We believe that any online user before purchasing medications from typical online pharmacy should receive complete information about this pharmacy's
- Shipping Policy.
- Refund Policy.
- Terms of Use.
- Privacy policy.
- Clear description of pharmaceutical products! (E.g. if seliingl generic viagra, it should be clearly indicated as "Generic viagra " and not as "viagra".
- Clear pricing policy. Not acceptable is pricing for "dosage". Only prices per pills can be allowed. E.g. if offering viagra 100mg, website should state "price for 1 pill of viagra 100mg", and not "price for 50mg dosage".
- Pharmacy location and address.
- Hours of Operation.
- Secured payment page with at least 128k bit SSL certificate.
Based on the above recommendations you can protect both your wallet and your health from fraudulent online pharmacies and those with unclear terms, such as tricky product description and unsecured payment process. Very often while analyzing various pharmacies we see such thing as “dosage pricing”. Beware, that dosage does not mean one pill. If price is quoted for dosage this often means that actual price for one pill could be twice as higher (!). Pay attention on this detail.
Let's talk about choice between brand and generic.
Be careful even if you decided to purchase brand medication instead of generic to protect yourself from low quality of latter. Recently, we discovered large number of online pharmacies claiming to sell so called Super viagra or viagra Professional, viagra Pro, Mega viagra, etc, as brand. Note that brand viagra CAN BE SOLD ONLY as viagra and it is produced by Pfizer manufacturer. Everything else regardless under what name it is sold is GENERICS.
Generic drugs do not mean bad. Indeed, generics cost much less than brands and therefore are more affordable for public. However, if online pharmacy markets generic viagra as e.g. “viagra Pro” and sells it at brand prices, this pharmacy is a violation of certain rules and policies and we strongly suggest refraining from using such online vendors.
Average price for Brand viagra:
We researched a large number of online pharmacies and concluded that average price for BRAND viagra is in range of $5.50 and $15.00 per 100mg pill. Why such large spread in prices? First of all a lot depends from what pharmacy you place an order with either directly from licensed pharmacy or their affiliate. By purchasing brand medications from licensed pharmacy you bear absolutely no risk, except of maybe risk of overpricing. Next factor is quantity. As more pills you per order as lower price per pill you get.
Average price for Generic viagra:
Average price for Generic Viagra is in range of $1.5 and $4.50 per 100mg pill. Factors that influence pricing for generics are the same as for brand.
However, a lot depends from actual manufacturer. Remember that brand viagra is developed by Pfizer ONLY, while generics are mostly produced by certified manufacturers such as Unicure Remedies and Shreya Life Sciences in India . Purchasing generic viagra developed by those manufacturers is risk free due to 100% warranty they place on this product. Such warranty certifies that such generic viagra has exact same ingredients and works exactly as brand viagra. We strongly suggest contacting online pharmacy prior to placing order and ask for name of the manufacturer of their generics.
In addition, many countries have large number of patented names of chemical formula named Sildenafil, such as Zenegra or Tadalis. If this is the case you are ordering so called “brand generic” meaning very high quality generic viagra. However, the price for those will be slightly higher than for simple generic viagra. In most cases based only on price you can identify yourself what kind of product offered by online pharmacies.
