Even though the benefits of generic Viagra are known throughout the world, the drug is still causing some controversy in certain countries. Nowhere is this more true than in Japan, where the medication was quickly approved and caused an uproar among women’s rights supporters that wish to see low-dosage birth control pills receive the same treatment. Unlike the majority of other first world nations, Japan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare have decided to wait until further review before allowing the birth control pills to enter the market. On the other hand, generic Viagra and other sildenafil medications were approved in a matter of only six months.

The official response is that sildenafil citrate medications should be approved due to the potential risks that could be incurred by men who obtain the pills without a doctor’s permission. Since the medication has become legal, the availability has obviously increased, with standard prices and quality regulation. Currently, buying generic Viagra online in Japan is very easy, with men only needing to fill out a questionnaire about their medical history and health before being approved to purchase the generic Viagra pills. The medication is then sent via the postal service to their mailing addresses.

On the other hand, women argue that the low-dosage birth control pills should be available instead of the high-dosage variation that has been banned in the United States due to health concerns for over twenty years. Women contend that the approval of Viagra while the birth control pills remain off-limits sends a message that the health of men is more important than that of women. The official response is that Japanese authorities are afraid of the impact that the birth control pills will cause. They believe that condom use will decrease with the introduction of the medication, leading to a rise in STDs. Also, the officials fear that there may be a misunderstanding of Viagra being used as a form of contraceptive when the drug does not have those properties. They believe that proper education about sexual health and diseases should happen before women are allowed to take the birth control pills.

As in other countries, the Japanese response to cheap generic Viagra has been overwhelmingly positive. Many men have since purchased generic Viagra online and simply having the pills has come to indicate a new rite of passage as Japanese men enter the period of middle age. Awareness of ED and the potential solution is very high in Japanese culture and the men who are using cheap generic Viagra pills have no problems showing them off to friends and colleagues. Experts believe that the legalization of generic Viagra in Japan will pave the way for other medications, such as low-dosage birth control pills, to become available to Japanese consumers.
