Viagra is the most common brand name of a medication known by the generic name of Sildenafil that is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to get and maintain an erection.It was the first oral medication for that condition and was invented by accident by scientists at the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. They were originally attempting to create a medication that would treat high blood pressure and angina. However, upon clinical testing it was discovered that the drug was not entirely appropriate for the treatment of heart issues but many patients were reporting a side effect of delayed erections. They then began researching the possibility of using the drug for sexual health purposes. After clinical testing as an erectile dysfunction drug the medication was approved for sale in South Africa in 1998; nine months after the United States had approved it for the same purpose.
Although it is primarily used as a treatment for sexual dysfunction it can also be used for the treatment of high blood pressure at much smaller doses. Soon after being legalized the sale of the drug skyrocketed and has yet to stop climbing. It is still the number one, most sold erectile dysfunction drug in the country with numbers reaching into the hundreds of billions of pills sold. Although there are now many different drugs to help men with their sexual health Viagra continues to be the most popular and most trusted treatment. It is also very reasonably priced. Although it costs a bit less in the United states due to the fact that Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, the company that originally invented the drug, is based there; the price here in South Africa is far from exorbitant. The maximum dose for the treatment of ED is 100mg. A 100mg dose can be purchased for 3-10 dollars per pill. That does not include generic versions of the drug that can be obtained for a much lower price.

Because of the incredible and somewhat unexpected popularity of Viagra it should come as no surprise that one of the greatest issues with this drug is counterfeit medications. A quick google search for ‘buy Generic Viagra in South Africa’ will reveal over eighteen million search results. Some men may go online in hopes of buying the medication without a prescription so they don’t have to tell their doctor that they are having sexual health problems. Issues arise because these counterfeit medications are obviously not regulated. There have been reports of these fake drugs containing the wrong amounts of the medication. They may contain too little, too much or even none at all. There have even been instances of pills containing blue printer ink to help it have the signature blue color of a legitimate Viagra pill. For these reasons, and many others, the importance of obtaining an actual prescription from a licensed physician who has an up to date and accurate understanding of the patients physical health cannot be overstated.
In closing, Viagra is a drug that, although it is not currently used for its original intended purpose, has become a cornerstone in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. It has made millions of dollars in profit and improved the lives of men throughout the country and the world.
