Shelf life and other factors
[QUOTE=Doctor D; 1350483]I bought a large quantity of generic viagra from All Day Chemist and am concerned that after 1. 5 years, perhaps more, the pills are past their shelf life.
(Actually, what I'm concerned about is that _I_ am getting old, not the viagra!) When I first started taking V it worked almost spontaneously; now I can tell I've taken it, by some flushing in the face, but it really does not have the effect on ED that it once did. I manage fine, in the end, but I'm wondering about the generic brand and I'm concerned about shelf life.
I did a couple of searches on this forum but have not come up with any solid answers, though I see others share my concern.
I welcome whatever information you might have.[/QUOTE]Doctor D,
As Gigabyte40 said, we do not know the quality of the medicines from ADC. And from what I also read in this Forum, the results vary from shipment to shipment. A key factor in the shelf life of drugs is the environment (temperature, humidity and light) in which they are stored.
If you always take Viagra on an empty stomach and avoid high-fat foods, the remaining factor is the condition of your physical and mental health. Some diseases do not have noticeable symptoms, so you might want to get a check-up to rule out undetected medical problems.
Here is what Pfizer has to say about getting results from Viagra:

I often take Viagra the day before I need it, and again the next day, an hour before the "event". I find the results on the second day are better than those achieved on the first day. That is just my personal experience, YMMV.
Good luck!
