Viagra Sells Briskly in Kingdom Despite Reports of Health Risks
M. Ghazanfar Ali Khan, Arab News
—
RIYADH,
29 June 2005 — Saudi Arabia is the Middle East’s largest consumer of
Viagra despite contradictory media reports about its adverse impact on
the human eye. Mohamed Khalifa, Pfizer’s product manager for the Middle
East, said here Monday that the pharmaceutical company had sold Viagra
pills worth SR71 million in Saudi Arabia during the 12 months ending
February 2005. “It seems more Saudis are taking Viagra than any other
men in the Middle East,” said Khalifa, adding that Viagra was the
second top selling drug in Saudi Arabia and the eighth in the UAE.
Khalifa
said that according to experts, increased recreational use of Viagra
was safe and effective for men of all ages, provided patients consult
with their doctors first to determine if the drug was safe for them in
the light of their own individual medical history.
The total market of erectile dysfunction (ED) medicine in Saudi Arabia is worth
SR191 million per year.
More
than 50 percent men over 45 years of age in the Kingdom are suffering
from sexual dysfunction. According to a report, the ED has been
commonly diagnosed among Saudis that affects at least one in 10 of the
adult male population. The report has further revealed that more than
10 percent of Arab men are suffering from sexual impotence, which is
among the highest rates in the world.
On the sale of Viagra in
other countries of the region, Khalifa said that the UAE was the second
largest, followed by Kuwait, Lebanon and Egypt. “Since its launch in
1998, Viagra had remained on top for treatment of ED,” said Khalifa.
“Viagra commands 63 percent of the total ED market worldwide, despite
presence of nine other competing drugs.”
The sale of all kinds of sexual dysfunction drugs in Saudi Arabia and the other
five Gulf states is growing progressively.
Khalifa
said that Viagra was not only leading to ‘better sex’ for couples in
the region but had helped destigmatize the layman’s view of ED. “When
men of all ages and backgrounds feel comfortable approaching their
wives and doctors about their ED without embarrassment or hesitation,
then the world will truly realize the monumental impact the drug has
had on men’s sexual health.”
The growth in the sale of such drugs
is necessitated by the growth in the number of patients suffering from
sexual problems including impotence and ED. The UN estimates that more
than 322 million men will be suffering from ED by the year 2025.
