Can you buy generic viagra over the counter

Men may be able to buy generic Viagra in the US, but many are not aware of the possibility that the product may have been manufactured for sale in other countries, experts said on Tuesday.

He said: "We are very fortunate to be able to supply people with this product for a very long time now, and this is great news for everyone. We have the experience and knowledge to make sure that people can have this medicine and can buy it."

The drug, which is also sold under the brand name Viagra, is the first medicine to be approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction.

The drug is used to treat the symptoms of erectile dysfunction in men, including:
