GENERIC NAME FOR VIAGRA

Also Pfizer, Pepsi, and Alzheimer's research.

This is humor.

IN PHARMACOLOGY, ALL DRUGS HAVE TWO NAMES: a trade name and generic name.

For example, while Tylenol is the trade name, its generic name is Acetaminophen. Aleve is called Naproxen. Amoxil is called Amoxicillin and Advil is called Ibuprofen.

It took a while before the FDA settled on a generic name for Viagra.

After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it finally announced that it settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

In a related development, Pfizer announced that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form. It will be marketed by Pepsi as a power drink intended for use as a mixer. Imagine! It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously, this is no longer a soft drink! It also gives new meaning to the terms, "cocktail," "highball," and the good old-fashioned "stiff drink." Pepsi, unlike the FDA, quickly came up with a winner! The new concoction will be called MOUNTandDO.

Finally, did you know that more money today is being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer research? That doesn't bode well. It could mean that by 2040 we'll have a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections who absolutely have no recollection of what to do with them!
