None of the rest of them are (other than Viagra). These are probably the medications that are on the formulary (allowed list) for your insurance.

No. Viagra is the only one. I’m not sure what the PA means, but it is probably the only ED oral medication covered. You know there are several oral ED treatments and my guess is that Viagra is the preferred one, meaning it will have the lowest co-pay and if the Dr. writes for another med, they will substitute Viagra for it. Call the insurance co to make sure. They will typically only allow 6-8 tablets a month.

Viagra is very expensive for the insurance to pay for. Try Cialis or Levitra and see what they cover. They all work about the same. But Levitra is the only one that does not give me severe headaches. Best of luck.
