Consult your doctor before using Viagra or any erectile dysfunction medication. They can assess your health and determine the appropriate treatment.
Legality and Obtaining a Prescription
Viagra is legal in Louisiana with a valid prescription. You must obtain this from a licensed healthcare provider. They’ll discuss your medical history and any potential risks or interactions with other medications.
- Find a doctor: Use online directories or ask your primary care physician for referrals to urologists or specialists who treat erectile dysfunction.

Pharmacy options: Once you have a prescription, you can fill it at most pharmacies in Louisiana. Check with your insurance provider for coverage.
Cost and Insurance Coverage
