Man pleads guilty to selling Viagra
ELKHORN — A Lake Geneva man accused of selling Viagra to an undercover sheriff’s deputy was found guilty Friday of three misdemeanor counts of a dispensing prescription drugs.
David L. Vos, 55, of 617 Haskins St., Lake Geneva, originally was charged with three counts of felony delivery of prescription drugs, but the charges were reduced in a plea agreement.
“The misdemeanor charges, I felt, captured the nature of his conduct,” said Deputy District Attorney Joshua Grube. “Part of the agreement, too, is to look at the drug that’s being delivered. This isn’t a drug that’s out there killing people like heroin is and cocaine is.”
Viagra Stays Behind EU Counters
Pfizer withdraws application to sell drug without prescription after it hits opposition from government panel.
Pfizer decided on Thursday that it was too difficult to achieve over-the-counter status for Viagra in Europe.
The pharmaceuticals said it was withdrawing its application to switch the erectile-dysfunction medication from its current prescription status in the European Union.
Pfizer (nyse: PFE - news - people ) was quick to point out that it believes Viagra meets all the criteria for nonprescription status under the European Commission’s guidelines, but decided to withdraw the application after concerns were raised by the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. The company did not elaborate on what the committee’s concerns were and did not return requests for comment.
Viagra’s now a sports drug?
Q:I heard on the news that Viagra might actually improve an athlete’s performance. How does that work and do you think it is true?
A: The World Antidoping Agency is currently funding a study to determine if athletes taking Viagra could potentially have an advantage over their competition. And the competition is everything from bike racing to mountain climbing.
This is how it works: the active ingredient in Viagra helps to relax blood vessels in the body and this can help to provide a more efficient blood flow and use of oxygen by the body. That mechanism has long helped to improve blood flow to the penis in men with erectile dysfunction.
Woman calls police after husband takes Viagra
An 82-year-old Italian man who took a Viagra pill scared his wife so much she called the police.
His worried spouse feared he would have a heart attack.
The man’s wife was quoted by police as saying, “So much passion at the age of 82, with all the aches and pains he has, could prove lethal.”
Police say the man was “furious” when they arrived but calmed down after relatives arrived.
Police say they left the family to resolve the situation.
Cialis May Help Ease Pulmonary Hypertension
Cialis (tadalafil), a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction, appears effective in treating pulmonary hypertension, researchers report.
Pulmonary hypertension is caused by high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs with blood. People who suffer from the condition can become tired, dizzy and short of breath, because the arteries feeding the lungs constrict and reduce the supply of oxygenated blood being circulating throughout the body.
But Cialis “was found to improve exercise capacity, health-related quality of life, delay time to clinical worsening, and improve hemodynamic [blood-linked] parameters of disease severity,” said lead researcher Dr. Robyn J. Barst, a professor of pediatrics at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City. The drug was also well-tolerated, she added.
