Revatio - A generic form of sildenafil citrate
[QUOTE=JuanPablo;3178586]Thanks for this idea. I Went and got an Rx for the same today.
Found a coupon on [URL]Goodrx.com[/URL] for $22.00 at Walgreens for 20 pills. Doc said this is a good idea. Told him I read about it on a men's health forum.[/QUOTE]Clicked on a link through GoodRX and see one can get 20 mg of Sildenafil in generic form for 80-cents per pill down to 61-cents per tablet.
Link is here:

Key points:
1) Must have a prescription from a Doc to order.
2) Prescription must be for the name of the Genetic drug: [B]Revatio[/B] or for generic 20 mg sildenafil citrate.
Point is that this sildenafil citrate is designed or marketed to treat high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and thus one is buying for an "off label" use. So the people selling it are doing a nod & a wink, since selling it for ED is "off lablel" use. That is why one CAN NOT mention Viagra when ordering and must use the name of the generic or the chemical name.
But hey, a legal way to buy inexpensive ED drugs in the USA, with the safety of FDA oversight on the manufacturing.
Hoping on the Revatio Train
Tired of having to keep switching to different OTC supplements so I decided to ask my doc to change my Viagra for a Sildenafil prescription and using GoodRx I just filled a 90 pill prescription for $43. I usually use a half of a 100 mg tablet so I'm going to start with 2 of the Sildenafil and see how that works.
The OTC stuff has worked well for me. I like the fact that the good ones will last 3-4 days it just sucks when the FDA catches up and then I have to move on to testing other ones.
I'm hoping the generic V works great.
Insurance coverage for ED
[QUOTE=FngrBngr;3276482]On a side note I never understood why they can get away with charging so much for a boner. It's bullshit that the insurance can get away with not covering it. They cover anti depresants. They cover birth control. Whats wrong with making a guy happy with getting off. I thought the men rule the world? I guess not when it comes to getting off.[/QUOTE]Just a side note to your side note:
For a few years, Medicare reimbursed for (vacuum) penis pumps. However, a year or two ago, they dropped coverage for these devices (perhaps after realizing why men were buying them). Their stated reason, ED treatments are not covered.
Availability of FDA-approved Generic Viagra: December 11,2017
[QUOTE=CireKnight;3302057]OK here my problem, I want to try Revatio, but my doctor is old school and will no prescribe it for me. I don't know any other Dr. S.
Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]Pfizer's patent protecting Viagra from generic competition expires in April 2020, but (per agreement with Pfizer) Teva Pharmaceuticals will be allowed to launch its generic version in the US on December 11,2017.
Confused Here. Need Some Help.
I told my Dr. What happened with the Pfizer V's and asked him again to write me for Sildeafil 20's. Walgreens filled it and yesterday I picked up 30-20's Sildenafil's. My cost $9.03. I was smiling the whole way home. But when I got home and was reading the paperwork I noticed it said my Insurance saved me $527.86. Retail price was $538.89! That averages out to $17.89 a pill. Multiply 5 (20's) x $17.89 to equal 100 mg's, that comes out to $89.45. That's even more than Brand Pfizer 100's.
So my question is: Is generic Sildenafil the same product or different than Revatio? Cause that's what I thought I was requesting. But it must be different somehow because it's well talked about here that Revatio is very affordable at a buck or less a pill.
I'm glad my ins. Covered it but something seems wrong here. And why did they cover Sildenafil but not Pfizer V.
These Sildenafils are tiny white pills. Anyone know what Revatio's look like?
Can someone clue me in.
Online pharms that accept gift cards
I used to order from JCM using a Vanilla prepaid gift card, and then they went to Bitcoin. Any recommendations for online pharms that accept visa gift cards?
