What's Up With The Price Of Cialis?


Recommended Posts

Suddenly, a couple months ago, the price of Cialis went through the roof. It's now around $40/pill. WTF?

 

(the screenshot below is for 10 pills @ 20mg)

I can only imagine that sales must have plummeted since then. What in the hell is the manufacturer thinking pricing it so high? I mean even if you split the 20mg pill in two - that's still $20 per dose. It needs to be more like $5/dose (or less).

 

Does anyone have recommendations on where real Cialis can be gotten at a reasonable price? Maybe a Canadian pharmacy? I don't quite trust random, online pharmacies. So I'd like to know who people use and trust.

My personal guess is that the prices were raised to increase profits in a time when more people are starting to have prescription coverage that will usually cover at least part of the cost of the drug.

I noticed the same thing. My doctor sells Viagra at a much lower price so I switched.

 

 

Have you also tried Levitra/Staxyn/Vivanza? (all essentially the same drug marketed under different names)

 

The thing I liked about Cialis was that it lasted for a few days. So if your trick didn't show up, it would still work for another trick the next day. That, and Viagra gave me weird headaches and shit. I'll call my doc and see if he can prescribe Levitra. I haven't tried that yet. But I don't know how long in advance I should take it. Guess I could experiment before sex parties since they go on for a while.

kind of on this topic, my friends and I have both noticed some wierd things going on with drug pricing as of late.  Some are halfed in cost while others double, etc.  I stand by my previous statement and think that insurers and drug companies are starting to change pricing as they get used to the ACA.

My doctor suggested 5mg Cialis daily.  He said you would feel 20 again.  Well, it works well. Very well.  Living in Canada, I get it for $125 for 28 pills.  My drug benefits cover $100 of it, so works out very well for me $25 per month.   I don't know why our drug costs are so low compared to the US.  I guess everything else is priced high, so they give us a break on medication??

Countries with universal care negotiote the price of drugs.  Drug companies also know that while some treatments may work, the only place really in the world they can get away with charging what they do is in the US.

For those without a prescription - any recommendations? My favorite online pharmacy stopped shipping ED drugs so now I'm looking for a recommendation  - not just a google search. Feel free to private message me if you like instead of posting. Any assistance would be appreciated guys. Thank you.

I think even that is high. When the viagra patent expired in Europe in 2014, prices per dose dropped to around 1.20 - 2.50 Euros per dose.

 

So I'd say that 1.50 - 3.00 Euros per dose for Cialis should be realistic when the patent expires here in 2017.
