Impotence Gel to Compete with Viagra

Impotence Treatment

A recent news published by a British-based pharmaceutical company suggests that they are planning to introduce an impotence gel that would give tough competition to the Numero uno impotence drugs Viagra.
Viagra which was launched by Pfizer in the US in 1998 was an instant hit for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It was the first approved non-surgical treatment of� � Erectile Dysfunction that does not have to be either injected or inserted directly into the penis to achieve and maintain an erection. The name recognition of Viagra is so good that most of the men all over the world have heard of this drug and can tell you what it does and they would also suggest every person to buy Viagra not only to treat� � Erectile Dysfunction but also to increase the love making time and power.
But the impotence Gel manufacturing company believes that it can be a tough rival for the so called ruler in impotence treatment. The non-prescription gel will go through clinical trials later this year. The product is designed to be applied directly to the penis for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, The Times of London reported.
Britain's Futura Medical Plc in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline in the United States are the developers of this wonder impotence treatment gel to compete with Pfizer Inc's Viagra in the multi-billion dollar anti-impotence market, the newspaper said.
The chief component of the impotence gel is glyceryl trinitrate, currently used to treat angina. Viagra was also originally developed as a heart drug, but during clinical trials was found to be effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Viagra has been prescribed to more than 23 million men worldwide since it was introduced in 1998.
According to sources around 1,500 men are expected to be recruited into three clinical trials of the gel that, if given regulatory approval, would be available by 2009, the Times reported, noting the trials will also involve the study of its effects on women who would come into contact with the gel during sex.

Don’t Consume Sexual Dysfunction Pills With Undeclared Ingredients

The Department of Health (DH) appealed to members of the public not to buy or use a product labelled as “Lu Quan” as it was found to contain an undeclared drug which is known to link with serious side effects.
A DH spokesman said a 73-year-old man was admitted to Kwong Wah Hospital on August 13 after being found unconscious. His blood glucose level was very low on admission. He had recovered and was discharged on August 19.
Investigation revealed that he had a history of taking the product (a kind of red/yellow capsule) purchased in Shenzhen. The urine of the patient was found to have contained glibenclamide (a diabetic drug) and sildenafil (a drug used for treating male sexual dysfunction).
Laboratory tests on the remaining product provided by the patient showed the presence of the two drug ingredients today.
The spokesman said glibenclamide could cause nausea and gastro-intestinal upset. Improper use may cause a significant fall in blood sugar level with serious health consequence and even death.
The side effects of sildenafil include low blood pressure, headache, vomiting, dizziness, and transient vision disturbances. It may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin for treatment of angina) and may lower blood pressure of patients to dangerous levels. Improper use of sildenafil may pose serious health risks, especially for patients with heart problems.
Under the Pharmacy and Poisons Ordinance of Hong Kong, products containing either sildenafil or glibenclamide must be registered before sale and can only be sold on a doctor’s prescription and under supervision of a pharmacist.
Members of the public who have bought the product are advised not to take it. Moreover, they are urged to seek advice from their doctors if feeling unwell after consuming the product.
They should destroy and dispose of the products or submit them to the Department’s Pharmaceutical Service at 3/F, Public Health Laboratory Centre, 382 Nam Cheong Street, Kowloon, during office hours.
“People who have problems of sexual dysfunction should consult medical professionals for appropriate advice or medication,” the spokesman said.

The Truth About Impotence Treatment Claims

Impotence

Health fraud sells false hope. Whether fraud is packaged as exotic pills and potions, phony cures or "miracle" remedies, it thrives on wishful thinking, naivete, or desperation. Fraud wastes a consumer's money, and in some cases, valuable time, especially when it causes a consumer to postpone proper treatment for a medical problem.
Recent advances in impotence treatment have opened the floodgates for bogus remedies for this condition. Using the Internet and direct mail solicitations, unscrupulous businesses are capitalizing on the publicity and popularity surrounding a new medical product, exploiting consumers who are desperate for a cure. The fact of the matter: Impotence is a medical condition for which treatments are available from qualified practitioners. Don't be too embarrassed to see your physician before you begin any treatment regimen.
When it comes to healthcare or medical products that promise results - especially those for impotence - the Federal Trade Commission offers these tips for evaluating claims you may want to believe, but shouldn't.

• If the product is advertised as effective for treating impotence - and no physician's prescription is necessary - forget it. It won't cure the condition.

• If the product is advertised as a "breakthrough" in impotence treatment , check with your doctor to see if it is legitimate.

• If the product is promoted by a "medical organization," call your physician to check the credentials. Phony "clinics" and sham "institutes" are touting bogus cures for impotence.

• If the product says "scientifically proven" to reverse impotence in a high percentage of patients, check it out with your doctor. Some claims that "clinical studies" prove a product works are false; generally, high success rates should raise suspicions.

• If the product being pitched to cure impotence is "herbal" or "all natural," dismiss it. To date, no "herbal" or "all natural" substance has been shown to be an effective treatment for impotence.
