Regarding the legality of "Viagra" (Sildenafil) in Hong Kong

1. Legal Status
2. According to Hong Kong’s Pharmacy and Poisons Ordinance, "Viagra" (main ingredient being Sildenafil) is classified as a Part 3 poison (Prescription Drug), meaning it can only be legally purchased with a prescription issued by a registered doctor.

3. All legitimate pharmacies or medical institutions in Hong Kong must verify the prescription and record the purchaser's information to ensure compliance with legal requirements when selling such drugs.

4. Purchase Channels

5. Legal Pathways: You need to consult with a registered Hong Kong doctor to obtain a prescription, then purchase at a licensed pharmacy. Some large chain pharmacies (such as Mannings, Watsons Pharmacy) or hospital pharmacies may offer this service.

6. Illegal Risks: Street vendors, unlicensed pharmacies, or online non-standard channels may sell unverified medications, posing risks of counterfeit drugs or safety hazards. Such pathways should be avoided.

7. Precautions for Bringing Viagra into Hong Kong

8. If carrying "Viagra" from other regions into Hong Kong, ensure:
   • The medication is for personal reasonable self-use quantities (usually no more than 3 months' supply).
   • Keep the original packaging and doctor’s prescription (it is recommended to translate it into English or Chinese for inspection purposes).

9. Failure to declare or over-carrying may result in customs investigation, and severe cases may involve legal liabilities.

10. Price Reference

11. In Hong Kong’s legitimate pharmacies, the price of "Viagra" (using Pfizer's original drug as an example) is approximately HKD 100-150 per tablet (prices may vary slightly depending on specifications and pharmacy pricing).

15. Some public hospitals or private clinics offer rapid consultation services for international travelers, requiring identity proof and medical history records (if applicable).
