Important points relating to your ED medication

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

For the many men who suffer from the condition known as erectile dysfunction, life can be very difficult. Having this condition can make men feel very self conscious and embarrassed even though it is actually a common condition that many men have suffered from. Of course, it is important for men with this condition to take action to try and do something about it and one very effective treatment that has already helped many men that suffer from ED is called Cialis. When you take Cialis you can start getting back on track with your sex life and your love life, which can take a lot of pressure and stress off you, leading to a positive effect on your quality of life.

If you are considering taking Cialis you should always make sure that you find out as much as possible about the treatment before you start taking it – a good rule of thumb for any drug based treatments that you are considering taking. This way you will know exactly how the treatment works, what to expect, what the possible complications and side effects are, whether it is suited to your needs and safe for you to take, etc. Below are a few important considerations to take into account if you are thinking of taking Cialis to deal with your erectile dysfunction.

You should bear in mind that Cialis is not a cure for erectile dysfunction, so do not expect to take the medication for a while and then be cured. It is a treatment that helps you to achieve and maintain an erection through taking specified doses of the treatment. You can choose from a daily dosage pack or a 36 hour dosage pack depending on your preferences

Whilst the side effects that come with this treatment are generally mild and short lived, there are a number of side effects that you may experience, although some users may experience few or even no side effects. Some of these include: flushing, back pains, stomach upset, headaches, runny nose and indigestion. If you experience these side effects but they persist rather than subsiding in a short space of time it is advisable to speak to your doctor

This treatment has helped many men who suffer from erectile dysfunction but it is not suitable for everyone. For example, men who are taking certain medications for heart related problems may not be able to take this medication. It is therefore important that you discuss your full medical history and any medications that you are taking with your doctor prior to taking Cialis

Cialis will not sexually stimulate the user. In order for the treatment to be effective you need to be sexually stimulated, as Cialis simply helps to increase the blood flow to the penis in order to help a sexually stimulated man to achieve and maintain an erection in order to engage in sexual activity

The Blue Pill started working faster

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

How many times have you cursed the diamond shaped pill because it needs you to take a glass of water to take it? Admit it, sex is often a spontaneous thing that isn’t planned beforehand and needing a glass of water just to take the drug when the passion is rising can be a rather unpleasant distraction from the process. Besides, there are a lot of people who simply cannot swallow pills as a whole because of a strong gag reflex or other factors involved. That’s why despite the wide popularity of Viagra there were still a lot of people who couldn’t benefit from it because they found its use inconvenient. However, things seem to change for the better with a new form of the most popular ED medication being tested in Mexico, being promisingly named as Viagra Jet.

The new form of Viagra is being sold only in Mexico at this moment, which is the second largest market of Viagra in Latin America after Brazil, with approximately 3 million pills sold on a yearly basis. Pfizer corporation has decided to run a test version of new Viagra in a single country in order to define how attractive and effective it will be for the users. What’s special about the new Viagra version? Viagra Jet represents a chewable form of the ordinary blue pill that doesn’t require you to take it with water and wait for the tablet to get digested in the stomach. You simply take the tablet of the prescribed dosage, chew it and enjoy the effects of Viagra without being distracted from the process of intimate foreplay and sex.

Viagra Jet delivers benefits that aren’t limited solely by its higher convenience. Sure, this would allow more men to enjoy using Viagra and help the drug become easier to use when it’s actually needed. However, another prominent benefit of the new form is that chewing allows the active ingredient to get into the bloodstream much faster than in case of the ordinary pill. This means that Viagra Jet starts working much earlier, in just a couple of minutes once you chew the tablet instead of nearly 30 minutes after taking the ordinary pill. That’s exactly why the new formulation was called Jet.

Right now the new type of Viagra is only available in Mexico as part of the market research done by Pfizer. There’s still no information on whether it will be available in other countries at a certain moment as it depends on the results of the research, which seem to look very promising on paper.

Patent protections extended

Monday, December 26th, 2011

When that inspired individual invented the wheel in those distant centuries, there was no patent system to protect the novelty of the idea. Everyone else looked on as the first wheels appeared on the streets and, before you could say, Jack Robinson, everyone had wheels. Those were the days when everyone shared the benefits of all the inventions. Times were hard and survival mattered more than commercial intellectual property rights. It took a long time for the world to come round to the view that inventions should be subject to a monopoly protection. We had a fully developed market economy back in Ancient Greece and Rome. There was a universal currency throughout both political groups, but it was not until a few hundred years ago that aggressive merchants began to buy monopoly rights from the political rulers. Now, we seem to take it as given that anyone who creates something new should have protection. Except, that is, when it comes to downloading the odd copyright-protected MP3.

In theory, this should not cause too many problems except the patent system is used to stifle creativity and keep out competing products while the patent holder changes the maximum possible retail price. This penalizes us, the consumers. We either pay the asking price or go without. So welcome to the court of District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith. Note it fell to a woman to decide the fate of men as we all waited for cheaper erectile dysfunction drugs. So here comes an international company with the nerve to threaten the cosy US market with cheap generic drugs. This competition on price would have affected the three current patent holders. Pfizer took the lead and argued it had a patent up to 2019.

Why so long? Well, after patenting the underlying chemistry as a treatment for high blood pressure in the arteries running through the chest and lungs, it registered a second patent for the same drug as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. Check out the history. You’ll find the erectile dysfunction use of the drug was an accidental discovery during the trial for hypertension. The foreigners were bold, arguing this was nothing new. It was obvious from the first research trial. Unfortunately, the judge disagreed and ordered the foreigner to take its cheap generics away and not return until 2019. This means we continue to suffer the price gouging from all three manufacturers with no immediate sign of there being anyone able to introduce a generic into the market.

Have you noticed how aggressive the manufacturers are when advising us not to buy our drugs online. The problem for them is that almost all the major online pharmacies are based overseas where generics are freely available. If you check out these pharmacies, you almost always find the cheap generics available. So, for erectile dysfunction, you can usually make real savings on your supplies of Cialis, even after adding in the cost of shipping. The only danger comes from the laws of some US states which mandate customs to confiscate imported drugs for which there’s no valid prescription. So, before you order your Cialis online, check out your local laws on importation. The packages always come in plain wrappers so there’s always a good chance they will get through undetected.

Buying your ED treatment online

There are many men who have already benefitted or could benefit from the erectile dysfunction treatment known as Cialis. This is a medication that is able to provide a real boost for men who have difficulty in achieving and maintaining an erection, as it increased the blood flow to the penis and enables the user to both achieve and maintain an erection until intercourse is over.

The effects of Cialis will not only provide physical benefits to the user, in that they will be able to achieve and maintain an erection, enjoy a satisfying sex life, and pursue normal and fulfilling relationships. It will also have an impact on quality of life and psychological wellbeing for many men, as it will remove much of the stress, pressure and low confidence problems that can come from suffering from erectile dysfunction.

If you are looking to buy Cialis for the treatment of erectile dysfunction there are a number of options available with regards to making your purchase. However, for many men the most suitable and effective way to purchase this treatment is to use the Internet. Going online to purchase your Cialis offers many benefits, which is why more and more people are now purchasing their treatment in this way. Some of the benefits include:

Less embarrassing: One of the major reasons why many men use the Internet to purchase their Cialis is because they find that going into a pharmacy and asking for the treatment can be embarrassing. Purchasing medication for specific sexual problems in person is something that many people find very difficult, as it can make them feel extremely self conscious, but this is a problem that is eliminated when purchasing online

More convenient: For many men who are working or having other commitments it can be difficult finding the time to go out and purchase the medication. Using the Internet means that you can make your purchase whenever it is convenient for you and you will then be able to look forward to fast and efficient delivery right to your door, which means that you simply make the purchase from the comfort and privacy of your own home and then sit back and wait

Greater value for money: The cost of buying Cialis can vary from one pharmacy to another so it is always a good idea to compare and see which ones offer the best value for money. Using the Internet means that you will be able to enjoy greater access to a wide range of deals on the purchase of Cialis. You can also quickly and easily compare the cost of the treatment to get the best deal. This is a great way to save money on the cost of your medication

Using the internet to purchase your Cialis can save your time, money, inconvenience and embarrassment, which is why this is the ideal way to make your purchase without any hassle.

Patent litigation explained

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

The idea of a patent makes good commercial sense. You give an inventor a monopoly to sell the new product without anyone being allowed to copy it. So, as a consumer, you either pay the asking price or go without. With no competition, the inventor can keep the price high and earn back the R&D costs fast. Once into profit, there’s a bigger return on the money invested and, in turn, this encourages more investment in R&D. The more consistently creative and innovative the manufacturer, the more money it makes. Except, this is a way of gouging the consumer. Let’s say for argument’s sake that the manufacturer gets a ten year monopoly and, at the end of five years, it has recovered all its R&D costs. It now has five years in which it can continue to charge the same high prices without there being any competition in the market. So here’s the question? How much profit should an inventor be allowed to make?

At present, this is never discussed let alone defined in law. Manufacturers simply demand increasingly long period of protection without regard to the payback time. Let’s say the development of a particular drug was a lucky accident. The company was testing for one use but noticed the participants were discussing an interesting side effect. That’s how the erectile dysfunction drugs were discovered. No one was trying to develop this drug so the actual R&D costs after the accidental discovery were to cover a comprehensive clinical trial and the application to the FDA – a fraction of the usual costs. Yet a court has just given one of the manufacturers protection from a generic manufacturer until 2019. That’s twenty-three years of protection in total. No one can possibly suggest this is anything other than a decision to keep on gouging the consumers. To make a sexist point – this is a decision of Rebecca Beach Smith, a female judge who obviously doesn’t care that men are paying excessive prices to keep their sexual satisfaction levels high.

So was this an unusual case? Actually, this was a standard case of a manufacturer taking out a second patent on the same product some years after the first. Nothing like stretching out your gravy train. Except there was one interesting twist. The generic manufacturer waited until it arrived in court and then accused the attorneys representing the patent holder of “inequitable conduct”. To translate this into English, it accused the poor lawyers of being dishonest, deceitful and fraudulent. Strong accusations except it was too late to raise them. To investigate would require the patent case to be adjourned, possibly for months. The judge ruled this should have been raised long before the case came to trial.

This leaves the market for erectile dysfunction drugs without an immediate threat of a generic product competing for market share. So although only one manufacturer was involved, the other two manufacturers benefit. They have all agreed to keep their prices high. Only the internet offers any competition on price. The moral of this story is for you to buy Cialis online at the generic prices. That way, you get the full value of Cialis at the lowest possible price. You can feel good when sticking one in the eye of the patent system.
