What will happen to Levitra and Cialis when Viagra goes generic?

Generic Medicines: Safe if Approved by the FDA

The pharmaceutical industry has been chomping at the bit to get a piece of the sales pie once Viagra becomes legal in its generic form in the US-in March 2012 when the patent on brand name Viagra expires.

Once it become legal to produce and sell generic Viagra in the US, the same way thousands of illegal online vendors have been doing for years, the whole ED pill industry will be making some major changes. Many physicians in the US affirm that foreign made generic versions of Viagra are not safe. But in spring of 2012, or soon thereafter, there will be safe and legal generic sildenafil citrate-the main ingredient in Viagra-that you can get on line and in the drugstore. This generic ED pill will be approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration).

When Viagra goes generic it will mean good things for you, as an everyday hard working guy. Since generics are always less expensive, the brands will have to drop their prices to compete with generic Viagra. Levitra, Cialis and Viagra will probably all come down in price, giving a huge savings to millions of men.

If you’ve been aced out of the group of men who enjoy the benefits of ED pills, simply because you can’t afford the $20 or more per pill, you’ll appreciate having an affordable way to manage erectile dysfunction. You will finally be able to buy Viagra online or at a drugstore, without spending 3 month’s salary.

Here’s some more exciting news: Viagra’s producer, Pfizer, could request the FDA allow them to offer Viagra without a prescription. Men could walk right into the store and buy it, just like aspirin. Well almost. Actually if this is to work safely, the pharmacist will have to consult with each customer before selling it. Viagra has the potential to cause serious health problems if taken by men who use drugs made from nitrates. If the pharmacist could assure that no one taking these drugs was allowed to buy Viagra, this potential health danger could be mitigated, making it quite possible for Viagra to be sold OTC.

Since so many Rx medicines have become OTC, and are now used without causing any serious health problems, Pfizer may decide that further profits lie in exploring this marketing approach.

What is Topiglan Gel? Does it Work for Erectile Dysfunction?

Topiglan came out in 1996 but is not commonly known. It is a gel that you apply to the penis; it takes effect in about 5 to 20 minutes, increasing blood flow and enlarging blood vessels in the penis. It is easily absorbed by the skin beyond the surface layer, allowing maximum effectiveness. Its benefits are similar to ED pills, but it lasts about an hour.

It is made by MacroChem Corporation; they report that studies showed it was not harmful to females coming in contact with the substance, and that it enabled erections in 75% of men using it who were previously not getting erections with other ED treatments.

The use of a topical medicine is a better choice for men who cannot take ED pills-men with diabetes, atherosclerosis, vascular and heart disease.

Topiglan works much the same as pills, but it only dilates blood vessels in the penis. ED pills can dilate blood vessels or arteries of the brain and heart. This dilation is dangerous for men with vascular disease and other conditions. ED Pills can also interact dangerously with nitrates; Topiglan may be a good alternative for men who take nitrate drugs for heart disease or other conditions, because Topiglan does not interact with nitrate drugs in the body system wide.

Consider all the options when deciding on ED treatments. Don’t limit yourself just to what everyone else uses. A topical drug may be your best solution. Go over your medical conditions with your doctor and then decide what is best for you.
