Fw: Pharmacology

Pharmacological Humor
by Silly Journalist

In Pharmacology, all drugs whose patent protection have expired, are
marketed under two names---a trade name and generic name. For example, the
generic
name of Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is naproxen. Amoxil is
amoxicillin,
and Advil is ibuprofen.

After careful consideration by a team of government experts, the FDA
recently announced that it settled on a generic name for Viagra:
Mycoxafloppin. The
eliminated finalists were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Dixafix, and
Ibefeelinfoolish, but the latter was thought too crude.

Pfizer Corp., trying to increase revenue now that the drug is going
generic,
announced that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form and will be
co-patented by Pepsi Cola so it can be used as a mixer. It's trade name
will be
Mountanddo.

It will not be available over-the-counter but with a prescription it will
be
possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. It gives new
meaning to the names: "cocktails", "highballs" and just good, old-fashioned
"stiff
drinks."

Thought for the day: Currently, there is more money being spent on breast
implants and Viagra 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.
