Anyone had a duff batch over Viagra from Dr Fox

[Gameboy121]

A question for the experts.  Anyone ever had a duff batch of Viagra from Dr Fox? I bought some 50mg bluies from them recently only to find that they have zero  and I mean, ZERO effect. Not even a tingle. I know that sidinifil has a good strong effect on me so am certain I have not suddenly become an ED sufferer since last taking one. That said, I will buy a pack from Boots to to be sure.

Any similar experiences ?

I always buy my viagra from boots or another well known pharmacy

[mr.bluesky]

A bit like those blue zeus pills you get from the vending machines or the herbal " blue" tablets you see advertised, they are a complete waste of money, may as well put a smartie in your mouth.

Similar thread 2-3 months ago, AIR the conclusion is there shouldn't be any difference albeit apart from a minimal batch to batch variation or within a batch.
Probably best to get some from another source to test out the theory and see whether it's the pills or you  Bear in mind though that there may be a psychological issue with your current ones if you already think that they "don't work", a bit like performance anxiety

Have you contacted Dr Fox about it? As the suppliers they should be your first port of call.   

If you don't suffer from ED why are you taking it? 

[Stevelondon]

Hi Gameboy.
I think a far better idea might have been to contact the supplier in the first instance and as you say. Buy from Boots and try those pills.
Then post the outcome.

[FiveKnuckles]

Gameboy, are you specifically talking Viagra/Viagra connect or generic sildenafil?

As DM and Stevie mentioned, get in touch with DrFox.  They could send you a different generic if it's sildenafil?

You have definitely missed your vocation 😂

I see the new poet laureate has admitted she once was a sex worker.
A case of going from bed to verse.

I’ll get me coat.

What branding is on the box?

[Tomcat]

Been getting my sildenafil from Dr Fox for yonks never had an issue.

[Gameboy121]

The Pills are generic sildinafil, not branded, and I take one as a backup to guarantee a solid hard-on  as I don't punt often and occasionally the anticipation/nerves can cause loss of wood during the punt. I didn't contact Dr Fox as doubt they would refund. I'll going to buy some Boots V , and cross check. Thanks

Well...........that sounds unlikely
Dr Fox are a reputable registered pharmacy and unlikely to supply unbranded drugs. The manufacturers name should be on both the box and the foil strip the pills are in.
As for not contacting them, that's just stupid. They'll have full records of whats been supplied to you, and telling them there's a problem would have allowed them to track the history of where it came from

[arthur]

The pills i got from Dr Fox say Mylan in the bottom corner, I think that would be the brand they usually sell?

It's a common cheaply available brand

[JustaPunter]

I don’t see why anybody would buy from the cheapest source

Why not buy from a reliable source like Superdrug or Lloyds Pharmacy?

You can get generics and it’s not going to be from some unknown source

But Dr Fox; Numan etc aren't unknown, it's not like buying from a random advert that appears in a pop up and you've never heard of them.

Superdrug and Lloyds won't actually make their tablets themselves anyway and could even get them from the same manufacturer

It is nothing to do with how well known they are. They all have to be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council

Come to think of it. I think op is on something. Dr fox sidenfil i find has not worked for me. But i got some viagraa connect and it works a treat.
Dr fox used to work

[boardyhell]

thought it was just my advancing years
so quite relieved

Viagra is intended to alleviate physical ED issues, not nerves.  It sounds like you have been taking them as a psychological prop, to overcome your nerves/anticipation issues.  Of course, a psychological prop will only work as long as you believe that it works - as soon as you start to doubt it, it will stop working.  Buying the Boots alternative may work, provided that you believe it works.

[JontyR]

The other thing is familiarity breeds contempt.

The first time, you read the leaflet and you follow the instructions. And hey presto it works.

After time you forget things, I know I did, I forgot about not expecting it to be effective after a fatty meal. And guess what, after a fatty meal it wasn't effective.

It can be an issue, if you are civvying it and maybe wondering about a jump after popping out for a bite.

You are probably right about it being a prop but the good news from the duff batch was that with a bad case of blue balls, I punted without any chemical assistance and whilst wood did get lost, I forgave myself, calmed down and  recovered it. Will save the bluey for those 15 minute more high-pressure encounters. Tried a second Dr.Fox product and it was fine.

[timmy1]

For the guys saying they have found  Sildenafil from Dr.Fox is less effective what branding is on the box?, Dr.Fox dont manufacture it as far as im aware

[Mackapaka]

A previous order from Dr Fox had a very limited expiry date left on the generic Viagra I ordered. They were out of date within a month or two. Generally pharmaceuticals become less effective over time ! so maybe check the best before date 

[boardyhell]

was told from a doctor drugs ( tablets) lose 2 per cent a year

[big-al93]

Unlikely to be that simple, different drugs will most likely degrade at different rates, different brands of the same drug might differ too, due to difference between the non active ingredients. Although 2% might be a decent rule of thumb

[DoggyD]

Been buying from Dr Fox my Sildenafil for about 6 months now due to ED & loving the results. They don't make every time a rocket but I notice the difference as I can do more for longer & generally less sensitive. Guess at some point they will have less effect & I'm on a high dose as it is. Never tried anything else to date so just my experience.

[Rothmans]

Glad someone brought this up as although I have not had a problem with Dr Fox, the last lot of generic Sidenafil, 100mg strength, have not been as effective as previous pills I have bought from them. These latest ones were white in colour, whereas previous batches were blue. I will go back to Viagra to see if it is me or the pills. Hopefully the pills, as otherwise my punting career is over, as I have had difficulty in performing using the white pills on my last two sexual encounters.

what are the manufacturers brandnames on the various boxes?

I was having a great time punting at the back end of last year then 3 punts in a row before Xmas where the pills didn't seem to work very well (Numan not Dr Fox)

However i'm not blaming the pills as they were the same batch from the same blister as i'd previously been using and these were 50mg tablets that i'd been cutting in half. The point being that one of these halves had given me no problem when i'd used the other half of it either before the 3 dodgy punts or my 1st punt back after Xmas 
Additionally the 1st dodgy punt was with a girl i'd punted twice before and had a great time with but on that day I just wasn't feeling it.

A 10 day break over Xmas and I was back on form 

So many things can affect performance including performance anxiety, i'm wondering if the darker; colder days mid winter combined with being tired and needing a break / rest from work at the end of the year was what it was, possibly also needed a break from punting too as i'd been seeing 2 girls a week for the previous couple of months

It's easy to put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5, I can see why it's something that needs considering however there's probably a whole load of other factors that it's more likely to be

Before generic versions were available, fakes were probably common. Now it’s so fucking cheap and they make such enormous profits even selling 100mg at a quid each that there’s no decent profit from selling fakes, especially established companies that want to stay in business. If you had a ‘dud’ it was probably a one-off psychological response, or rather the lack of stimulation (psychological or physical).
