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.
