The figure is UP six per cent on the previous year with a total of 1.98 million men prescribed Viagra and rival brands, Such as Cialis & Levitra costing the NHS £35m a year.
Lib Dem health spokeswoman Sandra Gidley revealed the figures. She said: “No one would begrudge men the benefit of anti-impotence drugs but they shouldn’t be seen as a cure
“Impotence is often a symptom of a different problem, such as diabetes.”
One in 10 British men is believed to suffer a form of erectile dysfunction.
Most still buy Viagra on the internet because they are too embarrassed to see their own doctors.
