I'm getting married soon, and I'm really worried about my first night because I don't want to let her down. I'm wondering if I can buy Viagra without a prescription here in India. If that's not possible, is there a way to get an online prescription for it?

In India, Viagra (sildenafil) is a prescription-only medication, so you cannot legally buy it without a prescription. It's important to consult a doctor to ensure it's safe for you, as they can assess your health and recommend appropriate treatment. If necessary, online consultations may offer prescriptions, but always prioritize your health and well-being.
