German Government Wants Sildenafil, Tadalafil OTC

Germany's Ministry of Health surprised all those present at a recent BAH meeting by announcing it would like to see erectile dysfunction drugs like sildenafil and tadalafil available OTC. Such a move, however, would put the government at odds with drug regulator BfArM's Expert Committee for Prescription, which recently rejected an application for the Rx-to-OTC switch of sildenafil.
