FDA approves once-a-day Cialis
Indianapolis, Indiana—Drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. has received FDA approval to offer its erectile dysfunction drug, Cialis, in a new daily dose.
The daily version will take pressure off users who would otherwise have a “shot clock” or window of effectiveness to worry about, Lilly officials say. Cialis also is offered at a higher dose that provides a 36-hour window.
With the daily dose, men will not need to take Cialis in anticipation of sex because it is already in their system, said Shawn Heffern, Lilly’s U.S. marketing director for the drug.
Fake Cialis linked to dangerously low blood sugar
An unusual outbreak of dangerously low blood sugar has been traced to illegal anti-impotence drugs and herbal remedies contaminated with a drug for diabetics, doctors warn.
Between Jan. 1 and May 26, 2008, 150 non-diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia were admitted to public hospital in Singapore. There were four deaths, and seven patients remained comatose, Dr. Kok Onn Lee of National University Hospital in Singapore report in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.
All of the patients except one were men, and they ranged in age from 19 to 97, with an average age of 51.
Swiss Allege Price Fixing on Viagra and Cialis
Swiss authorities have accused Pfizer and Eli Lilly of conspiring to fix prices for Viagra and Cialis. The news has created the best Bloomberg headline ever: “Pfizer, Lilly, Bayer Operated Erection-Drug Cartel, Swiss Say.”

The Future Looks Bright For Cialis

Improve your love life with generic Cialis or Viagra
Generic drugs wear this label because they reach the market under their chemical or generic name. This means that they are identical to the brand name drugs in everything but the name. The FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) verifies all generic drugs to offer a guarantee that they treat the illness with the same safety, effectiveness and strength levels as their brand name equivalent.
Generic drugs manufacturers must get WHO’s (World Health Organization) approval. Sometimes, the same pharmaceutical company that makes the brand drug also produces its generic version; in other cases, the company specializes in producing generic drugs.
