Cost of ED meds.

After almost a year on ADT it's finally time to get some pharmaceutical assistance. ED meds are not covered by my insurance (Blue Cross) so they want to charge me $700 for 40 20mg tablets of sildanafil. This dosage was prescribed so I could experiment with dosages and possibly avoid side effects like headache, tinnitus, etc. There's got to be some other, cheaper, way to obtain these meds. How and where are men getting these drugs? A side question, are you finding any of the foreign sources (e.g. Canada) to be reliable and to have good quality meds?

I used a place called FUSION RX COMPOUNDING that makes drugs for a lot less . I’m not sure about the process but it’s the same active ingredients in a different form ( more like a lozenge than a pill) I have no affiliation with them and the urology dept at UCLA suggested I use them . I know they ship to most states . Here is the contact info for you to do your own research :

I use alldaychemists.com in India - I've always found their quality is good.

I got mine from India as well online. Very reasonable and good quality!

I've gotten silagra from India. Much cheaper and good quality.

If they charged you $70 for 40, they would be making good money

I've gotten some great tips on alternative sources from people here and will be taking advantage of them soon. Frankly, this is only one tool in the tool box. There are so many ways to give pleasure to a woman. My wife and I have been having a lot of fun with the other tools (so to speak) so regaining this one dropped in priority. But now that I have some affordable choices we might as well pursue it.
