Eropid is an over-the-counter version of Sildenafil, used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men aged 18 years and over.
Each tablet contains 50mg of Sildenafil and is effective for up to 4–5 hours. Eropid is only available in the 50mg strength; if you require a different dose, a prescription from a doctor is needed.
While Eropid can be purchased without a prescription, it is important to use this medication only for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, following the instructions provided.
How Long Does Eropid Last?
Each Eropid 50mg tablet works for approximately 4–5 hours.
⚠️ Important: For Eropid to be effective, sexual stimulation is required. The medication helps improve blood flow to the penis, but it does not automatically cause an erection.

Eropid can be purchased over-the-counter from a UK-based, MHRA-registered online pharmacy, such as Reach Online Pharmacy.
No prescription is required, but you will complete a short online questionnaire to ensure the medication is safe and suitable for you.
