MANILA, Philippines - Erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition closely associated with diabetes and vascular diseases, is prevalent among Filipino men. Most, however, choose to conceal and bear with it for fear of revealing their condition to anyone, even their doctors.

Moreover, the available sildenafil citrate drugs widely used to treat ED are often expensive. This perhaps explains why most Filipinos with ED opt to endure their condition instead of seeking treatment.

Patients looking for an accessible solution for ED may find one in PascualLab’s new egg-shaped sildenafil to regain their sexual confidence without the financial burden.

For starters, the drug is made with an egg-shaped appearance to make it more distinct and easy to identify. When patients see or purchase this egg-shaped sildenafil, they will know immediately that it is PascualLab’s sildenafil.

Furthermore, most ED drugs are rather expensive; patients looking for treatment often resort to cheaper drugs that, unknown to them, may be fake or counterfeit and potentially harmful.

Boyet Arellano, vice president of Pascual Pharma Corp., explains that with the unique egg-shape of PascualLab’s sildenafil drug, patients will find it easier to distinguish an affordable and genuine brand of sildenafil from those that are counterfeit.

To ensure the quality of drugs available in the market, Arellano also advises men to always buy their medications from reputable drug stores and be wary of people who peddle cheap drugs.

Thanks to the egg-shaped, best-priced sildenafil being offered by the 65-year pharmaceutical veteran PascualLab, Filipino men no longer need to feel shame when suffering from ED.

The sildenafil citrate brand of Pascual Laboratories is available in Mercury Drug, Watson’s and other major drug stores nationwide.

This product is approved for sale by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration as a prescription drug and should only be purchased with a prescription. For inquiries, call 491-7888 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays to Fridays.
