Tagamet is a perscription drug in Canada. (I think you said it is over-the-counter in the US.) Is there anything else (safe and cheap) that will work ??
I'm crossing the border this wknd. so I should be able to pick some up.
just trying to plan ahead.for your reference - I cut my 100 mg. tabs into 6th's and still get a good bang for my buck. I even notice a bit of a whiz when I lick the crumbs off the cutting board !!
thanks

There are a number of P-450 drugs that go thru the same metabolic pipeline as Viagra / Tagamet. However, they are all more serious drugs that range from heart drugs to toxic malaria antibiotics that preclude being used for this. Tagamet is like manna from heaven in that regard because its safe (as drugs go), over the counter (in the US), cheap (like 3 or 4 bucks for about 24-30 tabs) and reliable. No substitute P-450 drug comes remotely close when considering all the factors. So no, there really isn’t anything close as far as you are concerned, sorry.
Too bad Canada did’nt release it OTC. I can’t advise you on potential customs snags, except to tell you you got the better end of the deal, cuz you can buy a Cuban cigar anytime you want. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Of course, you can buy ‘em and smuggle ‘em….not like I have ever done that with any Habana Bolivar robustos, hehehe!
There seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence on the boards supporting that 25 mg works for them. Like all other things, I believe what I see here before I believe what I read, so I defer. Remember, the Pfizer study was dealing with strictly ED patients, not otherwise healthy PE’ers.
