[QUOTE=Lebruno;3234209]OMG. If it costed you $150 for just 6 tablets at 50% discounted price it is $50 per tablet at full price. I didn't realize the blue tablets were such a rip-off. I am just going to stay with the generic.[/QUOTE]Ya, they're a rip off. Generic sildenafil is the exact same thing, and I get those for about a buck a pill at Walgreens for 20 mg, that's $5 for 100 mg. Can't beat that.
[QUOTE=Banders;3227406]Got a script from dr for 90 20 mg tablets of sildenafil. Using goodrx at Winn Dixie in my area came in at $45.00. Comes out to. 50 a pill the equivalent of a 100 mg viagra for $2. 50. Can't beat that for price and safety.[/QUOTE]I appreciate the advice. I've used the Canadian Pharmacies before and still feel ripped off (and wait by the mailbox wondering if I'm going to see a package or a postal inspector. And don't really know what I'm getting). I took this advice and got my doc to write a script, then when my usual pharmacy tried to charge me $123 for 6 pills, used the Goodrx coupon and got it for about $8. The Sildenafil works well for me with no side effects. Thanks again.
FDA-approved Viagra is produced in three strengths: 100 mg, 50 mg, and 25 mg. Most doctors will start their patients on a 50 mg dose to be taken prior to sexual activity. For many men with mild ED, one 25 mg tablet works fine.
The maximum approved Viagra dose is 100 mg / day.
Viagra and Revatio are Pfizer brands. They are exactly the same compound, only produced in different strengths.
Revatio tablets are produced in a single strength: 20 mg.
Revatio is FDA-approved for the treatment of PAH (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension). Oddly, Revatio has lost its patent protection, but Viagra has not.
The generic name for Viagra and Revatio is Sildenafil. FDA-approved Sildenafil is available at attractive prices as 20 mg tablets.
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.

I went to a little pharmacy inside the docs office. It was 33.00 for 60 tablets. Not sure if I'll buy from India again but my favorite is cialis. Good to know what you're getting from a us pharmacy though. Went back and forth with the insurance and they ended up denying it for hypertension but I'm sure they know hat game and I didn't want to get my doc in trouble. They wanted him to file a formal appeal. I don't want anyone to stick their neck out for a boner. At least not my doc.
Finger.
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.

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.

Smart move! Let us know how the US-bought Sildenafil compares to the Sildenafil you bought from India.
And don't worry about your doctor. Unless you have PAH, he won't risk his license / reputation so you can save 33 bucks.
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.

After all, single women aren't avoiding pregnancy. They are having a good time, for the most part. Same for guys wanting E. D.

Told my doc I was having "trouble dosing with the 100 mg blue pill" , half was not enough, whole was too much and asked for generic sildenafil 20 mg. He glad wrote the rx, said insurance probably wouldn't cover it. Googled discounts. Printed off a coupon at Goodrx that got me 60 tabs for $33 at a pharmacy a few miles from my house. Showed a girl a good time last night about 45 minutes after taking three. Fuck Pfizer! They've already made too much money off this drug.

Last week I asked one of my drs. if he would write me a script for some generic V / Sildenafil. He said no problem.
Yesterday I got a call from Walgreens. Bad news. Blue Cross won't cover it. I ask her won't cover what? She says Viagra. I'm like no, that's not what I wanted. She tells me to call my dr back. Okay.
For the hell of it I asked her how much the cash price is. For the 6 V's its $395.00. 25 mg's. No f-n way!!
