The medical side of my brain is slightly peeved that grant called sildenafil the "off brand" of Viagra even though it's actually the official name of the drug, and viagra is just one of many brand names of sildenafil lol

[@AStrangeWindmill]

That's the American healthcare system for you; if its reasonably priced, we don't know anything about it and assume it's not as good.

[@MagmaRiver]

To be fair Grant would only have been reading what Nick had written there

[@romxxii]

​@@AStrangeWindmill you seriously need a generic drug law.

[@nobodyspecial9]

It's not simply cheaper, it's astronomically so. You're paying more by a factor of 10 or more for Pfizer's brand name. Also, paper envelopes are how many loose tablets are dispensed in many countries. As long as you follow proper storage guidelines it doesn't hurt the drugs, and it's cheaper and less polluting than other packaging options.

[@LaMadriguera]

Also, Viagra is overpriced, lol

Fun fact: Sildenafil (Viagra) was originally meant as an anti-hypertensive. It works by making the blood vessels dilate to decrease the pressure inside them. A side effect people noticed is it also affects the blood vessels feeding the erectile tissue of the penis. Now it's still used for hypertension and other related diseases, but it's also used for its more well-known purpose.
