Black Market
One may ask, âWhy would men order pills on the black market from another country when the pills are available through a simple prescription from the physician in the United States?â The answer is quite simple, physicians typically prescribe Viagra in very small quantities. On average the maximum amount of pills a man may be able to obtain at one time is around four pills per prescription. Most men will find that to be an insufficient supply for their lifestyle or sexual plans. The black market has a very enticing sells pitch of obtaining the number of pills one may desire at a convenient cost and no middle man, the physician.

Although the black market offers some really enticing marketing for Viagra, buyers must beware. Similar to all online shopping, the buyer has to do their research. Desperation normally calls for desperate measures, which is where we find men trolling multiple sites looking for a hot deal on pills. More and more there are men purchasing Viagra online and not obtaining the pill they are desiring. Some or even most websites present a legit Viagra product online but send the consumer counterfeit Viagra pills. ‘Buyer Beware’, far more important than getting gypped out of money the menâs health is at stake. Consuming pills that are counterfeit may have some serious consequences to one’s health, so it is always important to do your research.
