Firstly, what is a 'sex professional'?
Secondly, may I ask is the 20mg Tadalafil being prescribed on NHS prescription, as you meet the eligibility criteria? Also why is your GP advising you to bite off a quarter of a 20mg tablet rather than use a pill splitter?
So that readers of this thread can grasp the issue here I take the liberty of repeating below a separate post from Doc Holliday about getting Tadalafil from your GP.

‘ Ye, pretty much generally the case now I think. Private prescription option only’
When I first approached my GP practice for ED tablets earlier this year, I was called into the surgery for an appointment. It was with a trainee GP. I asked for Tadalafil 10mg but he said he would need to refer this to someone more senior. Eventually a prescription was issued for Sildenafil 50mg, but no clear explanation was given as to why they couldn’t prescribe Tadalafil 10mg.
Recently I made a specific online request to my GP practice for Tadalafil 10mg explaining again that I needed something as a ‘weekend pill’. I added that I had previously used Tadalafil 10mg via private prescription. Eventually this request was approved - but only for four tablets. Communication with the GP surgery is via an online platform and I had been hoping to understand why the GP practice is reluctant is prescribe Tadalafil as I’m keen to learn if there are health or other risks I need to be aware of.
I’m going to try and get a repeat prescription for Tadalafil 10mg and if that is successful, I then intend asking directly for Cialis 5mg. I have never tried using Cialis 5mg - even via private prescription. It will be interesting to see what response I get.
Incidentally, because I’m an older chap I don’t have to pay for my prescriptions - hence my efforts to now get all my ED tablets from my GP practice.
