Italian pharmacists on Viagra strike?

Lady lawmakers imposing unreasonable regulations to block your prescription? Don't worry, all you need to do is head to Argentina to score some free Viagra, courtesy of the Argentinian state of Santa Fe.

The province's state-run pharmaceutical factory is gearing up to produce generic sildenafil for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, as well as a pediatric formulation for treating pulmonary hypertension.

Health Minister Miguel Cappiello told the media that "They're moving forward on the trials to produce sildenafil, which will be distributed free among those who need it, to deal with different conditions within the framework of the public policies on the production of medications."

What about Pfizer's patent, you ask? Good question. U.S. patent courts ruled that Pfizer's patent in the form of Viagra to treat ED is good till 2019. But this is Argentina, hombre! Pfizer lost their Latin America patents a long time ago. Viva Viagra indeed!
