Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contact us at HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you have ED problems. You are wondering if you could get ED medication like viagra without see a doctor. The answer is no. Viagra and other ED drugs need a written prescription from a doctor. There are several drug to drug interactions and certain diseases that may interfere or are contraindicated with taking these medications. You may have heard of getting viagra over the radio but these are not the true medication some are the precursor drugs an may not help.

So despite your reluctance to see a doctor I urge that you get seen and properly evaluated before starting medication.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
