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.
Viagra, Cialis And Levitra Side Effects Very Similar
Two urology departments in Yorkshire in the United Kingdom have just finished research in which they examined the relative side effects of the three erectile dysfunction medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra and have concluded that on the whole there is very little difference between the three.
York District Hospital based in York and the St James University Hospital in Leeds specifically wanted to examine whether the fact that the Cialis erectile dysfunction medication had a longer half life than Viagra and Levitra meant that the side effects would be more severe. The conclusion was that the men who used Cialis were more likely to suffer from the side effects for a longer time but they were not more severe. In fact the researchers noted that men using Cialis reported less problems with one of the PDE-5 side effects which is facial flushing.
Octopussy blaims Viagra for hormonal imbalance
A mother of octuplets became unhinged again last night and was rushed to local hospital and underwent surgery to remove eight Viagra tablets.
The California mother of fourteen was reported as saying “Oh God, I’m going to kill myself,” repeatedly on her way to the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Centre, 17 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
It took a team of 46 doctors and nurses five minutes to remove the nature-defying brood via Caesarean section – with the eighth taking everyone in the maternity ward by surprise.
Is this Rotorua’s answer to Viagra?
Forget Viagra – all a man needs to perform in the bedroom is a good whiff of Rotorua’s famous rotten-egg air.
Sound far-fetched? Maybe not.
A new study suggests the gas responsible for Rotorua’s famous rotten-egg smell also has major benefits for men’s sexual performance.
Scientists at the University of Naples in Italy have discovered a link between hydrogen sulphide and male sexual arousal, sparking claims it could lead to a new class of drugs to combat erectile dysfunction.
Review Nixes ‘Female Viagra’ Patch After Surgical Menopause
Testosterone skin patches for women may have little impact on waning libido after hysterectomy, researchers said.
Relatively low effectiveness, large placebo responses, and lack of long-term safety data led to a recommendation against transdermal testosterone for female sexual dysfunction in a review edited by Ike Iheanacho, M.B.B.S., in the March issue of Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin.
The testosterone patch, marketed as Intrinsa in Europe for women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder after surgically-induced menopause, was rejected by the FDA in 2004. The agency cited concerns about unknown cardiovascular and breast cancer risks with chronic use, particularly since concomitant estrogen therapy would be required.
