It could also be the wrong dosage too.

A report in the New York Times stated that the price of one Viagra pill when purchased through an insurance company is between $29 to $49 in copayments. When Viagra is purchased on online pharmacies, the price is about $10. Pfizer, the maker of the drug, conducted a survey of 22 websites that were offering Viagra in 2011. According to their survey, 80 percent of the pills purchased from these sites were counterfeit dugs. In these fake pills, the active ingredient of sildenafil citrate only made up to half of the drug. Up to 40 million prescriptions in the United States are filled with counterfeit drugs each year, according to a white paper by Create.org. In FY2011, counterfeit drugs consisted of 9 percent of all counterfeit goods seized by US Customs.
