Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced the Company's recent approval for its second-in-line formulation of Viagra (sildenafil citrate) for men with erectile dysfunction. The company received a "black box" warning letter in the April 1, 2013, FDA approvals for Viagra and its generic counterpart, sildenafil citrate, for both products. Viagra is the brand-name version of Pfizer's sildenafil citrate product.
Pfizer's Viagra is one of the most counterfeited drugs in the world, with more than 5 million counterfeit pills counterfeited each year. The company estimates that up to 1 billion counterfeit Viagra pills are available in the United States, with a staggering of more than 20 million impotence patients in the country. Pfizer's Viagra is a form of Viagra that, in the U. S., is often sold at less than $5 per tablet. The company has not disclosed the specific nature of the counterfeited pills. However, Pfizer believes that the introduction of these counterfeited pills will bring greater awareness and understanding of the risk of counterfeit Viagra, including the need for a black box warning, and the importance of monitoring the safety of pharmaceuticals.
According to the FDA, counterfeit Viagra sales have been increasing in the United States since 1999, with an estimated 10 million counterfeit products sold each year. The FDA has identified 1,100 counterfeit Viagra pills with sales in the U. S. as of April 1, 2013. The number of counterfeited Viagra pills in the U. is approximately 10 million, increasing from about 4 million in 1998. The counterfeited pills are used to improve the effectiveness of medications such as Viagra and sildenafil. Counterfeit Viagra is an erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment that is used to treat a number of men in a relationship or for which the man is not suitable. It is known as the "blue pill."
Pfizer's Viagra was first introduced to the market in 1998. In May 2013, it was approved for sale by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the trade name "Cialis." In 2012, Pfizer was the leader in the world in Viagra sales. According to the company, it has more than 90 million prescriptions filled in the U. S., with Pfizer generating approximately $3.2 billion in annual sales. According to a study by the Association for Sexual Medicine, more than 11 million men have had their sexual problems treated with sildenafil, the generic version of Viagra. However, the use of sildenafil in Viagra is not approved by the FDA and other manufacturers have not been able to provide adequate safety data on the use of sildenafil in Viagra.
In the United States, counterfeited Viagra is sold only with a prescription from a doctor. In Europe, a doctor may prescribe Viagra to a patient who has a prescription from a registered pharmacist. Pfizer believes that this practice will help reduce the likelihood of receiving counterfeit Viagra pills. In the U. S., there is currently no FDA-approved drug for the treatment of ED.
Theis expected to be available in several other countries and is based on data from the FDA's Internet Medication Index, a website that provides information about medication and drug prices. The Index was created by a group of medical, scientific, and business professionals who research and write about the prices of drugs and medical products. The index is designed to provide the most up-to-date information about drug prices, including prices for prescription, over-the-counter, and other medications. The price of a medication may vary depending on the pharmacy and the condition it is being prescribed for. Generic medications tend to be less expensive than brand-name drugs. Generic Viagra is sold at a lower price than the brand-name drug, and is sold without a prescription from a doctor. Viagra's active ingredient is sildenafil citrate, which is the same active ingredient in both brands.
The Company also is developing new formulations of sildenafil for patients with erectile dysfunction. The Company is working on novel formulations that allow the Company to use the results of a patient's blood pressure test to determine whether Viagra or other similar medications may be effective. The new formulations of Viagra will be made available over the counter (OTC) by Pfizer, and are expected to be available by prescription in the United States.

If you’re a woman who’s ever struggled with sexual desire, feeling turned on, or enjoying sex (either with yourself, or with a partner), you may have wondered whether there’s a simple treatment out there that can help. Men have Viagra, after all—where’s Viagra for women? We’ve got good news for you! There literally is and now it’s available through Wisp! Our new OMG! Cream uses Viagra’s active ingredient, Sildenafil, in a topical form. Feeling titillated? Read on!
Before we get into our new treatment, we want to talk a little bit about why we’re offering OMG! Cream—namely, the Orgasm Gap. You may have seen some headlines about it over the past few years.
The Orgasm Gap refers to the reported gap in pleasure within heterosexual sexual encounters. And, unfortunately, plenty of surveys and studies exist to confirm the fact that if you don’t have a penis, you’re less likely to orgasm during sex. A 2018 US national sample asked over 50,000 participants about their orgasm rates—with some unsatisfying results!
, 95% of heterosexual men said they usually or always orgasmed with sex. And that’s great! But, the numbers decline from there. Next in line were gay men (89%), bisexual men (88%), lesbian women (86%), bisexual women (66%), and heterosexual women (65%).That means 35% of heterosexual women in this study–and 34% of bi women–don’t usually orgasm during sex.We aren’t satisfied with that, and it sounds like many of you aren’t either!
Sexuality is personal and intimate (and sometimes confusing, fuzzy, vulnerable, and empowering). Even though everyone’s experience with sex is their own, the Orgasm Gap isprettyyydarn persistent and widespread. What can we conclude from that? Well, social dynamics and expectations are everywhere–including the bedroom.
Gender norms have come a long way in recent years, but 100% equality isn’t quite here. With that comes the idea that men’s orgasms are natural, easy, and expected. And women’s orgasms? They’re. It’s time to bust that myth!
For most women, penetration alone isn’t a sure way to reach orgasm. What can you do instead? Focus on the clitoris!Stimulating the clit with hands, vibrators, tongues, or a combination is a more reliable way for most women to orgasm (with to prove it 😉).
There are lots of factors that can affect sexual pleasure in a relationship—communication, stress, new medications, aging, or partners who just don’t care. We can’t fix it all, but one thing we can do is put the power in your hands by making it as easy as possible for you to get off when you want to.
OMG! Cream is a lightweight topical cream that increases blood flow to the clitoris, thereby increasing your sensitivity and heightening pleasure. It contains Sildenafil, the same active ingredient that’s used in Viagra to boost blood flow to the penis and make erections easier to achieve during sex. Unlike the lubes or gels you may see in your local drugstore, OMG! Cream doesn’t rely on tingling peppermint or other essential oils to create sensitivity—Sildenafil is the real deal. This prescription-only ingredient helps dilate the blood vessels in and around your genitals to increase sensation and make it easier for you to achieve orgasm.
You may have heard of other similar topical prescription creams sometimes referred to as While OMG! Cream uses the same active ingredient as some of those other treatments, it includes one important difference—OMG! Cream doesn’t contain arginine, an amino acid that can increase the frequency and severity of herpes outbreaks. If you’re someone who deals with herpes outbreaks, OMG! Cream is perfectly safe for you to use!

After years of uncertainty, the United States has finally come to an agreement with the Israeli-based Pfizer to allow access to the generic version of Viagra, Viagra Connect. The deal, which has not yet passed, is designed to spur new competition and to secure a deal that will allow Pfizer to keep its vast portfolio of generic Viagra.
Viagra, the brand name for sildenafil, is a key player in the world of erectile dysfunction treatment. It treats the problem by increasing blood flow to the penis and helping men get and keep an erection. While many people wonder how it works, the most well-known effect of Viagra is its ability to enhance sexual performance.
The first-to-file tablet, for example, has been dubbed the "little blue pill" by the pharmaceutical industry. The tablet, which is sold in 50-milligram doses, has been dubbed "Viagra," a term that's been coined to describe the effects of the drug, although it's the same drug used in the film-coated tablets. Since its launch in 1998, Viagra has been the subject of considerable debate and controversy. A 2012 study, which was conducted by the University of Texas at Austin's School of Pharmacy, revealed that about 3 percent of men between the ages of 40 and 70, who were prescribed Viagra, experienced some degree of sexual impairment. That percentage was the highest in the world, and that's only the start of what's known as the "Viagra Law."
As a result of this scrutiny, a few years ago, the Food and Drug Administration granted approval to the new tablet, which was expected to have a longer half-life of four to five hours, giving men the opportunity to take the drug at their own convenience.
Now Pfizer is working to expand access to the generic version of Viagra, which will be available exclusively through the online pharmacy chain's website. The move will allow more men to use the product for enhanced sexual performance and potentially lower the rate of recurrence.
The decision to allow the generic version of Viagra comes as Pfizer's patent on Viagra goes into effect. In 2012, the patent expired, allowing generic manufacturers to sell their own versions of Viagra at a significantly lower price. A Pfizer spokesperson said that the decision to allow the generic version would not affect Pfizer's product portfolio, which includes the brand-name product.
As the patent on Viagra has expired, other companies are seeking to make their own versions of Viagra, either as an alternative to Viagra or as a generic substitute. Some of these companies have tried to produce their own versions of Viagra, but this may not be possible until a larger number of competitors have come along. Other avenues include selling Viagra directly through pharmacies or online retailers, as well as bringing in local pharmacists to fill prescriptions.
While it's true that there are some risks involved in using a drug, it's important to consider the long-term consequences. Some of the most concerning side effects of Viagra are:
The impact of these side effects can be substantial, especially for men who have not experienced it before. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in June found that a higher percentage of men who took the drug experienced sexual problems after four weeks. Viagra users who took it experienced a 50 percent increase in the number of times they sought medical help for their erectile dysfunction, compared to those who didn't take the drug.
It's also important to note that the Viagra drug itself was developed and marketed in the United States as a "pharmaceutical drug," rather than a medical device. The pharmaceutical companies that developed and market their own versions of Viagra have not taken the drug seriously, but they have been able to offer a generic version of it for patients who cannot swallow the tablets.
With Pfizer's announcement today, it's not surprising that the U. S. has come to an agreement with the Israeli-based Pfizer to allow access to Viagra, allowing men to use the brand-name product in the same way as other brands have used drugs. The deal, which was signed during a conference call earlier today, follows a series of talks that are expected to take place in October.

Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) was the first drug approved by the FDA and approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction. This was the first drug on the market that is the first drug in a new class of drugs. This drug is called a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, which was approved by the FDA in 1998.
Sildenafil is available in a generic form that is the same active ingredient as the brand-name drug and is called Viagra. The generic name is also the same name as the brand-name drug, the same strength, and the same price. This drug was the first drug approved by the FDA in 1998 and the first to be approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction. This drug is available to the public at a much lower price than the brand-name drug, but that is because it is the only drug available in the United States. In this way, this drug is available for public use and is also more widely available in the United States.
