Generic drugs
In pharmacology, most 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".
