Of the three conventional retailers surveyed in this blog post, Costco has the lowest price for Viagra, and all three have identical prices for sildenafil. However, your savings in time and money when you order from eDrugstore.com could make that the best deal of all.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

With more than 770 sprawling warehouse clubs, Costco is one of America\u2019s largest retailers. It also operates a number of stores in countries outside the United States. And, according to our latest price research, Costco offers the lowest prices for Viagra and sildenafil when compared with prices posted at Giant and Stop & Shop, both of which are supermarket chains that operate primarily in the northeastern United States.<\/p>\n

Introduced in 1998, Viagra was the first of the oral erectile dysfunction drugs known collectively as PDE5 inhibitors. Other drugs in this family include Cialis, Levitra, Staxyn, and Stendra. Viagra\u2019s active ingredient is sildenafil citrate, which is also the name of the ED drug\u2019s generic equivalent, which first went on sale in the United States in late 2017.<\/p>\n

Viagra, Sildenafil Are Best Sellers<\/h3>\n

Brand-name Viagra and its generic alternative still hold the lion\u2019s share of the ED drug market, according to a May 2019 report posted at CNBC.com<\/a>. The CNBC report cited data from GoodRx.com showing that Viagra and sildenafil together accounted for 65 percent of all ED prescriptions filled between December 1, 2018, and January 31, 2019. In second place was Cialis and tadalafil, which together accounted for 30 percent of all ED prescriptions.<\/p>\n

Under a pricing policy common throughout the prescription drug market, the prices for varying-strength tablets of a specific medication are usually identical. This has prompted budget-conscious consumers to adopt the pill-splitting strategy to reduce their drug expenses. Not all pills can be split, so check with your doctor to determine which pills can be safely divided in half. Fortunately, Viagra and sildenafil are pills that can be safely split.<\/p>\n

Putting the Strategy to Work<\/h3>\n

Under this strategy, men who take the recommended starting dose of Viagra\/sildenafil — 50 milligrams — can purchase 100-milligram tablets and split them in half to effectively get two doses for the price of one.<\/p>\n
