Pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Eli Lilly have faced increasing pressure as patents on their blockbuster drugs, such as Viagra and Cialis, near expiration. In 2020, Pfizer’s Viagra patent will expire, allowing generic versions to enter the market. Eli Lilly's Cialis has already faced competition from generics after settling patent disputes in 2017, and the market is poised for significant changes as more affordable options become available.

Generic drugs like Cialis and Viagra contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name counterparts, but they are significantly cheaper because generic manufacturers do not bear the costs of research, development, and marketing. As more generic versions become available, prices for these erectile dysfunction medications are expected to drop by up to 90%, making them more accessible to consumers.

While US consumers are eagerly awaiting the release of generic drugs in 2020, many are already ordering generics from abroad. The availability of more affordable generics will provide much-needed relief for those seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction.
