Another Viagra Falls story from AP: JUNE 11, 17:06 EDT NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - ''The Honeymoon Capital of the World'' is acquiring a new nickname: Viagra Falls. Canadian men seeking romantic renewal have been crossing the border in droves to fill prescriptions of the impotence drug, which is months away from being approved in Canada. ''I've seen them drive as far as three hours,'' said pharmacist Alfonse Muto. ''I had an 87-year-old come in from Toronto. He said he's going to give it one more chance.'' Drug stores have become as popular as hotel rooms with heart-shaped Jacuzzis, with some pharmacists filling upwards of 20 Canadian prescriptions a day. ''One man bought $1,200 worth,'' said Bob Kendzia of MacLeod LaSalle Drugs. Viagra sells for $8 to $10 a pill in the United States. It is legal in Canada to import prescription drugs provided they are for the individual's use only and are declared.
