Despite competition from other drugmakers, Pfizer has been able to maintain a significant share in the erectile dysfunction market thanks in part to launching its own generic version of the blue, diamond-shaped pill.

Pfizer holds a lead in the erectile dysfunction market even as generics erode sales of its once-blockbuster male libido treatment, Viagra.

The medication, originally developed with the intention of treating high blood pressure in adults, became a hit for males struggling in the bedroom and Pfizer when it was introduced to the U.S. market in 1998. In its first quarter, Viagra brought a total of $400 million in revenue for Pfizer and would later produce annual sales of about $1.8 billion.

In late 2017, Pfizer announced it would produce a generic version, called sildenafil, at half the cost of the brand name. The company also said at the time it would offer new discount programs and increase its copayment card discounts to make the brand version more accessible to patients.

Why?

Entièrement d'accord. Pfizer géant américain des laboratoires pharmaceutiques est le grand gagnant de cette histoire une fois de plus.

It’s not hard to understand why. 🤣

Ban viagra in states that ban abortion...

After all, old farts like Roy Moore need Viagra so they can pursue sexual relationships with 14-year-old girls in places like abortion-ban Alabama.

All I care about is when is the Male birth control pill coming to the market
