One million Viagra pills are being hoarded in preparation for a hard Brexit
Drugs firms are fearing medical supply chain chaos between the EU and Britain, if we get No Deal or a Hard Brexit
A MILLION Viagra pills are being hoarded for a hard Brexit.
There are fears stocks could run out if we are shafted over a trade deal with the EU.
But in a bid to keep Brits bonking even if political negotiations go limp, one of the country’s biggest online pharmacies is building up an emergency supply.
Zava — whose customers include Superdrug — normally has around two weeks’ worth of Viagra in stock at any one time.
But the firm is amassing one million extra pills — which could last four months.
Chief exec David Meinertz said: “We’ve gone through the different medicines we typically prescribe in volumes and looked at various ways of sourcing them to make sure that if it’s really coming to a No Deal or a Hard Brexit we’re prepared.
“Whatever happens we need to make sure we can care for the patients who come to us.”
