Several commonly used and well-known drugs fit into this category:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Erectile Dysfunction<\/strong>
\ndrugs<\/strong> such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis<\/li>\n- Hair loss and Balding Prevention drugs<\/strong> like Propecia and Rogaine<\/li>\n
- Weight loss drugs<\/strong> like Meridia<\/li>\n
- Cosmetic drugs<\/strong> like Botox<\/li>\n
- Drugs for birth control\u00a0<\/strong>such as Yaz and Levora<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Although men and women alike utilize lifestyle drugs daily, they typically bear the cost out of their own pockets, as few insurance providers are willing to cover these drugs. This changed for some drugs, like birth control pills, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which required insurance companies to include birth control coverage<\/a> on their healthcare plans. Still, medications like Viagra and Botox will largely be out of pocket expenses for most consumers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nAmericans are not opposed to investing in their appearances for quality of life and appearance purposes. For instance, in 2018, Americans spent more than $16 billion<\/a> on cosmetic surgeries and minimally-invasive procedures like Botox. Not just for wrinkles, Botox can also treat excessive sweating, chronic migraines, and tight muscles<\/a>. Similarly, Americans spent more than $630 million<\/a> on the name brand erectile dysfunction drug Viagra in 2018 alone. Globally, it is anticipated than men will spend more than $7 billion USD<\/a> on erectile dysfunction medications by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n
For men interested in exploring Botox, they can expect to spend, on average, $400<\/a> depending on the treatment area and the number of treatments needed. Bear in mind, Botox may only last for 3 months. For men using the name brand<\/em> drug Viagra to treat ED who have sex on average 6 times per month<\/a> can expect to spend more than $1,300 for a 3 month supply<\/a>.<\/p>\n
A Low-Cost Alternative that Won\u2019t Break the Bank<\/h3>\n

And, since generic and name brand versions of erectile dysfunction drugs are now available for purchase online,\u00a0<\/a>the headache associated with cost and access is gone. \u00a0Check out the eDrugstore.com Erectile Dysfunction page<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
