As long as the big US based companies continue to rip people off, the black market will prosper. Add to it the drug plans that know better than a physician what drugs are good for us. I better stop now or I'll wander into a rule violation.

I pay $.65 a pill for 20mg Cialis. if I bought Cialis from a US pharmacy I would pay about $20 a pill.

I haven't tried anything in years, but am now using a CA place. I agree, as long as the big drug companies charge extremely high prices, the black market will be there. Hopefully the US government can crack down enough to make sure actual medicine is being used.

there are many reputable generics stores off shore. just deal with them. really these articles are nothing more than obvious scare tactics probably funded by big pharma. I don't even take them seriously anymore, and they surface here about once a year.

I've been buying indian generics for years.

Seem consistent, and a guess at about 25% weaker than US.

Whole lot cheaper than 25%.

I'm with F8, believe it scare tactics basically.

Viagra was supposed to go generic a couple of years ago but they got their patent extended. what this did is ensure that no ED drug maker would drop their prices and we continue to pay recreational cocaine prices for a drugs we need to perform a basic function.

you go ahead and put your trust and money into big pharma. i'll stick with India on this one.

Nothing more to say here without crossing lines.

Let's move on to something that is allowed to be discussed.
