Steve, you no longer have to go outside the US to get a cheap ED drug.
 Viagra is off patent, sort of, so, you can get the legit, FDA approved, 
generic version cheaply.  Here is the story.

The chemical name of Viagra is sildenafil citrate.  Pfizer has been selling 
sildenafil citrate under two brand names, Viagra and Revatio.  The Revatio 
version is 20 mg of sildenafil citrate.  Chemically, it is identical to 
Viagra and is used to treat pulmonary hypertension (my mother-in-law takes 
it for that).  For some crazy reason, the patent on Revatio has expired; the 
patent on Viagra has not.  The generic version of Revatio has been FDA 
approved and is available at places like Walmart, Costco, Kmart, Target, 
etc.  The prices have been coming down.  To find the latest lowest price of 
sildenafil or any other drug, look it up at

GoodRx.com

As of a minute ago, the lowest price for 30 tablets, 20 mg, was $23.80 (or, 
79c each).  The lowest price of the brand name Viagra is $870- for 30 pills, 
at Safeway; 36 times as much!

Ask a dr for a prescription of sildenafil citrate, 20 mg. To get the 
equivalent of the max dose Viagra, 100 mg, it takes 5 pills (but, they are 
tiny).

You won't save much and you'd be taking a chance by ordering from another 
country.
