- ceejayoz 5y agoI think the point was less "haha idiot doctors gave a baby viagra" - it was originally discovered in a search for a treatment for chest pain, after all - and more "wtf viagra doesn't cost that much".
- jtbayly 5y agoRight, but the point is the cost. Once you know what it is, you can get a mental model of what it usually costs.
- avianlyric 5y agoIt's the same chemical regardless of brand name. GP was clearly pointing out that Sildenafil citrate bought over the counter as Viagra is extremely cheap, not that they gave a baby Viagra.
