About MyDrHank

Four products sit on the list: sildenafil in generic form, tadalafil both generic and daily, and MDH Drive, which dissolves rapidly and pairs sildenafil with tadalafil. Every case gets reviewed online by providers holding U.S. licenses, and three partner pharmacies are named. Plans are itemized at one, three and six months, the cheapest being $25/mo for generic sildenafil, with free shipping and nothing to commit to.

Watch-outs

Our Verdict
MyDrHank is where we would start, above all for an oral route if you will not self-inject. Open Water Rx undercuts it by $2 a month, so if the monthly bill is what decides it, Open Water Rx is the pick.
