FDA Finds Cialis Drug In Herbal Product

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

We’ve noticed that sometimes what is happening is that a reputable trader in a country like the United Kingdom or the United States will simply import what they genuinely believe to be a natural and harmless erectile dysfunction remedy from say China or India. These companies may well be importing other things like green tea ginseng and other herbal remedies that are known to help people with all kinds of ailments and illnesses. What is happening however today is that some unscrupulous Chinese and Indian companies will lace their products with illegal drugs such as sildenafil [which is the active ingredient in Viagra], or sibutramine [which is the active ingredient in Reductil] and then pass them off as natural when they clearly are not.

The most recent case of this than we have come across involves a company called Cosmos Trading which was importing a product called Rhino Max that was supposed to help men who lacked sexual vigour and wanted a boost. However following FDA testing of this product it was found to contain something called aminotadalafil which is very closely related to Tadalafil that is the active compound in the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis that is made by Eli Lilly. It should also be noted that this chemical aminotadalafil has not actually been tested in humans in the same way that Tadalafil has and therefore could be extremely dangerous on its own.

Cosmos Trading immediately issued a recall on this entire product Rhino Max and obviously will not be dealing with the company that sent it to them anymore. The dangers of using these medications cannot be underestimated as for example a man who had been taking nitrates for a heart problem and who had innocently stumbled across Rhino Max could well have ended up dead as his blood pressure would have fallen to fatal levels.

Cialis To Be In Japan Soon

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Eli Lilly is stepping up operations and will soon begin to sell its erectile dysfunction drug Cialis in Japan. Eli Lilly are hoping to knock the best-selling impotence drug Viagra from the top spot soon. They have come up with many different marketing plans and initiatives and the most obvious one involves the use of using private practitioners to prescribe their drug. They will be using a campaign of Cialis information, free samples and anything else allowed by law to get private doctors in Japan aware of the benefits and uses of the impotence drug.

Of all the marketing battles in the world, the marketing battles between Viagra Cialis and Levitra are up there with the greatest. Literally billions of pounds have been spent promoting these three medicines and today literally billions of pounds worth every year are bought by impotent men on one of the three drugs. At present Viagra is the world’s best selling erectile dysfunction drug but Cialis is catching up and can now claim to be the number one impotence drug in a number of countries including France.

Cialis has one big advantage over the other two which contributes greatly to its popularity and this is that it remains effective for as long as 36 hours which is far longer than the time span for the other two, Viagra and Levitra which only work for four hours.

Eli Lilly have not actually been given the full go ahead by the Japanese health authorities to market and sell Cialis in Japan yet however since the other two are readily available [Viagra and Levitra], there really should be no problem whatsoever for Cialis to join in the erectile dysfunction market. It is expected that sometime after June 2007 all the necessary paperwork and permits to be allowed to sell Cialis in Japan will be in place.

Cialis Saves A Life

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

A man is claiming that the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis actually saved his life! The man Mr. Kelly Hice who hails from Detroit was climbing at 12,000 feet in the state of Colorado when the lack of oxygen finally got to him and he passed out. Fortunately for him he had some fellow hikers who were in good health and they managed to carry him down the mountain to the nearest hospital he was prescribed not only oxygen but also the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis.

What the doctors realized in this case and many doctors are beginning to realize is that the use of erectile dysfunction medication for people who are deprived of oxygen can sometimes be very effective. This is because it opens arteries and makes them absorb the oxygen in the blood better. Apparently Mr. Hice was wondering if the Cialis would give him an erection but in the circumstances he had quite a few other things to worry about. The lack of oxygen to the human body can cause serious damage to all kinds of organs like the brain, the lungs and the heart.

Researchers already been done with Viagra (which works in exactly the same way as Cialis) and high-altitude and it has been seen to help people to keep going for longer. It doesn’t work with everyone and eaten by no means a safe and tested thing to do if you are at high altitude but in emergency situations a doctor may take the risk and give you Cialis.

None of the tests done on these drugs at high-altitude have been done with the approval of the owners of the drugs namely Pfizer and Bayer and therefore their results have not been clinically and properly accepted by the scientific community. Nevertheless there’s definitely an interesting line of research to be done, which should be done in order to find more uses for these incredible erectile dysfunction drugs.
