How to Buy Generic Viagra

Viagra has helped millions of couples conquer erectile dysfunction issues and many others deal with health conditions entirely unrelated to sex. However, for those without health insurance or whose health insurance doesn't cover Viagra, the expensive blue pill is simply not affordable. Turning to generic versions of Viagra might be a way around the cost, so follow these steps to buy generic Viagra.

1. See your physician. The Internet, which is the number one outlet for generic Viagra, allows consumers to buy drugs without a prescription. However, just because you can buy these drugs online, usually from overseas companies, does not mean it is legal. To legally buy the drug, you must have a prescription and the drug must be approved by the FDA for import. So speak with your doctor about getting and filling a legal prescription.
2. Identify generic versions of Viagra. Before you buy anything, you should know exactly what you're getting and where it's from. Begin by looking at FDA approved versions of Viagra such as tadalafil (marketed as Cialis) and vardenafil (marketed as Levitra). These products function very similarly to Viagra but are a bit cheaper than their brand name competitor.
3. Research before you buy. In the case of FDA-approved drugs, the research has already been done for you. If you are buying Viagra substitutes, including brand names that have not been approved by the FDA you need to do your homework. For instance, many of the Viagra generics come from India, so check to see what the FDA, the Indian health authorities and other watch groups are saying about the product before you use it.
4. Check to see if an outlet requires a prescription. If you are unsure about the quality of a generic Viagra outlet, one way to gauge the organization's adherence to the law is to see if they require a prescription. Organizations that send prescription drugs into the US still must ask for a prescription. Those that comply are generally serious companies that sell good products. Companies that waive the prescription process are more likely just trying to make a buck. See if an outlet requires a prescription and if it does, use that company to fill your prescription of generic Viagra.
