PostHeaderIcon Sildenafil: Marketed as a Dietary Supplement?

In the United States, Sildenafil citrate or more popularly known as Viagra is a prescription-only medicine which means that the pharmacy can only issue the same to the buyer if the latter presents a prescription duly signed licensed physician. However, drug manufacturers can circumvent the strict laws buy adulterating the compound and selling it as a dietary supplement. Instead of the drug standard (molar concentration, active ingredient, percentage of other ingredients, and the like), these manufacturers compound the active ingredient with other substances to form an entirely new compound which they can sell as dietary supplements in the market.

Aside from erectile dysfunction medicines, there are also reported adulterated forms of anti-diabetes and anti-hypertension drugs. These are very dangerous compounds because the efficiency, side-effects, contraindications, and other properties of these new compounds and combinations have not yet been researched and scientifically studied.

When you want to buy anti-impotency medicines at a much lower cost and without prescription, you better buy them from reputable online pharmacies. The generic version of Sildenafil is still much better than the adulterated one. Companies creating generic medicine follow the standards created by the original manufacturer of the drug. Some also based their manufacturing standards with the ones devised by government regulatory agencies. Manufacturers of the adulterated forms use the active ingredient of the anti-impotency medication and mix it with other compounds. The end-result is an entirely new compound that has not yet been studied.

If you want to Buy Levitra Online for sexual enhancement purposes, it is highly advisable that you get the generic version sold in online pharmacies and not the adulterated versions. While there is a risk in using prescription drugs, the risk is higher for people using adulterated versions sold as dietary supplements. While the government is busy protecting the big pharmaceutical firms from producers and sellers of generic medicines, it failed to notice that the adulterated versions sold as dietary supplements poses a bigger and much graver threat to the well-being of the people.
