We discourage members from discussing off-shore pharmacies on the forum since some of them are pretty sketchy, and since allowing such discussions will make the forum attractive to spammers. But, you probably don't need to go offshore if you know what to ask your doctor to prescribe.
The active ingredient in Viagra is sildenafil. Viagra is quite expensive but generic sildenafil is actually fairly cheap (at least compared to Viagra).
Even if you still had insurance it probably wouldn't cover generic sildenafil but it is inexpensive enough for most guys to afford to pay cash (which Viagra is not.)
It's a little bit tricky to get the prescript
ion written correctly. The generic sildenafil is, technically,
not a generic version of Viagra. It is a a generic for a different drug called Revatio for which the patent has expired. Revatio is used to treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (not erectile dysfunction) but
it is exactly the same drug as is in Viagra just at a different dose. Viagra contains 50 or 100 mg of sildenafil while Revatio contains only 20mg. You have to take the generic pills two to five at a time to get the same dose but but five 20mg generic sildenafil pills costs about
three bucks if you shop around while a 50mg Viagra costs an arm and a leg and your left testicle.
If your doctor writes the prescript
ion for Viagra the pharmacy cannot dispense generic sildenafil. Your doctor has to write the scrip for sildenafil 20mg (as needed). You can check
GoodRx for some prices at your local pharmacies.
