So what do you do when your drug for erectile dysfunction is the most illegally copied pharmaceutical drug product on the market? You sell it to consumers directly on its web site in order to establish a presence in the huge online market for the popular blue pill.
Viagra Online Advertising
I can’t tell you the endless amount of advertising to cheap Viagra online. Most of those are fake pills since you do need a prescription to purchase Viagra. There are some Canadian pharmacies that do ship the real blue pill to the US but they are few and far between. In an arrangement with CVS/pharmacy, men in the United States with a valid prescription for Viagra are able to fill their order through the Pfizer web site, where the sentence “Buy real Viagra” is featured prominently. Men will still need to visit a doctor, but they won’t have to go up to the counter and be asked questions from a young female pharmacist. No embarrassment factor, no giggles, and no worry of what pharmacists will think of you. Check out the link below for usage.

Why Sell Online?
Pfizer did this for what I think are the 2 best reasons. First, it is to prevent counterfeiters from selling fake Viagra pills on the market. There are some statistics that show that 80% of the Viagra pills bought without a prescription are fake. Pfizer from time to time will buy some pills for testing. Samples of counterfeit Viagra tested by Pfizer labs had contained “pesticides, wallboard, commercial paint and printer ink”. So if you get sick, you blame Pfizer not the shady website that sold you the counterfeit pills. This also is a hit on Pfizer’s reputation.
Think about this, the average list price for Viagra is about $22 a pill, while many online pharmacies sell it for about $10 and you can make it illegally for 30 cents a pill. No wonder it is so well counterfeited. So if you make it harder for counterfeiters to get access to demand, the illegal supply will dwindle. There will always be some who will still try and avoid the doctor, but the demand is significantly reduced.
Can Viagra really sell?
Secondly, as you may guess is the sales factor. If you can purchase your lifestyle drug online, from a reputable source and anonymously, why wouldn’t you? You can have it shipped to the privacy of your own home in anonymous packaging. All you have to do is have that conversation with your doctor. Viagra appears in about 24 million Internet searches a year; often in phrases like “buy Viagra”. The average amount of prescriptions written is approximately eight million Viagra prescriptions in the United States last year, according to the research firm IMS Health.
You figure that if half the internet searches result in actual prescriptions, then Pfizer increased its sales by 12 million prescriptions. Not bad for sex addicted society. Here is the added bonus, customers who buy Viagra through the Pfizer Web site get three free pills in their first prescription — which typically consists of six pills — and 30 percent off their second prescription. This can be viewed as part of a continuing effort to market drugs directly to consumers, bypassing insurance companies that can be reluctant to pay for so-called lifestyle drugs or that force consumers to pay hefty co-payments.
