Found out yesterday even after appeal that insurance will not pay for my Levitra prescription. I have enough free samples to last for three weeks.

Went to All day Chemist website and looked for Levitra I do not see it listed under the search engine for USA/Canada drugs.

What name should I be looking for?

THanks

The generic name for it is Vardenafil, Viagra is Sildenafil Citrate, and Cialis is Tadalafil

Greetings, Lewvino. Just a comment regarding your insurance - mine is the same way. They pay zip regardless of the reason you need the meds. I continue to say at some point I'd like to address this - not for me but for the future guys who will come along in our situation. David

Keep in mind that patents have not yet expired on any ED drug. Therefore there is no 'generic' equivalent yet licensed or approved. Except by the sellers in India. Yeah, it's spendy but that happens when drug companies need to recover their investment.

It does seem strange that the insurance companies won't pay for a rehab pill even upon the Dr. Appeal to them. I'm assuming that insurance would pay for a women's breast reconstruction surgery following breast cancer treatments.
