It needs prescription, correct?



In the US, it does but the bar is laughably low. For example, you can get a prescription on blewchew.com which gets "reviewed" by their "consulting physicians" and have it in hand in a day or two.


In the UK you can get it over the counter since a couple years back afaik.


It's possible to order it from Indian pharmacies or one can pick it up while on vacation in the third world.


Yes, but how do you know what it really is? Plenty of legit generics have been found to be complete bunk,(1) let alone gray market ED drugs. Other generics have high levels of cancer causing contaminates. Eg TMAO in metformin, chantix, ranitidine, and more. 2

You can also buy these things as research chemical but same question as above.

Always remember, made in USA is likely a misdirection. You buy this stuff in bulk off of Alibaba like sites, buy some made in USA containers, repackage it in the USA and now you can claim the whole thing is “made in USA.”

Some of these places will list chemical analysis of their drugs but who knows what they tested what they send? Also, when did they test, who tested it? Etc. would love to hear if anyone has figured this out.

Just some quick references off the top of my head,

1 - bottle of lies, book or Ted talk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=si2M93gZy1E&pp=ygU5Ym90dGxlIG9...

2-valisure, commercial entity that tests for contaminants. https://www.valisure.com/ Also labadoor, consumerlab.com and others

3- John Abramson did an interesting Rogan interview a while back


All of the big drug companies have factories in India. Buying powder on Alibaba will be a much different experience.


Which is why every package I get from India (to Canada) goes through heavy inspection, to the point that most/all Indian pharmacies just won’t ship here anymore.


In the US, yeah, but arguably it shouldn't be. Probably the only good reason for controlling it is risk of priapism from people using it stupidly, which is an extremely bad "go to the ER now" condition.


Over the counter in Brazil.


And a month's supply of generic tadafila 5mg in Brasil costs less than USD$7.00


ummmmmm... no offense if you have dementia and i have no easy way to ask about it, sorry this question is personal and you could easily just be asking for a friend
