Did You Know That Viagra

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Did you know that when Viagra was launched back in 1998 (it is ten years old now!), it became the quickest selling drug in history. Pfizer can claim to have sold 37 million Viagra tablets in the UK alone. Viagra despite competition from other similar erectile dysfunction drugs Cialis and Levitra is still the best selling impotence medication worldwide and its name is the best known drug brand name in the world.

Did You Know That Viagra.....

For every properly made Viagra tablet it is estimated that at least two counterfeit ones are made in illegal factories around the world. Most of these factories are in China and India and it is reckoned that around 50 percent of what they produce is substandard and possibly dangerous. Contrary to what many people think, you will not get an erection only by taking a Viagra tablet. Unless you are actually sexually aroused you could take a Viagra tablet and not get a single erection in the four hour time window for it to work.

Despite the fact that impotence has become a topic that people are not embarrassed to talk about any more many men are still too shy to go to a doctor and get help. Legal online websites such as Ukmedix help hundreds of men every year by allowing them to have online consultations with a doctor for their erection problems. (more…)

Watermelon as Viagra

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

A cold slice of watermelon has long been a Fourth of July holiday staple. But according to recent studies, the juicy fruit may be better suited for Valentine’s Day. That’s because scientists say watermelon has ingredients that deliver Viagra-like effects to the body’s blood vessels and may even increase libido.

“The more we study watermelons, the more we realize just how amazing a fruit it is in providing natural enhancers to the human body,” said Dr. Bhimu Patil, director of Texas A&M’s Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center in College Station.

“We’ve always known that watermelon is good for you, but the list of its very important healthful benefits grows longer with each study.”

Happy Birthday, Viagra!!!

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

10 years have passed since the sensational arrival of the little blue magic pill that is known to perform wonders. For men fighting erectile dysfunction Viagra has become sort of a synonym to a pair of boxing gloves. The drug started a real sexual revolution only comparable to the one caused by the invention of contraceptive pills. In just ten years Viagra (sildenafil citrate) managed to get into the top list of the world’s best known brand names, helped almost 30 million men around the globe and it looks like there’s still way to go.

As you might or might not know the most appreciated effect of the drug was accidentally discovered during a series of medical trials for a new hypertension medication. The impact of this ‘accident’ can hardly be overestimated, since it completely changed lives of millions of men who were just about to give up on their sexual lives. Pfizer, the manufacturer of the drug, owes a hell lot of money to the Lady Luck.

Viagra is a great workout sportsman

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

When the Daily News approached John Romano about athletes’ love affair with Viagra, the senior editor at bodybuilding magazine Muscular Development laughed.”All the good secrets are getting out,” Romano chuckled.

Viagra, first studied as an aid for hypertension, remedies erectile dysfunction by relaxing blood vessels in the penis.

Athletes have found plenty of other reasons to embrace Vitamin V, though.

Romano said many athletes take Viagra with anabolic steroids before a workout, hoping Viagra’s ability to dilate blood vessels will help deliver the anabolics to their various muscle groups.

“The object of nutrient delivery is to get as much of it in the muscles ahead of time as possible,” said Romano, who said he used Viagra for that reason.

Study Pushes Anti-Bleeding Drug off Market

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

A new study conducted by the Ottawa Health Research Institute provides solid evidence that patients taking the anti-bleeding drug Aprotinin (marketed under the name of Trasylol) are at higher risk of dying from post-surgery complications then those receiving cheaper generic medications.

More than 2 thousand patients from 19 heart-surgery institutions of Canada took part in the research. The findings indicate that patients receiving Trasylol were 50% more likely to die from complications than those who took two other clotting medications (Amicar or Cyklokapron). 6% of the patients receiving Trasylol died within 30-day mark after the surgery. The reason for such high death rates, however, remains unrevealed. Researchers put the blame on the clotting properties of Trasylol.

According to the co-author of the research Dr. Paul Hebert, the risk of Trasylol outweighs its benefits. Trasylol (manufacturer Bayer AG) is used to prevent excessive blood loss during high-risk heart surgeries. The drug was first approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in 1993.            (more…)

A “typical viagra user” would be hard to define because we are all different and have different needs. It is, however, probably fair to say that most men who try viagra are very happy with the results; and most would like to reduce the high cost.

Physicians normally offer 50mg samples and suggest that the 50mg dosage should be tried first to see if it is effective. viagra is also available in a 25mg tablet and a 100mg tablet - most users soon discover that a tablet costs about $10 regardless of dosage.

USA approval for once daily Cialis pill

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008
Eli Lilly’s once-a-day version of its erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment Cialis (tadalafil) has finally got the go ahead from US regulators, six months after approval in the EU.

The approval means the new formulation is now available to men on the other side of the Atlantic, allowing sufferers of ED heppy womanto attempt sexual activity at any time between doses, rather than during the narrow time frame dictated by the ‘on demand’ version.
According to Lilly, the once daily Cialis formulation is intended for men who anticipate more frequent sexual activity (i.e. twice weekly), and contains a lower dose than the previously approved version that is taken as needed.
The newly approved formulation, aside from offering perhaps a more convenient and attractive option to men, will also be no more taxing on their wallets. According to Lilly, the wholesale pricing for the once-daily Cialis will be comparable to the as-needed formulation, so that patients who currently use two or more pills of the as-needed version should not have higher treatment costs through using the once-daily product.

Gaining EU approval in June last year, the once-a-day product is currently available only in parts of Europe, but introduction to further countries is expected throughout 2008.

TriMix-gel (TM)

Monday, January 7th, 2008
TriMix Laboratories LLC today announced the introduction of TriMix-gel(TM). TriMix gel has been suggested as an alternative for patients who fail on viagra(R) type pills and cannot or will not self inject with a needle. With twenty million American men currently suffering with ED, current treatments are sufficient in many cases, but there remain more and more men who can’t tolerate the side effects of viagra  type pills and cannot bring themselves to self inject with a needle.
TriMix gel is not an herbal remedy. It contains prescription
medications listed in the US Pharmacopoeia. The active ingredients in this
compounded medicine, prostaglandin, papaverine and phentolamine, have been tested and widely prescribed by physicians for many years. (more…)

Universal flu

Saturday, January 5th, 2008
A single jab that could give lifelong protection against all types of flu has produced promising results in human trials.
The vaccine, made by Acambis, should protect against all strains of influenza A - the cause of pandemics. Currently, winter flu jabs have to be regularly redesigned because the flu virus keeps changing.
The new vaccine would overcome this and could be stockpiled in advance of a bird flu outbreak, say experts.
Each year winter flu kills around 4,000 people in the UK. Globally, between 500,000 and one million people die each year from influenza. But a pandemic of the human form of bird flu, which experts believe is inevitable, could kill as many as 50m people worldwide. (more…)

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

A Chicago woman was sentenced to six months in prison for her role in an international counterfeit pharmaceutical drug network that federal authorities said had planned to distribute $8 million worth of tablets from Houston.fake viagraAmal Alrub, 28, was arrested in Houston in April after meeting with authorities and arranging to buy about 800,000 loose counterfeit viagra tablets hidden in cardboard boxes filled with stuffed animals that were shipped from China. Alrub, who is not a United States citizen, also faces the possibility of deportation.

Federal agents learned that a cargo container with the counterfeit drug was en route from China to California, and ultimately, to Houston, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.

Alrub was scheduled to pick up 100,000 of the tablets, federal officials said, and arrange for the remainder to be transported to New York.

After arriving in Houston and inspecting the tablets, she gave an undercover agent $30,000 in cash, federal officials said.
