A Viagra pill is sold every two minutes in Colombia

by Michael Kay

Colombians are now just like the rest of the world: they buy a Viagra pill every two minutes, according to a statement by manufacturer Pfizer, Caracol Radio reported Saturday.

Ten years after the little blue tablet was introduced in the country, Colombians are now gobbling them up in line with the world average, making them a 14 million dollar a year market for the drug company, the radio station reports.

During nearly that same period, Colombia’s birth rate dropped from nearly 23 per thousand members of the population in 2000 to 19.86 per thousand in 2008, according to data from the CIA Factbook.
