Title: Can a seventeen year old legally be prescribed Viagra?
Post by: MambaMentality on February 04, 2021, 05:36:14 PM
I'm seventeen years old with Peyronie's disease and the bottom right of my penis doesn't get rigid as a result.  Therefore, I need Viagra/Cialis to ensure that my erections are as filled out as possible during sexual activity. Problem is, I've looked online and it says that Viagra is only suitable for those eighteen or older.  I turn eighteen in two months so it isn't that long of a wait, but I'd like to try to get it as soon as possible.  If a doctor diagnosed me with Peyronie's disease, could he legally prescribe me the Viagra or Cialis? Another thing to note: I have been prescribed Pentox by a urologist, which is a PDE-5 inhibitor.  So does that mean it is possible to be under eighteen and get Viagra / Cialis prescribed?

I am sure the law varies in every state.  The best way to find out is to ask your doctor.

Technically I think Pentox is a non-selective PDE inhibitor.  There are 10 different subtypes of phosphodiesterase and PDE5 is only one of those.  At least that is my understanding.
