It is actually very easy to buy them (at least in Jakarta or Bali), as well as some other "magic" pills like Levitra or Hammer of Thor. With 70% of Indonesian males who are smokers, it's not surprising that there is a lot of demand here for products that combat impotence.
In this article, I will give you some tips on where to find them, how to avoid the fake ones, and how much they cost.
Main differences between Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra
Each man will have a different reaction to each of these drugs. That's why it can be a good idea to try all of them at different times to see which one is the best for you.
Generally speaking, though, these are the main characteristics of each:
Viagra:
Typically, you'll need a 50mg dose to get a reaction. You can take it 1 hour before needed and it lasts about 4-8 hours. You will probably get a slight headache 30 minutes after taking it.
Cialis:
Cialis is generally more effective, even with a small dose of 10mg (the 20mg tablet can be split in half). You can take it 1 hour before needed and, unlike Viagra, it may last for up to 48 hours. There are both advantages and inconvenient to it as you can imagine.
Levitra
Levitra is more similar to Viagra (short time effects), with one major difference: It is not affected by alcohol or food. If you are partying, this is the drug to take as it can still work even if you get drunk.
Note: For each of these drugs, don't expect an automatic erection. You still need arousal and stimulation to get it. You simply become more sensitive, a bit as if you were 15 years old again.
Buying authentic Viagra or Cialis with a doctor's prescription
Ideally, you should get a doctor's prescription, either in your home country or in Indonesia, before you buy those drugs. I understand that it's embarrassing to talk about your sex life to a stranger, but it only takes a few hours of your time.
Once with a prescription, not only will you be able to purchase Viagra and Cialis safely, you will also be able to travel with it without having to worry about customs (especially at US borders).
Buying authentic Viagra or Cialis in Indonesia with a prescription couldn't be easier. There are 2 ways:
Buy from an online app
You can get Viagra, Cialis and Levitra delivered to your door in less than an hour if you use some dedicated apps.
The two most recommended are the Century Apotik App (download for Itunes or Android) and the HaloDoc App (download for Itunes or Android). If you don't speak Indonesian, you can just use HaloDoc as it is the only one with an English translation.
From these apps, you can then upload your doctor's prescription, then simply make a search and order what you need. Here is how it looks like:
On HaloDoc:
 |
| Upload your doctor's prescription on the main screen |
 |
| Type the name of the product you are looking for and buy |
On Century App:
 |
| Search for your product first, then upload your prescription |
The prices on these apps are approximately the following (Halodoc is a bit more expensive):
Viagra 100mg: IDR153,000 per tablet
Viagra 50mg: IDR118,000 per tablet
Cialis 20mg: IDR225,000 per tablet
Cialis 10mg: IDR125,000 per tablet
Levitra 20mg: IDR 171,000 per tablet
Levitra 5mg: IDR147,000 per tablet
Once you receive the product, do make sure it looks authentic (it should be but you can never be sure in Indonesia). A fake pill is usually easy to spot as it will have a rougher texture, some color alteration, and a sloppy print. You can check these websites for more information:

Buy from a pharmacy
I recommend that you stick to reputable pharmacy chains such as Century or Guardian. They are present everywhere in Indonesia so it is rather easy to find them.
They should normally ask for a doctor's prescription, but not always.
Buying Viagra or Cialis without a doctor's prescription
Without a prescription, your chances of buying real Viagra or real Cialis diminish greatly.
As I mentioned above, many reputable pharmacies might accept to sell it to you even without a prescription. This is your best bet but you may have to try a few stores before finding one. Again, stick to Guardian or Century pharmacies.
If you can't find one that does, you can try local, non-branded pharmacies, especially those located in "red light" neighborhoods such as Mangga Besar, Lokasari, Glodok or Kota Tua. Spend time inspecting the pills and the packaging to make sure it is authentic.
You can also take even more risks and buy them in the equivalent of Indonesian sex shops. They are present everywhere and usually discreet. Typically, they will be advertised with a big sign that says "Obat Kuat" (drugs to make you strong) or "Pil Biru" (blue pill), followed by a phone number. You can either go there or place an order. They might also sell sex toys, penis enlargement drugs, contraceptive, etc.
Viagra and Cialis in those shops are normally cheaper (as low as IDR15,000), but they are fake 100% of the time. It might work sometimes but you take the risk of wasting a lot of money if it doesn't.
The same shops are usually present online, particularly on Instagram. You can find specific ones using hashtags. For instance:
For Viagra in Jakarta: #viagrajakarta
For Viagra in Bali: #viagrabali
For ED drugs in general in Indonesia: #obatkuat
