“From February 15 to February 17, 2023, that is, three days after the announcement of the suspension of shipments of Viagra to Russia, sales of the drug increased 50% compared to February 12-14. Sales of the entire group of similar sildenafil-based drugs increased by only 5% during this period,” RIA Novosti quotes the TsRPT message.
