VIAGRA QUESTION

Posted by sm100378 on January 29, 2006, at 13:14:30

Hi,

I am currently prescribed Viagra because of my other meds creating some impotence factors. I am on Medica insurance (pretty popular) and can only get 8 pills per fill.

QUESTION: For people who are on Viagra, are you finding this similarity, and if so have you found a way to be able to get more than "8" pills per fill. I am in a steady relationship and actually need this prescription, so I am looking for some input.

Thanks!

Here are the trade prices for Viagra in the UK........

25mg tabs - 8 tablets cost £33.19
50mg tabs - 8 tablets cost £38.67
100mg tabs- 8 tablets cost £46.99

As you can see, the 100mg tablets are much better value than the 50mg tablets. The 50mg tablets are in turn much better value than the 25mg tablets.

Taking 1/4 of a 100mg tablet is much less expensive than taking a 25mg tablet!

Finding the minimum effective dose can save a lot of money. The tablets are apparantly difficult to cut, hmmmm I wonder why they made them like that?

I imagine the manufacturer recommends that the tablets should not but cut but then they would, wouldn't they? LOL, greedy Pfizer.
