The average prices for Viagra were little changed over the final six months of 2019. However, a bit more turbulence was seen in average prices for sildenafil, Viagra\u2019s generic equivalent.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Prices for Viagra moved within a relatively narrow range during the second half of 2019, while those for its generic equivalent, sildenafil citrate, were significantly more volatile.<\/p>\n

These results are based on Secure Medical\u2019s monthly review of prescription drug prices at 18 pharmacy retailers — 15 that operate brick-and-mortar shops and three that operate exclusively online.<\/p>\n

Most Popular ED Drugs<\/h3>\n

Together, Viagra and sildenafil remain the most popular erectile dysfunction drugs, capturing an estimated 65 percent share of the market between December 1, 2018, and January 31, 2019, according to CNBC.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The prices quoted in this blog post for both Viagra and sildenafil are for 100 mg tablets. Because the price for 50 mg and 100 mg tablets are identical, many consumers prefer to purchase the higher-strength pill and split it in half to yield two doses of 50 mg, which is the recommended starting dose. Splitting pills in this fashion in effect gives consumers two doses for the price of one. However, not all prescription drugs should be split, so check with your doctor before splitting any other medications that you take regularly.<\/p>\n

Viagra Prices Relatively Steady<\/h3>\n

Among all 18 pharmacy retailers included in Secure Medical monthly pricing reviews, the average price for Viagra in July 2019 was $79.28. It dropped 2.9 percent in August to $76.99 and remained there through September. It inched up a very modest six cents to $77.05 in October and another 16 cents to $77.21 in November. At year\u2019s end, Viagra\u2019s price fell 50 cents, or less than 1 percent, to $76.71 in December.<\/p>\n

As previously noted, the prices for sildenafil were a bit more volatile during the second half of 2019. They began the six-month period with an average price of $33.56 in July. They dropped 25.8 percent to $24.89 in August and remained there through October. In November, the average price for sildenafil dipped 24 cents to $24.65. In December, sildenafil\u2019s average price dropped another 24 cents to $24.41.<\/p>\n
