Most providers here want a request from us before they'll even talk to the patient


I hate that. It discourages personal responsibility. Some offices IVRs around here say things like "If you need a refill please call your pharmacy directly"

Yup I've heard that line before as well.

I'm... Actually surprised Viagra is generic anywhere in the States. I thought the patent was supposed to be up in December.

20mg strength isn't considered Viagra, it's too low (he's talking about Revatio). I think the indication for that is Pulmonary Hypertension.

So no Viagra isn't generic yet, but Revatio is.

Yeah that's Revatio (generic). Viagra is 50mg or more and that's the strength indicated for ED. The drug you have shown is indicated for pulmonary hypertension (not saying doctors don't prescribe Revatio for ED)
