5 Things You Might Not Know About Viagra
US News ^ | 03/27/2008 | Lindsay Lyon

Ten years ago today, Viagra got the Food and Drug Administration's stamp of approval. Here are some facts about the little blue pill:

• Roughly 1 billion Viagra tablets have been doled out since the drug debuted.

• An average of about three Viagra tablets were dispensed each second between its launch and the end of last year.

• Thirty-five million men worldwide have used Viagra, which remains the most commonly prescribed drug for erectile dysfunction.

• The drug has been evaluated in more than 120 clinical trials involving more than 16,000 men.

• Viagra was also tested in about 3,000 women as a potential treatment for sexual arousal disorders. But the trials were "inconclusive," and Pfizer announced in 2004 that it had stopped them.

“One Billion Viagra tablets?”

I don’t think that I could hold that much water.

One of the voice overs in a radio ad used the term 'professional' instead of 'medical' in their rambling list of side effect warnings...

" If you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek professional help. "

Needless to say all that heard started laughing, thinking the same thing...

That’s what I was thinking. I see enough of these stupid commercials while watching tv. Pfizer owes Jim money for this thread.

Anti-viagra sales were limpid, listless, slumping, flat? Sorry to hear `bout that.
Maybe, just maybe, it was this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfZ_gXCHaMw&feature=related

A farmer’s wife bought a bottle of the blue pills but couldn’t get the old man to take one. Being sly, she dumped them in the well and waited for him to get a drink.

When she saw him headed to the well she slipped into her nighty and met him in the kitchen.

She asked him “How did the water taste?”

He replied, “I don’t know, I couldn’t push the pump handle down”

Is Viagra effective on castrati? I’m thinking about the Congressional Republicans.

One I thing I do know about Viagra is I can’t watch TV for 10 minutes without seeing an ad for it or one of it’s competitors. From the ads I see on TV, America must have a small, soft penis epidemic.

I was think that 28 pills on average per person over 10 years really wasn’t that much. It kind of gives me a much different perspective than a being one half of a married couple in our mid to late 20s. Feel free to make some jokes at my expense, but if we. . . well specifically I. . . needed Viagra, 28 pills would be gone in little over a month at the current rate. Heck, E.D. would be something of a relief. . . and not just to the wife. I’m kinda hoping that one day I’ll be less distracted all the time.

It is also approved for use in pulmonary hypertension.

It is also good to treat altitude sickness.

Might be good to take to Mt. Everest.

I didn't even say a word and the wife said "Don't even think it!".

Not bad...not bad at all...
