KIRKLAND, QC -- March 24, 1999 -- Pfizer Canada Inc.'s Viagra(TM) (sildenafil citrate), approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), will be available in Canadian pharmacies tomorrow, March 25, 1999. Pfizer initially projected that widespread availability might not occur until the end of March, but special effort at the company's manufacturing facility in Arnprior, ON., where the packaging is being done, allowed that target to be beaten by almost a week. The amount of Viagra initially produced for Canada has been based on Pfizer's American experience. Using statistics from the first nine months of availability of Viagra in the U.S., Pfizer Canada expects that approximately 300,000 Canadian men with ED may seek treatment over the same period here. Viagra is the first in a new class of medications, known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors, that improve blood flow to the penis. Viagra is available only by prescription in three strengths (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg).
