This is the result of a lawsuit launched by Teva competitor. It was able to demonstrate that Pfizer has not revealed all the drug formulation against erectile dysfunction.
Generic versions of
Viagra like
Kamagra OR
Kamagra UK costs 30% to 60% less than the asking price so far. The price of the blue pill is valued at $ 5. Teva, which employs around 300 people at its Mirabel, risk to market a generic.

It is too early to detail the price cuts, said Julie-Catherine Racine, head of communications at Pfizer Canada.
The spokesman, however, explained that access to the market and its drug motivates Pfizer to sell cheaper. "We are committed to enabling Canadians who use
Viagra to continue to have access to the brand name drug at a competitive price," she said.
"Viagra has earned an outstanding reputation among consumers who recognize its blue color, diamond-shaped and identification of Pfizer, said Ms. Racine. That is why we are implementing a public campaign to allow patients to ask their pharmacist the original product. "
Pfizer's decision and the arrival of generics is great news for the access to the drug, believes Bertrand Bolduc, pharmacist and president of Galenova council.
