Canadians Head To Viagra Falls JUNE 11, 10:28 EDT NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - While Canadian officials decide whether to approve Viagra, Canadian men aren't waiting. They're crossing the border to purchase the popular new impotence drug. Alfonse Muto, owner of Pine Pharmacy in Niagara Falls, told The Wall Street Journal he fills about 20 prescriptions a day for Canadians, written by both American and Canadian doctors. It is legal in Canada to import prescription drugs provided they are for the individual's use only. Several weeks ago, doctors and pharmacists in Vermont noted that a large part of their demand is coming from Canada, where approval could take six to eight months. Steve Vincent, a pharmacist at Brooks Pharmacy in Newport, Vt., said he had gotten about a dozen calls a day from curious Canadians. ''Considering it's a new product, that's a considerable amount of interest,'' he said. ''Patients are lining up,'' said Dr. Richard Grunert of Green Mountain Urology in Colchester. ''You could call it Vermont's number one export.''
