How much does Viagra Connect cost?
Viagra Connect is one product in one strength, so the tablet is the same wherever you buy it. What changes is the pack price, any offers running at the time and what you pay for delivery.
| Provider | 4 tablets | 8 tablets | Standard delivery | 4 tablets, delivered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DoktorABC | £25 | £40 | Free | £25 |
| Boots | £22.99 | £38.99 | £3.95, free on orders of £25 or more | £26.94 |
| Superdrug | £19.99 | £38.50 | Free | £19.99 |
| LloydsPharmacy | £21.95 | £37.99 | Free | £21.95 |
| Asda | £19.50 | £34.50 | Free | £19.50 |
Prices and delivery charges checked 14 October 2026 on each provider's website. Prices and offers change often, so it's worth checking the provider's own page before you buy.
If cost is the main factor, generic sildenafil on prescription costs less per tablet than Viagra Connect, and a UK-registered prescriber can tell you whether it suits you.
How do you work out the cost per tablet?
Divide the pack price by the number of tablets, then add any delivery charge you're paying.
- 4 tablets from DoktorABC: £25 ÷ 4 = £6.25 per tablet
- 8 tablets from DoktorABC: £40 ÷ 8 = £5.00 per tablet
That's £1.25 less per tablet for the larger pack. Delivery can change the picture, though. Boots charges £3.95 for standard delivery on orders under £25, so a 4-pack at £22.99 comes to £26.94, or £6.74 per tablet.
What affects the price?
A branded pharmacy medicine
The MHRA reclassified Viagra Connect from a prescription-only medicine to a pharmacy medicine in 2017, which means you can buy it after a pharmacist's assessment rather than with a prescription. It's a branded product from a single manufacturer, Viatris, according to its Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).
Pack size
The SmPC lists packs of 2, 4 or 8 tablets, and some pharmacies also sell larger quantities such as 12 or 16 tablets. Bigger packs tend to cost less per tablet.
Consultation or service fee
An assessment is part of buying Viagra Connect, whether that's a conversation with a pharmacist or an online questionnaire. None of the providers in the table above listed a separate consultation fee, but it's worth checking before you pay.
Delivery
Standard delivery is free at most of the providers checked, but faster options can add to the cost. Superdrug charges £3.99 for express delivery and LloydsPharmacy £4.95 for next-day delivery.
How does Viagra Connect compare with generic sildenafil and Viagra?
All three contain sildenafil, the active ingredient the NHS describes as mainly used to treat erection problems. The main differences are strength, price and whether you need a prescription.
| Viagra Connect | Generic sildenafil | Branded Viagra | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per tablet at DoktorABC | £5.00 to £6.25 | £1.90 to £4.40 | £14.25 to £20.79 |
| Strengths | 50mg | 25mg, 50mg, 100mg | 25mg, 50mg, 100mg |
| Prescription needed | No, sold after a pharmacist's assessment | Yes | Yes |
| Available on the NHS | No | Yes | Only in certain circumstances |
DoktorABC prices checked 14 October 2026. Cost per tablet is each pack price divided by its number of tablets, to the nearest penny.
Generic sildenafil and branded Viagra come in more strengths than Viagra Connect. A UK-registered prescriber decides whether either is suitable for you and at what dose.
Can you get Viagra Connect on the NHS?
No. Viagra Connect is bought privately from a pharmacy. Generic sildenafil is different: NHS prescribing guidance states there are no restrictions on the quantity or criteria for prescribing it, while branded Viagra can be prescribed on the NHS only in certain circumstances.
If you're prescribed generic sildenafil on the NHS, what you pay depends on where you live.
| Where you live | What you pay |
|---|---|
| England | £9.90 per item, unless you qualify for free prescriptions |
| Scotland | Free |
| Wales | Free |
| Northern Ireland | Free |
Good to know
In England, a prescription prepayment certificate may work out cheaper if you need regular prescriptions, according to the NHS.
How can you save safely?
- Buy a larger pack if you use Viagra Connect regularly
- Add delivery to the pack price before comparing providers
- Ask a prescriber about generic sildenafil, which costs less per tablet but needs a prescription
- Check whether you qualify for free NHS prescriptions in England
Warning!
The MHRA describes erectile dysfunction medicines as "a popular target for criminals selling unlicensed and counterfeit medicines." Be wary of:
- Prices far below the ranges in this guide
- Sellers who don't ask about your health or other medicines
- Any website offering sildenafil other than Viagra Connect without a prescription
- Pharmacies you can't find on the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) register
The Viagra Connect SmPC is clear that it must not be taken with nitrates or nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite, which is one reason a proper assessment matters.
Final thoughts
At the major UK pharmacies checked in October 2026, Viagra Connect cost £19.50 to £22.99 for 4 tablets and £34.50 to £38.50 for 8 tablets. From DoktorABC, it costs £25 or £40 with free delivery. Pack size and delivery make the biggest difference to what you pay per tablet, and generic sildenafil on prescription is the lower-cost route if a prescriber agrees it suits you. DoktorABC connects UK patients with UK-registered prescribers who can review which option is right for you.
