Canada is one of the most popular countries for overseas travel and immigration. More than 350,000 men out of the country’s population of just over 35 million are currently registered on the Canadian Register of Medical Devices. The country also features prominently in the popular imagination as a winter wonderland with incredible skiing and a warm welcome for those from the UK.
However, like many other countries, Canada has an issue with healthcare tourism. For those who can pay for medical treatment, the country’s healthcare is certainly world-class. But for those who cannot afford it, the system is often overpriced and underperforming.
If you’re one of the many thousands of men who rely on viagra to keep up with your sex life, you’re in luck. While generic viagra is available over the counter, Canadian pharmacists have to actually prescribe it. So while you might be able to get your hands on a bottle of the drug without a prescription, it won’t do you any good without a medical exam first.
Viagra Is Available OTC
Viagra is one of the most well-known drugs of abuse within mainstream medicine. Since its introduction in the late 1980s, it has been around for over three decades and continues to be a popular choice among those who want to boost their sex drive. While it’s been available OTC for those who want to try it without a prescription, Viagra can only be prescribed by a doctor if you want to get any real benefit out of it.
Viagra is a PDE5 drug, which stands for ‘Phosphodiesterase Type 5′. As the name would suggest, the medication works by increasing the amount of cyclic GMP in the body. Cyclic GMP is a substance that naturally occurs within the walls of your penis. It helps relax your muscles and allows blood to flow freely into your ejaculatory ducts. When blood flows more freely into your reproductive organs, it helps you stay hard for longer. Your orgasm will also be more intense.
The science behind Viagra is quite fascinating, and a worthwhile read if you’re into that sort of thing. You can find all the information you need on Medline Plus, the National Institutes of Health website.
Generic Viagra Is Still Out Of Reach
If you’re looking for a short-term fix for your erectile dysfunction, you might want to try a generic alternative. Since the launch of viagra in the late 1980s, generic versions of the drug have appeared, offering a quick and cheap alternative to branded viagra. While there are several different generic alternatives to Viagra, they are all classified as modified sildenafil and have not been approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction.
Even with these slightly modified versions of sildenafil, getting authentic Viagra is still out of reach for most people. The only way to get your hands on the real thing is by convincing a doctor to prescribe it to you. While there are several online pharmacies which will ship your Viagra order to you cheaply and discreetly, the best price you’re going to get is from a Canadian pharmacy. The majority of them are located in and around Toronto, so if you’re based there, consider hopping over to Toronto for better healthcare. Otherwise, you might have to settle for an imposter. The quality might be similar, but it will not be the same as the real thing.
The best way to understand why Canada is the optimum place to buy medication is by looking at its tax system. When you purchase medication from a reputable Canadian pharmacy, you are paying for both the medication and the service. The service is pretty self-explanatory; you’re getting the medication delivered to your home. But what is tax? Well, when you purchase medication (with a few exceptions, such as insulin and some antibiotics) from a reputable Canadian pharmacy, you are able to claim back some or all of the costs associated with the medication. For instance, let’s say you spent $600 on a generic Viagra and service, that would mean you’re able to claim back $400 from the government (in this case, the Canadian government). Nowadays, with the growing number of retail pharmacies selling medication online, the benefits of claiming back medication costs are even more apparent. When you buy medication online, you are not paying for the service of having it delivered to your home. You are, however, paying for a rather expensive dinner, or even a whole room at a hotel. Sometimes, those dinner companionships can be a whole lot of fun, but expensive in the long-run. So while you might be able to save a little money buying medication online, it’s definitely not the best idea if you want to save the most money possible.
Not all Canadian pharmacies are created equal. Some of them have horrible reputations for selling drugs which are either expired or unsafe. If you’re not sure where to buy medication from, try a Canadian pharmacy or retail store which has a good reputation. In the meantime, if you want to try a Canadian pharmacy but don’t have the money to spend on medication, consider buying a pack of Viagra cheap enough for a trial order. If you decide that the medication is helping you, you can either continue to buy the same dose or increase it. You won’t hurt yourself by trying out the medication once or twice before making a decision about whether or not it’s helping you. Just make sure you’re not taking any risks by doing so. Always consult with a physician before changing your medication dose or trying a new medication.
