Brand or Generic Viagra, What’s the difference?Filed Under: VIAGRA
When Pfizer came out with Viagra in the mid 90’s, the company made a lot of money. They slapped a Brand name on it, protected it with patents, and charged a lot of money because they were the only ones allowed to sell it. The product was the first of its kind, much like the first brand of toothpaste or shampoo, or when Bayer came out with Aspirin.
The fact that Pfizer was the only one allowed to sell Viagra in the mid 90’s pretty much allowed them to price it however they wanted. Brand name Viagra can cost as much as $21 a pill. That’s expensive taste for anyone. But once their international patent expired (it will expire in the United States in a 2012), then anyone became able to manufacture the drug.
The chemical name for Viagra is sildenafil citrate, which is also known as generic Viagra, if only because the name Viagra is much more recognized that sildenafil citrate. Generic Viagra is literally the same exact thing as Brand name Viagra. It’s like buying the supermarket brand “Oaty O’s” instead of brand name “Cheerios”. You’ll save 50% on the cereal, but with Generic Viagra, the savings you’ll experience are staggering.
Whereas brand Viagra can go for as much as $21 a pill, generic Viagra goes for as little as $1.30 a pill. That’s about 5% of the price, meaning you’ll save a whopping 95%. The only downside is that you have to be cautious about who you buy generic Viagra from. Brand Viagra can only come from Pfizer, and they are regulated. Generic Viagra can come from anyone. That is why this site only links to online pharmacies that are trusted and perform lab tests on all their generic pharmaceutical products at least twice a year for quality assurance.
