Forgotten Your ED Medication in France? Here Is What to Do

Forgetting erectile dysfunction medication when travelling is a common and entirely straightforward problem to resolve. I am Dr Simon Gordon, a British GP (MB ChB) registered with both the GMC and the Ordre des Médecins, and based in Valbonne on the Côte d’Azur. I offer discreet, confidential video consultations for English-speaking visitors anywhere in France and can email you a French prescription (ordonnance) the same day.

Unlike anonymous telemedicine platforms, you know exactly who you are speaking to: a named, locally-based British GP with a verifiable background and a longstanding practice in this region. These consultations are handled without fuss and without judgement.

How it Works

You book a video consultation using the link below. The consultation is matter-of-fact — I will confirm your usual medication and dosage, ask a few routine medical questions, and issue a French prescription by email. You take that prescription to any pharmacy — in Cannes, Nice, Antibes, Grasse, or anywhere in France — and your medication is dispensed immediately. You do not need to explain yourself at the pharmacy counter; simply show the ordonnance.

What I can prescribe

I can prescribe sildenafil (sold in France as Viagra or in generic form), tadalafil (Cialis), and other commonly used ED medications following a medical assessment. These medications are available in French pharmacies and are dispensed from a valid prescription without difficulty. Prescriptions are issued in accordance with French medical regulations.

Book a video consultation
The consultation is a brief, clinical conversation. I deal with these requests regularly and approach them without judgement. You confirm your usual medication and dosage, answer a few standard medical questions, and I issue your prescription. Most consultations of this kind take around ten minutes.
The consultation fee is €100. This covers the video consultation and the emailed prescription. There are no additional charges.
Cover for this type of consultation varies between policies. I can provide a receipt and a clinical summary which you can submit to your insurer. It is worth checking your policy beforehand if you are unsure.
All consultations are governed by the same standards of medical confidentiality that apply in the UK and France. I have no obligation to share any details of your consultation, and your information will not be passed to third parties.
Sildenafil and tadalafil are both available in French pharmacies, either under their brand names (Viagra, Cialis) or as generics. If your usual medication has a different trade name in France, I will note this on the prescription so there is no confusion at the pharmacy. The pharmacist will dispense your medication without difficulty.
