What should you look for when buying “generic Viagra” in Canada?
When you ask for “generic Viagra,” the pharmacy will usually supply a sildenafil product that matches your prescription. Key things to confirm with the pharmacy are:

- the exact generic (sildenafil) and manufacturer/formulation
- whether it’s being dispensed legally through Canadian channels
