1. Which of the following customers would NOT be suitable for VIAGRA CONNECT?

   • Tony is 20 and occasionally has erection problems. He has been really stressed at work and thinks that could be a factor. He doesn't take other medication

     IncorrectTony could be suitable for supply

   • Marcus is in his mid-40s and usually has tadalafil 10mg on prescription. He takes occasional NSAIDs and occasionally uses a reliever inhaler for his asthma, but is fit enough to climb a couple of flights of stairs without getting breathless

     CorrectUse of other medicines for erectile dysfunction (ED) means that OTC supply is not an option

   • Sunil has used sildenafil 50mg in the past, a couple of years ago. He has recently started a new relationship. He had a stroke 9 months ago and takes clopidogrel. His blood pressure is fine and he sees his GP regularly for check-ups

     IncorrectSunil could be suitable for supply; the stroke was more than 6 months ago and he took the same strength of sildenafil previously

   • Adam is 35 and wants to use VIAGRA CONNECT. He only occasionally finds that he is unable to get an erection - more often if with a new partner. He takes propranolol to prevent migraines, but no other medicines apart from occasional painkillers

     IncorrectAdam could be suitable for supply, beta-blockers are not contra-indicated; however, you might want to make him aware that headaches are a common side effect

2. Mr Agwar (62) is enquiring about purchasing VIAGRA CONNECT. As you are discussing his cardiovascular health, he mentions that although he doesn't get breathless, he is aware that he doesn't exercise enough and his diet isn't great. He knows he could do with losing a few pounds. He hasn't been to see his GP for years and is glad that he can now purchase VIAGRA CONNECT over the counter.
