Viagra, used by millions of men to treat erectile dysfunction, loses its patent in the UK on June 21, meaning rival manufacturers will legally be able to produce the little blue pill under its generic name, sildenafil.

Use of Viagra in the UK is on the up, with the number of British men prescribed the drug rising to a record high of 2.3m last year, from 1.8m in 2007.

Currently a fifth of prescriptions for the drug are issued privately because the NHS has put strict limits on its use at the taxpayer's expense. Pfizer's loss of the patent will mean that the NHS, which spent £40.3m on the drug last year, will make big savings, Generic makers of the drug are expected to slash the price of a pill from £10 to as little as 85p.

Viagra was Pfizer's sixth best selling drug last year, generating $2.05bn (£1.35bn) in global revenues, up 4pc on 2011. The company will launch its own cut-price version - Sildenafil Pfizer - in a bid to retain its market share.

Sales of Pfizer's highly profitable drug Lipitor, used to tackle high cholesterol, plummeted to $3.95bn last year from $9.6bn in 2011 after the drug lost its patent protection in November 2011.

Go out, pull a broad and get lucky while looking like a stallion!
 
It's been available for less than the price of a coffee for years on the web, I don't see what difference this will make apart from to the NHS

Is the intense rush of blood to your penis depriving your fingers of the required blood to type accurately?

Wasn't available on the NHS unless you have specific medical problems like diabetes for example. Good news for a lot of people who are either having to pay for private prescriptions or those who have to resort to buying online.
 
I can't believe that there are so many people that need to use this.

I know a guy who sells the stuff, well that gel stuff. He told me that its a load of bull and doesn't work. It;s just in peoples minds lol. I guess if you are willing to buy things illegally then you get what's coming to you. He said the only stuff that does properly work is the medical stuff the doctor prescribes to you.
