Introduced in 1998, the erectile dysfunction medication known as Viagra immediately became one of the most popular drugs in history — and also one of the most widely faked, with sales of counterfeit Viagra reportedly raking in a stunning $75 billion per year.
The popularity of cheaper, often fake, versions of Viagra is understandable. The “little blue pill” comes with a large price tag — about $38 per 50 milligram pill, which for most users constitutes a single dose of the drug.
To make acquiring the drug even worse for the estimated 30 million men who experience erectile dysfunction in the United States alone, insurance companies frequently refuse to cover Viagra or other ED medications, meaning that online pharmacies advertising what they call “generic Viagra” usually sell doses of the drug, whose generic name is sildenafil citrate, for a fraction of that cost.
