Availability Of Sildenafil In Canada Adds Up To Big Savings For Canadian Patients

Online, January 25, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously overturned a key drug Patent held by Pfizer Canada Inc. for the widely known erectile dysfunction (ED) medication, sildenafil. The case brought forward by TEVA Canada challenged Pfizer's patent on the grounds that it did not disclose the full details of the active component of sildenafil citrate, in its original patent filing.

While this is bad news for Pfizer, which will see the end of its 14-year monopoly of sildenafil, it is great news for patients who rely on this prescription medication. According to David Zimmer, President of The Canadian Pharmacy, an online Canadian pharmacy based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, "for the first time in Canada patients using this prescription medication are now free to choose a generic alternative and save about 50% on the cost of this product."

sildenafil citrate is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Sildenafil was originally developed as a medication to treat high blood pressure. In 2000, Sildenafil sales accounted for 92 percent of the global market for prescribed erectile dysfunction medication.
