The patent on Viagra is why it was not mass-produced and sold cheap.
I mean, who would have thought that a pill that allows men to have more sex would be popular?
There was no need to ramp up production so you could charge 5 cents per pill rather than 5 dollars. The government rules let you make a fortune by guaranteeing insurance had to pay for it. I am surprised it was not sold at $50 a pill.
You mean that pill that was designed as a, vasodilator, but one side effect was an erection. So, they marketed it as an impotence drug instead of it’s original intention. That drug.
“I am surprised it was not sold at $50 a pill.”
From what I understand, until last year, that WAS about the price per pill, without insurance.
