Under the scheme, men aged between 30 and 65 who want the impotence-fighting drug will have a one-hour consultation with a specially trained pharmacist. The pharmacist will take their medical history and check blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels.

If no red flags are raised, the men can buy four Viagra pills for $97. For a refill, men will have to see a doctor for a medical examination.
