form of Viagra. Both levitra and Sildenafil come from a family of medicines called the PDE-5 inhibitors. Both medications from this class are as effective as each other.
Does the NHS approve of levitra? – the NHS does approve of treatment with levitra. This means that levitra meets all of the criteria that the NHS sets out for treatment to be available. This is the reason why you could get a private prescription for levitra from your GP.
How does levitra compare to the NHS's first choice? – levitra has the advantage of being much longer-lasting than other PDE-5 inhibitors, including Sildenafil. People have reported getting the effects of levitra a full day and a half after taking it. For this reason, levitra is a good choice of treatment if you would prefer not to plan sex in advance. levitra is also the only treatment that you can take daily instead of before sex.
Where else can you get levitra?
You can get your prescription using approved online doctor service such as ours. To get your supply from our online consultation services, you can follow these steps:
- Fill in a questionnaire, which should take a few minutes. The questionnaire may ask you questions about the conditions you have been diagnosed with and the medications that you take now. This is to make sure that erectile dysfunction treatment with PDE5-inhibitors is right for you
- Make a request for your preferred medication
- A doctor will review your questionnaire and, if you are eligible for levitra they will approve your order
- Your medication can be posted to you with free delivery, or you can choose to pick it up from a local Superdrug pharmacy
What are the pros? – the advantages of using our online consultation service is that you can fill in the questionnaire at your own convenience, rather than making an appointment to see a GP. Also, your medicine will be sent to your home address so that you do not have to take your prescription to the pharmacy to get your medication.
Can you get it without an assessment or prescription? – we do not recommend trying to buy levitra without a prescription. This is because many suppliers are not regulated to the same standards as the suppliers used by the NHS and our online consultation services. For this reason, the safety and effectiveness of the levitra that you get without a prescription cannot be guaranteed.
What other treatments does the NHS offer?
The NHS can offer advice for improving your erectile dysfunction generally – the NHS recommends lifestyle changes and treating any underlying medical condition that may be causing the erectile dysfunction (ED) as the first step to treatment. As part of your treatment, your GP can check the medications that you are on now to see if any of them has the side effect of ED.
The NHS can offer other PDE5-inhibitors like levitra – the NHS offers prescriptions of levitra and other PDE-5 inhibitors (the family of medicines which levitra is part of), including:
Alternatives to PDE5-inhibitors – if these don’t work, the NHS can offer alternative treatments, such as:
