You will not get a smart comment from me - I happen to be one of the few remaining decent old chaps around here who has enormous respect for the female race. Ladies are to be cherished - not chastised or ridiculed.

What I will say is that I originated this thread as a serious topic to educate and inform. It has been hijacked by ageists and jokers who obviously don't get it.

On a serious note, why don't people appreciate that Pfizer are ripping people off? £12·50 a tablet is extortion. Just because sex is involved they think they can get away with charging anything they want.

Let it not be forgotten that Sildenafil citrate came out of research into anti-hypertensive/cardiac drugs - an area where there is intense competition and the cost of medication is relatively low because there are so many drugs already on the market. It follows, then, that the line of research being followed would have to be for the new drug to be low cost. It was only after clinical trials were in progress that the side effects were noticed - side effects that became the marketed use for the drug.

A look at the chemistry involved in the synthesis of Sildenafil shows, indeed, that it is relatively easy prepare (even though dangerous) and thus relatively low manufacturing cost. Similarly with the other erectile dysfunction preparations like Tadalfil and apomorphine.

its not pfizer thats ripping people off.

boots are profiteering by selling them at £60 and then if you go back for more charge a £37 .50 medical fee.

after that they are only £22 .

The prescription price for Viagra (to which must be added the dispensing fee):

Tablets, all blue, f/c, sildenafil (as citrate), 25 mg, net price 4-tab pack = £16.59, 8-tab pack = £33.19; 50 mg, 4-tab pack = £19.34, 8-tab pack = £38.67; 100 mg, 4-tab pack = £23.50, 8-tab pack = £46.99

From the current British National Formulary. This is the price that Pfizer charge the pharmacy.

This price is astronomical compared with other medicaments which are used for the treatment of heart /circulatory disease and which was the point of my first post to this thread.
