Viagra and The Great Price Slash
I was quite astounded to find out how the price of Viagra has come down. So much so that
Viagra is now cheaper than Cialis!
Why Drug Prices Come Down
It seems that when the patent of a particular drug expires then the generic version comes out and there goes the neighborhood – I mean there goes the price – to rock bottom.
The patent for Viagra expired in 2013 and the drug that used to cost R900 / 4 tablets is now only between
(2019 Price ZAR194)
2022 Price incl. dispensing fee ZAR129
One of the main things clients say when the discussion of erectile enhancing drugs raise its head is the issue of Viagra costing a virtual arm and leg.
Any of the following medications are still better than anything you may be tempted to buy off the internet, the sex shop or even the local filling station.
I am not a qualified Pharmacist so speaking from the point of what I gather from my clients, some Dr Goggle research and the kind people at the chemist - here are:
The differences between Viagra / Levitra / Cialis ?
UPDATED Jun2022 in Green so you can see the differences between 2019 and 2022

THE SIMILARITIES
All three drugs cause the muscles of the penis to relax thus causing blood flow to the penis allowing erection.
All three drugs only work upon actual stimulation of your cock and will not let you get a hard on, at random.
Prescriptions required for any erectile enhancing drugs.
As the many side effects of each drug differs from person to person, it is difficult to go into those details in any constructive way, without discouraging experimentation.
Not one of these drug can increase your desire – but rather work on the actual physical performance of your sex organ. However, there must be a substantial increase in confidence when using these kinds of medication and I hope this information gives you some idea of where to start exploring.
Note on Erectile Enhancing Drugs and Premature Ejaculation
I read drfox.co.uk
“Levitra is also used to treat premature ejaculation, and can significantly increase the duration of sexual intercourse before ejaculation, however it is not officially licensed in the UK for this use. Men wishing to delay ejaculation should use Priligy tablets.”
Dapoxetine is the active ingredient of Priligy. Dapoxamine was first used a an anti depressant. Fluoxetine has also been used to treat premature ejaculation. Fluoxetine is the usual suspect in happy pills. However, I would like to warn you that continual use of either of these two drugs will lead to NO EJACULATIONS WHATSOEVER WITHIN TWO TO THREE YEARS – so please be very careful with these drugs and the random use of steroids which can have a similar effect. Behavioral change is by far a better solution for treating habitual premature ejaculation than medication
CONCLUSION
As each and every man is 100% unique it is difficult to say if Viagra, Levitra or Cialis is the one for you. Do not under any circumstances use any of these powerful drugs for recreational purposes as misuse could wreck your sex life.
