Generic ED drugsWhen Will Branded ED Drugs Become Generic?
Of course, a brand-name drug cannot turn into a generic, so when we ask ourselves when branded drugs for treating erectile dysfunction will become generic, we are interested in when manufacturers of original drugs against impotence will start licensing generics, directly controlling their production by partner of the license agreement and guaranteeing their high quality. At the moment, of the “big three” manufacturers of meds against ED, only the company Eli Lilly, which produces Cialis, in the near future (one to two years) plans to launch the release of a licensed generic of this drug. Eli Lilly is considering the possibility of working with a French pharmaceutical company, whose name is not disclosed.
Do Generic Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Really Work?
Sometimes patients doubt the effectiveness of generics, trusting only branded drugs. These doubts are unfounded, because the active ingredient and its dosage in generics of any drugs, in particular, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, is exactly the same as in the original drug. Differences can be in the name of the drug, color, shape and size of tablets, sometimes in the dosage form (not traditional pills, but sachets or soft tablets), but not in effect.
Generic drugs against erectile dysfunction appeared later than branded ones patented by the original manufacturers. They are traditionally significantly cheaper than originals, which is attractive for many patients. In addition, the excipients of these drugs are constantly being upgraded, which often reduces the number of side effects. There are many generics of the same prototype drug, which are manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies in different countries.
What Is The Cheapest ED Medication?
Of the most famous branded drugs against ED – Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and Stendra – Cialis and Stendra are characterized by the lowest prices. As for generics, the answer to this question is more difficult, because the variation in prices for analog drugs is quite large. The cost of the same generic can vary greatly depending on how many tablets you buy at one time and at which particular Internet pharmacy.
