Mechanism of Viagra action
Each Viagra pill contains an active pharmaceutical ingredient Sildenafil which has pharmacological property to increase natural physiological processes that provide a sufficient blood flow to the penis. Namely intensive blood supply in erectile tissue of the penis provides an erection during male sexual arousal.
Given that Sildenafil is not a sexual stimulant, it provides blood flow to the erectile tissue only in response to sexual stimulation of the penis. If a man is able to achieve an erection but he is not satisfied with its quality, Sildenafil can increase blood flow to the penis in response to visual sexual stimuli.

Viagra pills at the international pharmaceutical market
Viagra has become the world's first oral drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The USA was the first country where Viagra drug has been available in retail sale. U.S. pharmaceutical market is the largest in the world. So, it is not surprising that more than half of the total Viagra sales is registered in the USA.
Despite the fact that besides Viagra, other oral drugs are also available in sale for erectile dysfunction treatment, sales of Viagra pills annually grow. In 2012, Viagra sales all over the world reached $2 billion. However, many experts express their opinion that sales of Viagra pills will start to decrease in 2013.
Reduction of Viagra sales can be due to the increase of competition from the cheaper Viagra generic drugs. For several years, in most of the EU member states Viagra generic drugs have been available for sale and their cost is much more lower than Viagra pills (Pfizer manufacturer).
In European countries, Viagra generics are available for sale under generic name Sildenafil and original trade names: Amfidor, Sildafil, Ecriten, Arifil, Licosil, Erasilton, Sildeagil, Falsigra, Sildenamed, Sildifil, Sildogen, Sildrem, Silfchemia, Silkodil, Silmen, Silobel, Fildlata, Sinegra, Valedonis, Vizarsin, Lekap, Zildrem, Rosytona, Silderec, Vilgendra, Yextor.
Viagra generic drugs are sold not only in Europe, but also in Mexico under original trade names: Lerk Jet, Apodefil, Sforza, Go, Visdonec, Silcarex, Sindebax, Bullenza, Exzalte, Mazzogran, G4, Patrex. One of the few countries where Viagra generic drugs are not yet available is the USA.
It is noteworthy that several pharmaceutical companies (Teva, Watson, Hetero Labs, Apotex, Mylan, Actavis, Amneal) have been trying to get a trade license for sale Viagra generic drugs in the USA over several years.
However, Pfizer claims that these companies cannot sell Viagra generic drugs in the USA, in doing so they will violate patent law. The court will make a final decision on when the first generic drugs will go on sale in the USA.
Today Pfizer company is the only manufacturer of oral pills, containing Sildenafil citrate which has the trade license for their sale in the USA. Therefore, Pfizer is a natural monopolist in this segment of pharmaceutical market. Correspondingly, price for Viagra pills in the USA remains relatively high.
