In 2022, Viatris informed about the suspension of the supply of Viagra medicine in the dosage form of a tablet," the ministry said. The ministry added that in order to ensure local production, the government supported a project designed to organize and conduct clinical trials of the drug based on the same component — sildenafil — in the form of pills. The volume of production of these medicine in the first three quarters of 2022 increased by more than 11% in physical terms. At the same time, the sales of Viagra in Russia also increased by more than 15%.
