Alliance Boots is making Pfizer’s Viagra easily available as an over-the-counter drug beginning on Feb. 14 — but that’s only in the UK.

Viagra Men aged between 30 and 65 suffering from erectile dysfunction will be able to buy four Viagra pills for 50 pounds ($97) without having to get a prescription from a doctor first. Instead, they will have a private consultation with a Boots pharmacist, when their medical history will be checked and measurements taken of their blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels. On a return visit patients will see a private doctor to ensure they are suitable for a further supply of pills. “By creating a service that is easily accessible on the high street we hope that we help many more men seek help for a very common condition,” said Boots Director of Healthcare Alex Gourlay.

Those lucky Brits. What about those pinoys that need an extra "jumpstart". Anyway there’s always something a quiapo vendor will brew for you, this very important day.
