Viagra Vs Other Erectile Dysfunction Drugs

November 26th, 2009

This is a debate which is often under discussion as if some body wants to find a cure for his erectile dysfunction, which brand to opt for or doctors always deliberate keeping in view certain issues that what would suite the patient best. So the discussion is more need based than facts and figures which is in reality contrast to conventional thinking.
All the major brands including Viagra has the same mechanism for functioning, which is the inhibition of PDE 5 enzyme which causes the arteries to relax which causes the increased blood flow that causes the erection to occur. But there are some factors which distinguish them from each other and that is what which earns them their individuality.
Now keeping in view all those factors we are going to analyze where Viagra lies. Viagra enjoyed an viagra20unchallenged dominance for 7 long years and then some other brands jumped into the competition and caused some very serious damage to the sales of Viagra as they had something extra to offer specially the Eli Lilly’s Cialis, which had an amazing factor of last effect for 36 hours compared to Viagra’s 4 hours and that even worked faster than Viagra i.e. 30 minutes with or without empty stomach where Viagra worked faster only with empty stomach but still it took 1 hours to start working.
Some of the grave dangers Viagra poised were its use on patients with history with heart problem or diabetes and in some places if failed to work patients with diabetes but Levitra had the answer to this it was very effective on patients with diabetic issues.
Viagra has a very huge plus point first it’s a pioneer in this business so it is well know in comparison with all the other impotency drugs for erectile dysfunction and it effectiveness has been proven on number of patients where other failed, and many doctors are also well aware of its usage as they have quite an experience prescribing it therefore to avoid experimenting and being used to this they hardly go for other brand.

Criticism

November 20th, 2009

KOREA VIAGRA SEIZUREGod not only made people in all sizes and shapes; but thinking as well. Those who keep an open mind and are able to digest change or those who have always opposed change and always resist from exploring new ways. They contest cloning as meddling in the affair of God and there are people who even bring hair plantation under the same category by labeling it with the above rhetoric, So how can they allow Viagra; they also considered it as, meddling with the God ways.

With the introduction of Viagra there were people who were very much impressed with the purpose this medicine was for and there were also people altogether rejected the concept of Viagra. They professed that Viagra is giving out the message that being sexual inactive means that you are abnormal or you are lagging some where that you shouldn’t be; not only this but they also blamed certain cases of sexual abuse, rape and non consensual sex cases over the use of Viagra; which maybe a coincidence that with the inception of this drug such cases started to mushroom. The bad press was the icing on the cake but this storm in the tea cup got all silent when in its first year of launch it bagged sales of $1 billion.

As reported in many people at first they can’t really digest the vary idea that they are suffering from erectile dysfunction but later the circumstances that unfold make them believe that remaining in a constant state of denial is not going to do any good and then they start seriously considering about the issue they are facing because in many married couples or young girlfriend and boyfriends this has been source of rifts between them.

There were many instances where people came and shared their experiences that ranged from surprising 28 to very obvious 68 years olds who were suffering from Erectile Dysfunction; some were facing Physiological and some Psychological problems but what common between them were that they were struggling with their relationships because the physical side to their relationship remained un attended which is very important part of any relationship specially in a wedded couple.

There were youngsters who were suffering from Psychological problems and they were struggling because of that, as experiencing a situation that is very new to them and many were with girl for the very first time; so this is very natural with people from their age group and even newly wedded they also have to face this situation. So the use of Viagra for first two or three times helped them regain their lost confidence and  then they were able to satisfy their partner without the need of using Viagra again.

And there were also couples reported from their late 60’s and even 70’s who with the blessing of Viagra were having a very charged and active sex life, and Viagra help them redeem the lost spice in their relationship that they thought was a no go area for them anymore as women often reported has increased sex drive with the increase in their age.

International Response to Viagra

November 6th, 2009

viagra16Viagra was not a drug it was lifestyle and what could hold it back from becoming global as what it promises to do is what people from Morocco to Fiji and China to Antarctica were suffering and it had the solution to that.

Though in the initial days there were a lot of legal hindrances in its way as it was something new and many countries were unsure about it though it was approved by Food and Drug Administration but authorities in EU and some other countries asked their doctors to prescribe it only in extremely unusual circumstances. Later this implicit ban was lifted and it use increased on the global scene as well.

Viagra soon became a notion for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction as anything that was used for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction; it was called Viagra. But there was a darker side to this as well and in many Asian countries, the counterfeit mafia went busy formulating ways to create drugs that were similar to Viagra and sold it under the brand name of Viagra.

It sales in the international market were tremendous and accounted for quite a large share in the annual sales of Viagra; though the counterfeits caused a lot of damage to that.

Misconceptions about Viagra

October 27th, 2009

There are people in this who appreciate things and there are those who loves to criticize and that often viagra15leads to a lot of aspersions that then becomes the basis for the propaganda machines to start their work and I may say they has really worked too much in Viagra’s case as they had to deal with so many misconception in the initial days of its launch where some of its were true. The one that was very serious and surfaced in the initial day of its launch, which was mainly bad press which said that it can cause death, where some cases were reported but the investigations later revealed that some of them didn’t even took Viagra when they died and their death was caused because of their diabetic or heart problems.
Another misconception was that it heightens libido, or sex drive. This is not true. Viagra is not a sexual enhancer; it does not increase sex drive or heighten the sexual experience. These types of effects, and others that are psychological in nature, may be considered secondary to the increased potency of erection that Viagra provides.

Viagra’s Impact on Society

October 20th, 2009

viagra14When this product hit the market it caused a stir through out the pharmaceutical world and why not the maiden drug to offer an oral solution to one of the most catastrophic scenarios a man has to face which puts all his man-ness is at stake; Erectile Dysfunction. Its popularity was at its peek the day it got launched and it remained in the headlines though in the start because of its benefits and later because of its side effects and mostly the sudden loss of vision or the bluish colors that would flash in front of eyes.

Lawsuits and Controversies

October 13th, 2009

viagra12The billions that came Pfizer’s (Viagra’s developers) way was a result of endless researches and hard work; many cat fights with the rival brands and I may be allowed to say an outright lie or maybe if I have to sound bit more decent a criminal silence over some of the issues that needed to be told before this drug hit the shelves of the drug stores. A very known is the temporary or permanent loss of sight; were the scientists working on the development of Viagra so naïve they didn’t got any clue of this terrible situation that can rise with the use of this drug?
Though they’ve been constantly denying that it didn’t occurred due to use of this drug and there were no evidences found where Viagra has anything to do with that state of their. Later with tremendous pressure from Social Groups and Food and Drug Administration they put on the warning label which said that its use can cause blindness despite repeating their same claim that blindness reported has nothing to do with use of Viagra.
They have always been hand and cough with their rivals Eli Lilly the developers of Cialis which is giving a very stiff fight and snatching most of Viagra’s market share. Since the start of their work on developing medicine for erectile dysfunction they had locked horns and had a running battle for the patent of the enzyme inhibitor they were working on. Later when their fights really intensified The United States Patent and Trade Mark office ordered a thorough reexamination of the Patent and the examination revealed that PDE5 inhibitors were not a new invention by Pfizer, voiding the patent. This meant complete shackles for them as what could be more embarrassing than this?

Pink Viagra

October 5th, 2009

The term itself evokes a lot of reactions let alone the concept behind this; though the term very much elaborates the concept itself. But why not they roughly form the 48% of total global population and this niche should be filled as soon as possible because to make one wrong right you can not commit another wrong.
viagra12If you have discovered a solution for male sexual problem and one the frequent encountered predicament by men which drives one to the heights of embarrassment and frustration, that even witnessed in many cases is the main cause of rift between two sexually active partners, so why ignore the other half of it; the Women, because they also have issues related to sex and they are very serious. They either completely loose the interest in this particular area or either just don’t like the idea of it; some physiological reasons are do involved in it but wait a minuet, wasn’t this the same case with men? So why this lack of hesitation or inability to come up with a wonder drug like Viagra? Or I may say a PINK VIAGRA for women that address their sexual needs..
Though this can be a very huge market and researchers are no way sitting idle; they are working day and night on this but experts has to say that it is taking so much time because women sexual stimulation or activation process is more complex to that of men, as it involves psychological, physiological and environmental aspects that all affects equally to bring out the desired result or either become the source of hindrance.

Use of Viagra on Infants

September 29th, 2009

Believe it or not but it’s very true; though it was used in some very unusual circumstances that were very compelling viagra11indeed and Viagra saved the day for them and used as a last resort after exhausting all the available other options.

A child was born for some unknown reason with a Chronic Pulmonary Hypertension and this can result in death as it increases the flow of blood in pulmonary arteries. After trying everything and in due course 3 months passed by but situation got worse and worse then Viagra was used after consultation with experts on it and as it dilates, or relaxes the blood vessels in the lungs because it causes the smooth muscles to relax.

Though the behavior of Viagra in such situations where the relaxation of arteries or veins are concerned is very much know but very little was known about its effect on an infant.

It was later used in another case where a 1 year old child who had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which shifted all his internal organs upward at birth, putting tremendous pressure on the heart and lungs. While surgery has fixed the Herniation, his lungs continue to struggle as they remain overloaded and Viagra was the answer to this problem and they even used it as it relaxed the arteries and hence the pressure was very much weaned away.

Marketing and Advertisements

September 26th, 2009

Viagra is the Pfizer’s blued eyed and it has been spending on its marketing and advertisement more than anything last viagra21year a total of $440 million was spent on its advertisements but its pretty natural and that is the reason why it was rated as the best brand. Also to make people get over the societal barriers that hinders in the use of this drug there needs a lot of persuasion and to make feel the user that it’s not a crime or something to talk about their erectile dysfunction or look for ways to cure this problem as any one can suffer from this just like cough and cold.
In the initial days it was very difficult for them as they had to think of ways how to educate, persuade and promote their product. As they had an unchallenged monopoly in oral solution for erectile dysfunction drugs for 7 long years, so they least cared about the competition but the later discovery of side effects proved to be their biggest competitor and they really had to pull their socks in order to refute those people who were cashing in this loop hole of their brand.
Some of its commercials did caused a lot of controversy and were later banned, one such instance was where a man was shown that he grew horns after the intake of Viagra, as it passed a wrong message to the society but it was very true though.
Their one tactic is very interesting that in its ads and promotion campaigns it publicise Viagra’s relationship with NASCAR driver Mark Martin and Major League Baseball player Rafael Palmeiro, which other brands don’t do.
