The Truth About VIAGRA Spam
Spam accounts for 50-60 billion messages per day, or about 80% of all email sent. And counterfeiters who send spam will often use the names VIAGRA and Pfizer illegally to pretend they’re legitimate. VIAGRA spam can put your health at risk by offering fake pills, and can also:
- Infect your computer with a virus
- Capture your email address for other spammers to use
- Trick you into revealing credit card numbers or other personal information that could lead to identity theft
The best thing to do with VIAGRA spam is to delete it without opening it.
Remember, recommendations for prescription medicine should always come from your doctor first, not your inbox.
Coupons for VIAGRA: Another Trick of the Trade
One way counterfeiters try to get your attention is by promoting coupon codes or special offers online. They often use these deceptive offers to get you to buy their fake medicines.
If you see an offer online, check that it’s coming from a VIPPS®-accredited website to be sure that it’s legitimate. If you receive a coupon for VIAGRA and are not sure that it’s legitimate, call our support line at 1-888-4-VIAGRA (1-888-484-2472).

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.
