The price for 100-milligram sildenafil citrate, also known as generic Viagra, was only $14.78 at CVS and Target pharmacies in September 2019. That was well below the average price of $23.08 for the drug that month.
Looking for the lowest price on sildenafil citrate, the generic equivalent of Viagra? The average price for a 100-milligram tablet of the drug in September 2019 was $23.08, according to Secure Medical’s monthly prescription drug price review. However, savvy shoppers willing to do their homework could find the drug at even lower prices at certain retail pharmacies.
According to the price review, the lowest price for 100-milligram sildenafil — $14.78 — in September 2019 was available at CVS and Target. It should be noted that the pharmacy departments in Target stores are owned and operated by CVS. The CVS-Target price for sildenafil was almost 36 percent lower than the average price for the drug that month.
Review Surveys 18 Retailers
The Secure Medical monthly prescription drug price review surveys 18 prescription drug retailers — 15 conventional brick-and-mortar retailers and three online suppliers. All three of the online suppliers are based in the United States.
The next lowest price for 100-milligram sildenafil in September 2019 was $15.85, available at both Walgreens and Rite-Aid pharmacies. While not quite as low as the CVS-Target price, it was still 31.3 percent lower than the average price for sildenafil in September.
Kroger’s Price Was $18.65
At $18.65 per 100-milligram dose, the next lowest price for sildenafil was found at Kroger, America’s largest supermarket chain based on revenue.
The 100-milligram sildenafil is the highest-strength dose of the drug on the market. The recommended starting dose for the drug is 50 milligrams. That is also the dose that worked for the majority of men in clinical trials. Cost-conscious shoppers routinely save by buying the 100-milligram tablet and splitting it in half, yielding two 50-milligram doses for the price of one. The price for 50- and 100-milligram tablets is the same, so it makes sense to buy the higher-strength tablet and divide in half. However, not all prescription medications can be safely and effectively split. Check with your doctor to find out which is which.
Online Prices Higher, But . . .
Sildenafil prices were typically lower at brick-and-mortar retailers than at online prescription drug services. However, it’s important to take into consideration any added-value services that online retailers build into their posted prices for medications.
For example, order sildenafil from eDrugstore.com, an Arizona-based online facilitator, and you’ll spare yourself the bothersome trips to and from the pharmacy and time spent waiting for the pharmacist to fill your prescription.
