Pharmacology - did you know?

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 called 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.
