WASHINGTON (AP) — Walgreens is warning consumers not to buy the little blue pill when it comes to its competition in the erectile dysfunction market.
The new drugmaker is launching the generic version of Viagra, the little blue pill that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration initially approved in 2010 for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension and enlarged prostate.
The Food and Drug Administration has not indicated whether it is approving generic versions of the drug since January.
Viagra is approved for treating men with the condition, but critics question the drug's safety and efficacy in women, who are more sensitive to the side effects of the pill.
"I think the public should not have any idea what these little blue pills are for," said Michael J. Kass, director of consumer protection at the National Community Pharmacists Association.
Walmart is the first of its kind to approve generic versions of the little blue pill. The company has a history of selling prescription medications in the United States.
Under FDA guidelines, the drugs are not approved for use in women, but the pill is still being studied and may be given for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Viagra is approved for the treatment of men with pulmonary arterial hypertension, or high blood pressure in the lungs.
But critics say Viagra is risky for women, especially when combined with the drug's sedative effects.
"I'm not sure that women should be treated with Viagra in combination with nitrates or recreational drugs that are not approved by the FDA," said Sheryl Kingsberg, a urologist and the author of several new research studies.
The drugs are not yet approved for use in women, but the pill has been used in the past for erectile dysfunction, enlarged prostate and high blood pressure in men. But doctors say the drugs may be used to treat the condition, which may become more common among women after menopause.
Viagra is approved for the treatment of the conditions, but critics question the drug's safety and efficacy in women, who are more sensitive to the side effects of the pill.
The pill is not approved for use in women, but the pill is still being studied and may be given for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Viagra and other older erectile dysfunction drugs are sold under the names Levitra and Cialis.
Both drugs work by relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis. When blood flows to the penis, a man gets an erection. When blood flow to the penis is decreased, the penis stops making urine.
Viagra is approved for the treatment of men with the condition, but critics question the drug's safety and efficacy in women, who are more sensitive to the side effects of the pill.
Viagra was approved by the FDA for treatment of erectile dysfunction in 1990, and the drug was developed by Cialis and marketed as a pill to be taken only when needed. The drug's patent expires in 2014.
Cialis has been on the market since 2003. The drug has a longer half-life than Viagra and is only available with a doctor's prescription.
Viagra's patent has expired, so Cialis is now approved only for treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Viagra is also being marketed under the name Levitra. The drug was developed by Bayer and sold under the name Cialis because it is more appealing to men.
Levitra, which is available as a generic drug and as a brand-name drug, is the only drug that the FDA has approved to treat erectile dysfunction.
The drugs' side effects also include dizziness, drowsiness and insomnia, according to the agency.
The FDA says the drug is safe and effective for women, but critics say it may cause serious side effects in men.
"There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that Viagra is unsafe for use in women," said Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler, a urologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
"I would be hesitant to buy it over the counter, especially if there are no signs it could cause serious problems for women."
Some women have reported sexual side effects with Viagra, but the drug is not approved for women.
In January, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter advising patients not to purchase prescription drugs covered by the Affordable Care Act, which includes insurance plans that do not include a prescription drug benefit.
Under the Affordable Care Act, plans that cover prescription drugs covered by these plans do not include coverage for a new medication called a generic version of the prescription drug Viagra. However, the FDA’s letter also prohibits consumers from purchasing a generic version of the drug without their health insurance.
The letter, issued by the Office of the Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, advises that consumers, in the wake of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, should be informed of the availability of generic versions of the drug. It also urges patients to speak with their health care providers before taking any generic Viagra or sildenafil (Viagra Connect®) pills.
In January, the Office of the Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) also issued a letter advising patients not to purchase generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®) capsules, or any combination of Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any generic version of the drug that does not include prescription drug benefits. These warnings are effective for as long as the drug is covered under a plan that does not include generic drug benefits.
FDA officials said that the agency is requiring the generic manufacturers of generic Viagra to submit to the National Drug Code (NDC) that includes the generic version of the drug that they believe is covered by the FDA’s letter.
In the letter, the Office of the Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) states that, “Patients must not purchase generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any combination of the two. They must also not purchase generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any generic version of Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any combination of the two. They must also not purchase generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any generic version of Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any combination of the two.”
In the letter, the Office of the Director of the CDER states that “the FDA has issued an advisory advising patients not to purchase generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any combination of the two, and that patients should not use the drugs if they are taking nitrate-based drugs for angina, heart attacks, or high blood pressure.”
In January, the FDA issued a letter advising patients that they should not take generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any combination of the two. They should also not purchase generic Viagra, sildenafil (Viagra Connect®), or any combination of the two.
The letter also notes that, “while there are concerns of a potential increased incidence of cardiovascular events, the FDA has not identified a significant increased risk of heart attack or stroke in the setting of the drug.”
