"Valentine?s Day is notorious for spiking sales of chocolates, roses and Hallmark cards, but new research shows that demand also rises for a surprising lovers? secret: erectile dysfunction drugs.
In 2010, the week before Valentine?s Day saw more prescriptions written for erection-enhancing Viagra than any other week of the year, according to figures compiled by the firm Wolters Kluwer Pharma Solutions.
Some 199,450 prescriptions were logged totaling 1.34 million of the famous little blue pills the week of Feb. 5, 2010. That?s nearly 26 percent more Viagra than the lowest-use week of the year, Nov. 26, 2010 ? Thanksgiving week, when extended families typically gather.
?It?s kind of like birthday sex or Christmas sex,? said Herbenick, who was not surprised at the spike in ED demand. ?This is an opportunity that only comes up occasionally and they want to be prepared.?
Viagra, the brand name for the drug sildenafil citrate, is clearly the industry leader for Valentine?s Day ardor. Two other erectile dysfunction drugs available in the U.S., Cialis and Levitra, posted strong but not peak demand before Feb. 14.
The drug Cialis, or tadalafil, for instance, which boasts longer-lasting effects than the four hours promised by Viagra, was most in demand the week of Sept. 3, 2010 ? right before the three-day Labor Day weekend."
