In pharmacology, all drugs have two names - a trade name and a generic
name. For example, the trade name Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is known
as naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is ibuprophen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After consideration
by a team of experts, it recently announced it has settled on the generic
name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin,
mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix, and of course ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. is making an announcement today that Viagra will soon be
available in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power
beverage suitable for use as a mixer. Pepsi's proposed ad campaign claims
it will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.
Obviously, we can no longer call this a soft drink. This additive gives new
meaning to the names of cocktails and highballs. Pepsi will market the new
formula by the name, Mount & Do.
The long term implications of drugs and medical procedures must be fully
considered: Over the past five years, Americans have spent more money on
breast implants and Viagra than was spent on Alzheimer's research. It is
believed that by the year 2030, there will be a large number of people
wandering around with perky breasts and erections who can't remember what
to do with them.
