Viagra costs more than other erectile dysfunction medications because it's a brand-name drug, while sildenafil is the cheaper, generic version.
Drug companies spend a lot on research, development, and marketing, so they get a patent-a time period where only they can sell the drug. Without competition, they set higher prices.
Once the patent expires, other companies can sell the same medication at lower prices, making the market more competitive. Generic drugs like sildenafil usually cost 70-90% less than the brand-name version.
