ONE of the UK's largest online pharmacies has confirmed it will stockpile up to 1 million Viagra tablets in preparation for a "no-deal" Brexit.
London-based Zava specialises in sexual health, and says it aims to carry up to four months of stock in case Britain is unable to reach agreement with the European Union on a range of issues prior to the Brexit deadline of 31 Mar 2019.
The active ingredient for Viagra sold in the UK is made in Ireland, but the tablets are made in France.
Zava ceo David Meinertz told The Mail on Sunday normally the firm keeps about two weeks of stock.
"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," he said.
