Viagra Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Generic Version of Viagra Available?
Short Answer: No, Viagra is still "under patent" and "Generic Viagra" is illegal, unsafe, and not FDA-approved. These medications typically are made overseas in countries such as India or China and are illegally shipped into the U.S. Do not take or order “Generic Viagra”, as these pills are not safe to consume.
Long Answer: Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is manufactured by Pfizer and has been trademarked since 1996. Viagra was approved for the use of erectile dysfunction by the FDA on March 27, 1998, becoming the first pill approved to treat ED in the United States. Pfizer owns the exclusive patent rights to manufacture and market Viagra.
“Generic Viagra” is a copycat pill typically manufactured in countries such as India and China and are illegally shipped into the U.S. it is illegal for anyone in a foreign country, even a pharmaceutical company, to ship prescription drugs to the United States that have not been FDA approved. It may be a drug that is legally sold in that country, but that doesn’t matter, it cannot be shipped to and/or sold in the United States.
Because the FDA has not approved a drug that is shipped from a foreign country, there is a danger that you will not receive what you think you are getting. A foreign company may say they are shipping Viagra to you. But, there is the chance that what they call Viagra is nothing close to Viagra.
It may be a drug designed to treat erectile dysfunction, but it may be totally different, and therefore, have completely different side effects, or work entirely different than Viagra does. This can cause the person taking the drug to suffer serious health problems.
