Default Taking Viagra to USA

I'll be going over to the US soon, what are the legal implications of me taking viagra over with me (only a few tablets). I don't medically need them, therefore.. I don't have a prescription for them.

I believe it's not illegal for me to possess them but just wondering what customs may think?

I'm not looking for "it's not worth it" etc....

Just want to know the legal facts if anyone has any idea.

Customs are unlikely to be soft on you though.

Don't smuggle them through in your throat - you could end up with a stiff neck!!
Sorry!

As I understand it, other than the interesting side affect, the primary role of Viagra is that it's used as a Beta-blocker heart drug. So if you don't have a medical need for them, are you telling us you don't have a heart condition?

I think you will find it very hard to get them through customs without a valid reason

Why don't you just buy some when you get there?

It's not worth getting caught for Viagra.

Cialis on the other hand......

Hello

Small quantities of Viagra should not be a problem. Just put them in a bag in with your shaving gear and 99% chance they wont even look.

Agreed, US Customs and Immigration are the most humourless hard-nosed bunch you will ever find and not to be messed with!

Is Viagra a prescription only drug in the States or can it be bought over the counter without one?

Reminded me of that old joke when Bush and Gore were slugging it out. The Japanese Gov't wanted to help out and sent 5 tonnes of Viagra "To help with elections" te-he.

Are you saying he'll find it very hard if he takes them?

Hello

It's a prescription only drug, BUT so are the codeine tablets that I went to America with a few days ago. I wasn't stopped anyway, and if I had been it is for personal use and not illegal (like Viagra).

"Sildenafil (Viagra) is unscheduled in the United States, but is available by prescription only. This means that sales and distribution are allowed only by those with a license and only to those with a prescription (according to FDA regulations). Possession is not illegal even without a prescription."

Basically, don't go selling it.
