I had never fully understood prescription drugs until I received this
message.

In pharmacology, all drugs have two names - a trade name and a generic
name. For example, the trade name Tylenol(r) is acetaminophen.

Aleve(r) is known as naproxen, Amoxil(r) is amoxicillin, and Advil(r) is
ibuprophen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra(r). After
consideration by a team of experts, it recently announced it has
settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were
mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix, and of
course ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. is making an announcement today that
Viagra(r) will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by
Pepsi(r) Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. Pepsi's
proposed ad campaign claims 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. This additive gives new meaning to the names of
****tails and highballs. Pepsi will market the new formula by the
name, Mount & Do. The long term implications of drugs and medical
procedures must be fully considered: Over the past five years,
Americans have spent more money on breast implants and Viagra(r)
than was spent on Alzheimer's research.



It is believed that by the year 2030, there will be a large number of
people wandering around with perky breasts and erections who can't
remember what to do with them.
