No Viagra Without A Prescription

Well it doesn't look like men will be rushing out to pick up some Viagra at their favorite health stores anytime soon. The Associated Press recently reported that federal regulators are unlikely to approve over the counter sale of Pfizer Inc's erectile dysfunction medication due to safety risks.

From the original AP reported news story:

"A major reason is that men who take drugs that contain nitrates, such as nitroglycerin for chest pain, should not take Viagra, because serious complications can occur. A warning notice about that is included on Viagra's label, but doctors also tell patients about the risk, said Jason Napodano, an analyst at Zacks Independent Research."

"You can't trust patients to read the label," Napodano said.

Funny but true. Just imagine all the men who would be popping penis pills like they were candy and running around with erections all day! That is, until they ended up in the emergency room.

Also imagine just how much more money the manufacturers would rake in…

"For the nine months ended in September, Viagra sales fell 1 percent to $1.2 billion."

Poor Pfizer… only $1.2 billion? They must be ready to go out of business! Seriously though, can you believe how much money men shell out for Viagra and other related prescription drugs like Cialis? Maybe it's just modern society's "drugs are the answer" mentality that makes men spend thousands on pills to make their dicks hard. Whatever the reason, it's undeniable that the big pharmaceutical companies pretty much run the show.

What's sad is that companies that provide natural enhancement products which produce many of the same benefits as Viagra are rarely ever heard of. It's true that they aren't magic pills that give you an instant erection, but I'll take a longer term natural and safe solution over a dangerous prescription drug any day of the week!
