Generic ED Meds - Avigra

Generic ED Meds active Ingrediant: Sildenafil.

Avigra (Sildenafil) offers the same highly effective results as Pfizer’s well-known oral treatment for erectile dysfunction - Viagra, but now there is even more to smile about, with the added benefit of substantially reduced cost. Until now, the cost of treatment has prevented some men from receiving the help they needed. With Generic ED Meds such as Avigra (Sildenafil), making it much more affordable and meaning more men may once again know the joys of an active and rewarding sex life. The little blue pill called Viagra (sildenafil citrate) which revolutionised the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and made a positive impact on men’s sexual health has now become more affordable.

With the New Zealand patent period on Viagra expiring in June 2012, the market will soon be open to generic medicines. Pfizer, the makers of Viagra, will now also sell this medicine in New Zealand under a second brand called Avigra (Sildenafil). Avigra (Sildenafil) will provide the thousands of Kiwi men currently using Viagra with a more affordable option, plus the confidence they’ll be receiving the same quality of medicine from the makers of Viagra, the most prescribed treatment for ED in New Zealand since its launch in 1998. "Because Viagra still remains patented throughout most of the world, by launching a second brand in a generic market it allows us to provide the same quality of medicine as Viagra at a more competitive price," says Frances Benge, Head of Primary Care, Pfizer New Zealand Limited.

Until now the cost of treatment for ED has prevented some men from receiving it. The price of Generic ED Meds, like Avigra (Sildenafil), will be substantially less than the price of Viagra, making it more affordable and allowing more men to access treatment for a healthier sex. Prices will vary from pharmacy to pharmacy. Viagra will still be available in New Zealand at a competitive price for those men who prefer to remain on it. The active ingredient in Avigra (Sildenafil) has helped more than 37 million men in 120 countries reclaim their sex lives by improving the hardness of their erection.

Special Features

stimulated but an enzyme called PDE5 causes them to breakdown and hence relaxing it. Generic ED Meds, such as Avigra (Sildenafil), works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme therefore maintaining levels of cGMP, helping you 
achieve and maintain an erection when you're stimulated.
