Pfizer’s Viagra is well-known as the little blue pill that enables impotent men to once again achieve and maintain an erection suitable for intercourse, if only temporarily. However, its hefty price tag has limited its customer base until relatively recently. In December 2017, two generic alternatives to Viagra hit the market, offering the same ED-relieving properties but at a lower price. And one of those generics comes from Greenstone LLC, a Pfizer subsidiary that specializes in generic medications.
Knowing that they can now purchase a generic formulation of Viagra made by a member of the greater Pfizer family has helped to allay the concerns of those who doubt that generics perform as well as the brand names they replace.
Generics Tightly Regulated
Given the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s stringent regulations governing the manufacture and marketing of generic drugs, such fears are pretty much groundless, but nevertheless they persist. Under FDA rules, generic medications must “contain the same active ingredient; have the same strength; use the same dosage form (for instance, a tablet, capsule, or liquid); and use the same route of administration (for instance, oral, topical, or injectable).”
Greenstone’s generic version of Viagra and another marketed by Teva pharmaceuticals went on sale in the United States on December 11, 2017. They will soon be joined by still other generic formulations, and the resulting price pressures should help to move prices of both brand-name and generic Viagra even lower.
