Know your drug names - it is important

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen, Amoxil is also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin.Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.Pfizer Corp announced 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.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, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink' . Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.If you don't send this to five old friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.

Shering Plough have launched a new drug for lesbians called Triadicagain.Actually there is some seriously shady practices go on in the world of pharmaceuticals, but they do give out some fantastic freebies. I was offered a weekend in Bowness courtesy of one company when they thought that I was a Senior Houseman when in fact I was nought but a student nurse in mufti. All I had to do was sit through one "lecture" a day on prescribing their particular brand of anti hypertensive medication.
