In the United Kingdom, demand for Viagra and other erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs increased to nearly 40% in the last eight weeks before the country cut ties with Brussels.

Britons splashed on the blue pills over fears that the drug would be in short supply in 2021 after the nation split with the EU after a drawn-out exit.

However, EveAdam, an online healthcare provider, said men do not face stiff competition to get hold of stocks.

EveAdam, an online pharmacy in the U.K., offers consultations with doctors and pharmacy prescribers, and treatments on subscription.

Dr. Daniel Atkinson of EveAdam said, “There’s no need to worry about a shortage of ED drugs such as Viagra. There aren’t any supply problems at the moment with ED drugs.”

“So if you are affected by ED and are looking for treatment, Brexit will not hinder you in getting the help you need,” he added.

EveAdam said demand for the little blue pill rose by a staggering 482% in the aftermath of the 2016 referendum.

The drug, which is available over the counter in the U.K. since 2018, is produced in Ringaskiddy, County Cork, Ireland. It is now nicknamed “Viagra Falls.”

In 2018, nearly one million pills were stockpiled in the U.K. amid concerns over a hard Brexit.

People have been expressing worries over trade problems that would arise when the U.K. left the EU.

Hurricane Modular Commerce Ltd., a company that simplifies cross-border eCommerce and keeps online retailers compliant, said early trade difficulties are “just the tip of the iceberg” as businesses adjust to new demands after Brexit. The article was published in the U.K. news outlet Daily Star.
