Viagra is being trained for new jobs
In the majority of cases, the grant of a patent captures the chemistry and purpose of a drug and locks it away for the given number of years. This is the monopoly given to the manufacturer who will police the drug market and sue anyone who comes too close for infringing the patent. The very act of protection discourages future research to develop the drug for new and different purposes. Yet, in one or two cases, research does go on. Most of the time, this represent unofficial interests where physicians experiment with off-label uses, or there is just a simple change so that, what comes in multiple doses, may be spread out through an extended release capsule. Only in quite rare cases is the research real and sanctioned by the original manufacturer. So it is with Pfizer and its now famous little blue pill. In every way, this pill broke the mold. It was a literal game changer. Under development for one purpose, its accidental power to inspire men is now the stuff of legend. But that left Pfizer with an interesting choice. It had already invested millions to develop a drug to help relieve pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Should it just throw all that money away? Although tempting, given the billions of revenue now flowing into its bank account, Pfizer decided to continue developing the drug for PAH. The result is Revatio, the same basic PDE5 inhibitor applied to the arteries in the chest rather than those leading into the penis. It has become a lifesaver. What is interesting is the change of name. Apparently Pfizer did not think patients would believe in the effectiveness of the drug if it continued under it erectile dysfunction name. A whole new brand identity had to be developed.
In a desire to prove the chemistry is applicable to an ever wider range of conditions, there are now trials underway to test whether it is an effective treatment for cancer, multiple sclerosis, strokes and, somewhat surprisingly, some aspects of mental disability. In all cases, the common feature is the ability of the drug to dilate arteries to improve the circulation of blood throughout the body. One of the consequences of improved circulation is a boost to the body’s immune system. If blood moves only slowly, it is possible for the immune response to drop quite dramatically, say in the area of a tumor. Hence the current trial to determine whether local administration to cancer of the throat will have beneficial results. Apparently, the early results look promising.
There is something faintly strange about the idea of viagra becoming as commonly used as an aspirin. What had once seemed so uniquely particular to the male need seems to have a potential relevance to almost everyone. Given that there are eleven different forms of PDE in the human body, this gives us the prospect there may be eleven different uses for viagra. Perhaps other drugs are always going to be less flexible. A painkiller, for example, really only has one reason to exist (ignoring the abuse for pleasure). Yet who is making this decision? Who decides a drug only has one use? For all we know, the majority of drugs licensed for use for one purpose may actually have multiple purposes. Ah, wait! That is the problem. If one drug could treat multiple diseases and disorders, there would be no need for multiple different drugs and pharmaceutical companies would make less money. Let us leave it that there shall only be the brand and generic viagra. For any other disorder, there must be a new and expensive drug.

Pfizer loses a part of its patent for viagra
Despite the best efforts of television shows like “Boston Legal” to show us the serious and inspirational side of the work done by attorneys, most of us feel the lives of lawyers are probably dull and boring. It’s therefore good to be able to bring you news of the fun to be had in the courts. Let’s start with a little background. Being first on to the battlefield with its little blue pills, Pfizer waited with attorneys drawn and cocked. It’s all very well to have a piece of paper with the magic word “Patent” printed on it but, sure as eggs is eggs, someone else is bound to come along with a copy. They will have their own attorneys primed and ready to explode the first patent. After all, no matter how successful a pharmaceutical company, there must also be massive profits for attorneys. The first team claim their wording gives watertight protection – a bit like a condom. The second team claims that the first wording is full of holes – a bit like a condom given to a man by a woman who wants to get pregnant.
We now have to move over to India and China. There are a lot of extremely angry people over there. They have centuries of using different herbs, spices and other natural substances for medicinal purposes. Indeed, there’s a fabulous treasury of different treatments buried in literature available to all who can read it. Ah ha! That’s a bit of a problem. Not that many people who work in the US Patent Office are fluent in foreign languages, particularly when, in many cases, we are talking about old scripts. So, when these modern officers input search terms into their databases, curiously, little or nothing came up from China or India. That’s all changing thanks to a major effort being undertaken in both countries to translate all their old documents into English and to supply this information to the US Patent Office. Why should this matter, you ask. Well, US companies have been reinventing the wheel and patenting it. This is deeply annoying to the people of China and India who suddenly find their well-established medical treatments patented by Big Pharma. To be a valid patent, the product must be original.
This brings us to Horny Goat Weed. Savor the name and understand its medical property. This herb has been known to the practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. By a strange coincidence, its chemistry is almost identical to viagra (and the two later competing drugs). So when Pfizer sued Eli Lilly alleging infringement of its patent, the clever attorneys for Eli Lilly said Pfizer had not invented anything original and were not entitled to their patent. This week, the court agreed and struck out a part of the original patent. Of course, this case is going to drag on into the appeal system. While we are all waiting for the outcome, you can still buy viagra online. Although the main chains of retail pharmacies throughout the US have said they will lay in supplies of Horny Goat Weed, this may take a little time to organize. Farmers in China must be persuaded to plant extra fields for the US market. On second thoughts, just continue buying either the branded or generic viagra. It works for the attorneys and their profits so it should be good enough for the rest of us.

Erectile dysfunction and cycling
There’s a common belief that cycling can cause erectile dysfunction in men. Is that true or it’s just a misconception?
This question was in the spotlight of various media for the past couple of years and there are camps advocating both views on the matter. The general answer is that cycling for long periods of time while sitting on an uncomfortable saddle will likely cause erection problems, especially in mature men. However, there are many factors influencing the result, so it’s not very bright to state that by cycling you will automatically develop impotence and have to get a supply of Viagra.
But first of all, people have to understand what ED is. Having erection problems every now and then is not a problem as it happens to all men and it’s completely natural. When speaking of erectile dysfunction or impotence, erection problems should be persistent, manifesting in more than 25% of all sexual encounters when a man can’t achieve an erection suitable for successful sexual activity. That’s when a doctor can say it’s clinical ED. Lack of sexual desire or being unable to orgasm is a whole different story.
Erectile dysfunction can have different causes both of physiological and psychological nature. Physiological causes of ED include damaged nerves, blood vessels and tissue in the penile area. Psychological problems include stress, depression, anxiety and even relationship problems. Still, over 2/3 of all ED cases are linked to other health conditions such as heart diseases, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse and lack of physical activity.
And how cycling can become the cause of ED, you might ask? Riding a bicycle for a long period of time puts a pressure on the tissue, nerves and blood vessels in the perineum, which can result in temporary inability to obtain and maintain an erection. The effects can be aggravated if the saddle is not comfortable and there’s no time for the vessels and tissue to recover after cycling.
Some factors can make the problem even worse and cause serious erection problems. Such things as the time spent cycling, the weight of the person, design of the saddle, weight distribution and how intensively you ride the bicycle can strongly affect your chances of having erection problems. For example, professional race cyclists have an intense style but because the distribute more weight to their feet and pedals rather than the saddle they are less likely to have ED.
If you love cycling but fear developing ED, don’t give up your passion as there are easy ways to avoid erection problems and not make you buy Viagra at all. First of all, make sure to invest money into a good saddle and choose a comfortable design that provides less pressure on your perineum and . When taking a long ride and feeling uncomfortable, take breaks and take some time to stretch your legs and even massage the numbed areas. You can also reduce the pressure on the sensitive areas by leaning forward and distributing more of your weight on the paddles. This way you will not only reduce the risk of having erection problems but will also have better control of your speed when cycling. So don’t give up your passion and enjoy riding for as much as you like because inactivity can also cause erection problems and by cycling you effectively prevent them the best way you can.

What does the brand have against the generic?
Drugs are made in such a way that the patient feels they are useful, profitable and safe. When it comes to creation of a drug, we must say the process is very difficult. It takes years to produce a drug that would actually help and be effective. Most manufacturers want their medicine to cover all the investments therefore they need to be given a patent protection. This is what FDA usually requires. The patent protection grants you the promise of no other similar drug or the copy of this medication for several years as indicated in the agreement. This is a good possibility for the trademark to become famous and a nice chance of making the drug you created a one of a kind piece.
Most patent protected companies gains lots of money on their drugs being the monopolists. They stock the medicine they manufacture to the market and make a good advertising for it. Their drugs become famous but this happens due to the fact that they are the only providers there are. Having no competition makes manufacturers lots of money on their inventions. This way they recover the production payments fast enough to start something new that would be both unique and good. When the patent protection timing is up, anybody can use the original drug for the copy. And if they do it legally, they have to be the healthy competitors on the market mentioning the elements of the original drug. In order for the brand drug to be identical to the generic it has to consists of the same chemical elements and produce the same effect on the patient that the generic would do.
What make the generic medicine hard to compete with are the cheap prices they put on their products. It only happens because the generic drug manufacturers do not need to gain the money back from competing with anybody else. They are the only ones that stock the drug to the market so they make 100% profit from it. It is also great for the buyer as he is interested in two things most of the time – the effectiveness of the drug and its price. So before you take a pretty box in your hands and wonder about the difference in the price of the generic drug and the branded drug, think it all over one more time and realize the reason why the prices actually differ. We would advise you to go for a generic drug because it is the original medication that comes with a good price and we hope you will do so.
To choose or not to choose the local online pharmacy?
Despite the fact that the original (generic) drug such as Viagra has the same chemical structure with the branded drug, there are slight deviations when it comes to spending your cash on them. And the prices of generic and branded drugs aren’t the only ones that vary. Sometimes different drugstores surprise their clients with the price differences. This fact has a clear explanation. Some companies that manufacture the drugs are rather small therefore they do not produce a big amount of drugs. And we all know that this means the payment per unit has to be bigger in order for it to work out on their company’s benefit. Some of the companies do understand what is at stake so they don’t risk to raise prices too much as they know that the customer is the most important piece of the chain. But the smartest have to be those manufacturers that have a possibility to make both types of drugs- generic drugs and branded drugs. They give their costumer a possibility to choose from two and pick up what they want accrediting to their financial status and buy Viagra or ant other drug at the price that suits their wallet.
The other important thing is the actual pricing for the pharmacy and the costs of land and staffing. There are drugstores that do not locate close by, they choose different countries and territories so they aren’t interested in a cheap sale. Some online pharmacies will recommend you to use their services as they are “better” in quality but it is not the matter. Quality won’t suffer. Who is going to suffer from afar away location is the client as he will pay for a delivery depending on the charges of country that he is ordering from.
