Why aren't Cialis or Viagra available over the counter in the US?

Yay!!!!

Awful stuff, makes the wrong head feel like it's going to explode. Viagra is worse

Aren't there a fair amount of side effects and drug interactions? I took a small amount of viagra once and it gave me a headache and made my face flush.

Viagra gives me very bad heartache the next day. Cialis feels less intense and lasts a few days not hours. Thanks to SSRI’s my dick needs some help.

$$$$$$$$

It's very easy to get those pills OP. Plenty of online services where you have a 2 minute call with someone and it arrives at your door.

I get free samples when my normal meds arrive, I just toss them in a drawer

Why aren’t a lot of other drugs available OTC?

They are...

if you blow your pharmacist

Cialis/Viagra plus doxofylline are very good treatment for fat whores' failing heart too.

[quote] I bet there's be less male toxicity

Not unless you can invent a pill that makes women want to fuck these guys in the first place.

From SingleCare.com:

Viagra (sildenafil) is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Viagra is a brand-name drug manufactured by Pfizer. Sildenafil citrate is the generic version. The average Viagra cost is quite expensive at about $89.52 for 1, 100MG Tablet of Viagra. However, you can use a Viagra coupon below to pay a reduced price of $7.60 for 6, 100MG Tablet of generic Viagra at participating pharmacies near you.

I'm sure Pfizer doesn't want to lower its profits.

R12 Viagra is has been available as generic for the past 2 years. No insurance company will pay for brand any more. Pfizer doesn't make much off of Viagra as a result.

I practice in NYS and the automatic default when prescribing (all electronic now) is generic. If there is a generic it will be automatically dispensed, unless DAW (dispense as written) is added.

This is the case pretty much everywhere. If my patient wants brand instead of generic, they have to pay out of pocket for that.

Do those gas station boner pills work?

where are they OTC ? in which countries?

Why isn't the birth control pill over the counter?

Well. The article is over 10 years old and both drugs are available as generics. There’s no incentive for either company to seek over the counter approval when a generic manufacturer will just be able to sell them OTC and the companies won’t see any profits.

Sorry. Meant almost 10 years old, not over 10 years old.

[quote]fuck their women

Hahahahaha! OP, if you think women "belong" to men and will consent to sex with them just like *that* (snap!) you are part of the problem.

I think men should just fuck/suck other men and leave women alone.

But then again, I'm a lesbian.

I've never understood: so you get aroused by something but nothing happens 'down there'? How is that possible?

are these drugs prescribed for women? do women take them?

Which countries sell these drugs over the counter? Any post-industrial rich European countries?

You'll find out, R20.

[quote]I think men should just fuck/suck other men and leave women alone.

I agree with the lesbian

Nobody needs to go see a doctor for a scrip these days, it's easily done online. And getting these drugs doesn't mean that they'll be able to find a woman who will fuck them.

Can anyone describe what taking Viagra or Cialis is like for you? Does one or the other affect your libido/desire in anyway, or is strictly a physical reaction for rigidity of your erection? I'm just wondering what your firsthand experiences are.

I'm 43 and might talk to my doctor about it on my next check-in in two months. I still have my libido (though it's nowhere near where it was in my 30s), but I have noticed that my erections are less rigid and sustained than they used to be.

From my research, Cialis can last up to 36 hrs. Viagra lasts for 4-6 hours. there are side effects for some people, like headache, flushing of the face, ears, blue vision.

it increases blood flow to your cock. you might get dizzy if you stand up too fast. it's to make your dick hard.

R25. done online where? what kind of info do you need to give? pls enlighten

R26, have you tried a cock ring?

[quote]done online where? what kind of info do you need to give? pls enlighten

Try GoodRx.com. You do a telehealth chat, just give them some health info and tell them why you want it. It's not like they put you under a microscope.

[quote]there are side effects for some people, like headache, flushing of the face, ears, blue vision.

Ahh yes. The blue vision. I’ve taken cialis and thought I was having that. Turned out I forgot I was at a Smurf gang bang at the Smurf Hilton right off Smurf Road in Smurf Village.

I smurfed the shit out of Hefty Smurf while they all watched. Even Papa Smurf.

Take your limp dicks elsewhere.

R31, how long did the blue vision last?

[quote][R31], how long did the blue vision last?

Until I was in the Uber on the way back home.

[quote] strictly a physical reaction for rigidity of your erection

R26 That part is correct - it doesn't affect your urge/libido. You'll still need to be stimulated for the meds to really do any good.

Viagra side effect (headache) was HORRIBLE for me both times I tried it.

[quote]I bet there's be less male toxicity if these guys could get their pills without an embarrassing doctor's visit, [bold]fuck their women,[/bold] and then fall asleep after instead of driving their trucks all over the US in a rage.

Yes, blame the lack of pussy access for straight male rage. That's the cure, right there.

r24 I, too, agree with the lesbian. Then again, I'm also a lesbian.

R35, when did you get the Headache? After you climax? How long did it last?

Because Doctors like to embarrass us by having to rely on them to get us up. They are all secretly gay.

I just got viagra from Friday plans online...u fill shit out online and in a few days they tell u that u are approved and send it out....didn't have to talk to anyone...and it's an American website

Corporations call the shots here. You didn't know?

R39, so have you used it yet? did you get side effects? will you use it again?

R39, did you have to send picture of your ID ?

OP The FDA is a pain in the ass. There are a lot of medications that should be OTC.
