Prices for Viagra were relatively stable during the summer of 2019, although sildenafil prices did drop fairly sharply. Ordering your erectile dysfunction drugs from eDrugstore.com can usually save you time and money.
The Secure Medical monthly medication price review indicates that prices for Viagra moved very little, if at all, in September. However, prices for sildenafil citrate, its generic equivalent, did drop a bit from August but were considerably lower than they were in July.
This latest price update focuses on the approximate cost of a 50-milligram dose of both Viagra and sildenafil. Based on September prices at 18 major pharmacies — 15 conventional and three online — the approximate cost per 50-milligram dose is one-half the price of a 100-milligram tablet of either drug. Because pharmacies usually charge the same price per tablet of drug, regardless of its strength, it just makes good sense to buy 100-milligram Viagra or sildenafil and then split those pills in half to yield two 50-milligram doses for the price of one.

While some of the lowest prices for Viagra and sildenafil are listed at the conventional pharmacy retailers, you can probably save time and money by ordering your drugs from a reliable online prescription drug service such as eDrugstore.com. The prices at eDrugstore include not just the medication itself but a number of added-value services that are built into those prices.
Benefits of Ordering Online
For example, by ordering from eDrugstore, you’ll spare yourself the hassle of trips to and from the local pharmacy plus the time you’d waste waiting for the prescription to be filled. And if you don’t have a prescription and find it difficult to fit a doctor’s visit into your busy schedule, eDrugstore will arrange a complimentary online consultation with a licensed U.S. physician who can authorize a prescription if appropriate. This service alone can save you plenty of time and money.
