How many Viagra tablets are sold in the U.S.?
Sales figures for Viagra (sildenafil) in the U.S. are typically reported as part of the broader “sildenafil” market and are not always broken out publicly as a single, definitive number for one year. The most reliable, regularly updated public references usually come from industry tracking and company filings rather than a single government dataset.
Who sells Viagra in the U.S., and where does revenue show up?
Viagra is sold in the U.S. by Pfizer’s branded commercial organization and is reflected in Pfizer’s U.S. and global revenue reporting for its Established Products portfolio (with exact allocations depending on the reporting year and product segment).
What affects Viagra U.S. sales (generic competition, pricing, demand)?
U.S. sales of Viagra have been heavily affected by generic sildenafil entry, since generics generally lower pricing and shift volume. Other demand drivers include:
- Patient preference and formulary coverage
- Availability of competing ED treatments (including other branded PDE5 inhibitors and combination approaches)
- Public awareness and physician prescribing trends
Is Viagra’s U.S. demand still growing?
Demand for erectile dysfunction treatments can grow even when branded sales slow, because:
- The total ED-treatment market can expand with diagnosis and prescribing.
- Patients may switch between brands and generics based on coverage and price.
That said, branded Viagra’s growth depends on whether it can maintain share versus generics and competing therapies.
Patent/exclusivity context: when did branded Viagra lose protection?
If you’re looking for the background on why branded sales faced strong pressure, DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity events by product and can help connect sales trends to legal timelines.

What exact number are you trying to find?
“Viagra USA sales” can mean different things: total units sold, U.S. revenue, prescription volume, or market share. If you tell me the year range (for example, “2019–2023”) and what metric you want (units vs. revenue vs. prescriptions), I can narrow the likely sources and provide a more targeted answer based on what is publicly available.
