Tips to Safely Buy VIAGRA Online
Make sure that when you buy VIAGRA online, you’re getting real VIAGRA. Many of the sites that claim to sell VIAGRA online are actually selling dangerous fakes. To prove this, Pfizer Global Security conducted a study in May 2011 to see how many top ranking online pharmacies were selling counterfeits. Eighty-one percent of the top 26 sites claiming to sell VIAGRA manufactured by Pfizer were selling fakes*.
When you buy VIAGRA online, there are a few things you need to look out for. Follow these steps to help make sure that you buy from a legitimate online pharmacy:
- Make sure the website requires a valid prescription. It’s illegal to sell VIAGRA without a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional.
- Make sure you see a US Address and Phone Number. This can help you make sure the website is not selling unregulated medication from overseas.
- Check if they claim to sell “Generic VIAGRA.” The FDA has never approved the so-called “generic VIAGRA” you see for sale online-it’s illegal and it may cause you harm.
- VIAGRA only comes in 3 doses. 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. VIAGRA is a tablet. Any other form, like “fast-dissolving”, “extra-strength” or “soft-tab” is a fake.
Another way to buy safely is to look for Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites® (VIPPS®). A VIPPS® Accreditation ensures the website you are purchasing from is secure and reliable.

VIAGRA is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BELOW.
Do not take VIAGRA if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.
Discuss your general health status with your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. If you experience chest pain, nausea, or any other discomforts during sex, seek immediate medical help.
In the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.
If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25 mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48-hour period.
In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including VIAGRA) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA, and call a doctor right away.
Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been rarely reported in people taking PDE5 inhibitors, including VIAGRA. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking VIAGRA and contact a doctor right away.
If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of VIAGRA.
VIAGRA should not be used with other treatments that cause erections. VIAGRA should not be used with REVATIO as REVATIO contains sildenafil, the same medicine found in VIAGRA.
VIAGRA does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
The most common side effects of VIAGRA are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.
Please see full prescribing information for VIAGRA (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg) tablets.
