Generic Viagra

While there is currently one western company "Pfizer" making the original, branded Viagra, there are literally over a hundred companies making generic Viagra versions. The problem is compounded since Viagra is probably the most marketable and profitable treatment to manufacture.

There is a place for generic Viagra

Firstmed recognises that generic versions of western treatments (like generic viagra) play an important role in the developing world by providing cheaper treatments to many millions of people who would otherwise be unable to afford them. Generics usually cost around one eighth of the original treatments and, on the face of it, they look like a real bargain. This said, there are many troubling issues with the abundant, easy access of generic viagra on the internet and the companies that supply them.

The reality of generic Viagra

Although generics have a place in helping the third world obtain medicines at an affordable price, the actual truth is that Viagra and other impotence treatments are not needed by these countries. The companies that produce generic Viagra are primarily doing so to market them to the west. The real truth is the generic industry makes millions. The profits are invariably kept by a select few and cannot be seen as any more than racketeering. In reality, the industry does little to help the economies of the developing nations and seriously undermines the western pharmaceutical industry. The consumer may be getting cheap Viagra, but the real price that is paid is the lack of information and guarantees of what, in fact, is actually being supplied.

The lack of independent monitoring

Although, there are some very good generic versions of Viagra that work well, there is no independent organisation that monitors these pharmaceuticals or the quality of the treatments themselves. This means that the buyers are really making themselves the guinea pigs and testers when they buy generics. Considering all the different versions of generic Viagra available on the market, there is in fact a higher probability that the treatments do not work or may even be detrimental to one's health.

The best case scenario

Viagra alternatives or generic viagra is cheap and can save you a lot of money this is certain and obvious but that is about as far as the benefits go. But what price do you pay for that saving? Realistically even with the best generic viagra, you will get something that works but the likelihood is you will receive a pill with considerably less active ingredient in it than the real branded impotence treatments. Companies that produce generic Viagra and other impotence treatments by definition are cost cutters and they will invariably do so wherever possible. Furthermore, there is a strong possibility that different and untested additives have been included that could very well be harmful. What is certain is these treatments have never been tested and have never passed western pharmaceutical standards. Any order will have to be sent from overseas, making delivery difficult and will invariably take more than one week..

The worst case scenario

The treatment might not only fail to work but it could indeed be detrimental to your health. In the past, powdered glass and even toxins have been found in generic versions of Viagra. Another point of concern is the morality and levels of criminality of these companies. It is really highly likely that your email and details will be sold to spammers and worse still that your card details may also be at risk. It is illegal for any western-based company to supply generics. All the companies that do so are registered in out-of-the-way untouchable places. There is little to stop these companies from doing whatever they wish with any of the details you supply when purchasing your generic Viagra online.
