New erectile dysfunction drug called Avanafil will be much faster than Viagra, Cialis & Levitra

A Pharmaceutical company called Vivus is hoping to launch an erectile dysfunction drug called avanafil. Vivus issued a press release stating that there new drug Avanafil will be much faster than Viagra Cialis & Levitra.
Mr Leland Wilson, chief executive officer of VIVUS stated "Erectile dysfunction is a significant problem among more than half of all men over the age of 40. While sales of currently available ED therapies exceed $3.8 billion a year, persistent switching by patients suggests that patients are less than satisfied with current therapies," "These phase 3 avanafil data not only confirm the robust efficacy we've seen in earlier trials, but potentially differentiate avanafil from other PDE5 inhibitors when it comes to side effects and time-to-onset of efficacy. We are confident that avanafil can effectively compete in the oral ED therapy market."
Mr Charles Bowden, M.D., Senior Director, Clinical Development at VIVUS stated "From our discussions with patients and physicians, we knew that rapid onset was an important attribute in the selection of an ED therapy. A recent study in 1,900 patients with ED showed that 75% of patients identified rapid effect as an important treatment expectation. Knowing that avanafil can be effective within 15 minutes should create an attractive position in the PDE5 market,"
Existing erectile dysfunction medication tends to work after 30 minutes and therefore this would make Avanafil’s shorter effective medication of 15 minutes quite popular.
Medical Specialists News will be looking out for any updates regarding the new Avanafil erectile dysfunction medication.

An exclusive dating website for attractive people has booted out members for gaining weight over Christmas.

BeautifulPeople.com made more than 5,000 users re-apply after they posted pictures of themselves looking over weight after celebrating the festive season.

Existing members were asked to decide if they were still pretty enough to be part of the website.

Only a few hundred were allowed back in.

The site, which bans so-called "ugly people" and calls itself an "exclusively beautiful community", said it was responding to complaints from its customers.

Founder Robert Hintze said: "As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld.

"Letting over weight people roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded."

Managing director Greg Hodge said: "People can be big and beautiful but it doesn't suit everyone. If you join as a size six, or with ripped abs and a slim physique, you have to maintain this look or expect to be re-rated.

"Remember this is the opinion of our members, who have the final and completely democratic vote on who is let in or cast out of their community."

Most of the people who were kicked off the site were from the US, the UK and Canada.

Managers sent them emails encouraging them to reapply when they can lose weight.

World Cup 2010 - England recommended Viagra at World Cup

A sports scientist has recommended giving the England team Viagra at next year's World Cup in South Africa to help them cope with playing at altitude.

Doctor Richard Pullen, who is working with the FA, said the anti-impotence medication would boost the players' lung capacity while they train and play in Rustenburg, nearly 5,000 feet above sea level.

He said: "I'll point out to the England squad the potential benefits of using Viagra for games played at altitude.

"It's scientifically proven that the process of how Viagra works in the body, by enlarging the blood vessels, can improve performance of some athletes.

"Also known as sildenafil, it's been used by football teams in South America and some cyclists because it's not a banned substance.

"I'm sure several countries at the World Cup will consider using Viagra."

England are expected to pitch their tent in the north-western city of Rustenburg where they will play the USA in their opening game, on paper their stiffest opponents in Group C.

Should England qualify as runners-up from a group that also includes Algeria and Slovenia, progress is likely to be more difficult as there is a good chance they will face old rivals Germany in the second round.

Bookies have installed England as third favourites for the tournament, making them bona fide contenders, but an FA spokesman said the drug was unlikely to be used to help the players raise their game.

"The England medical staff are conducting detailed research with a variety of experts ahead of next year's World Cup," the spokesman said.

"However, there has been no discussion with regard to Viagra and certainly no plans for the players to take it in South Africa at the tournament."

Viagra for women

Viagra is the most famous prescription only drug for erectile dysfunction in men. The term "Female Viagra" has been around for some time although there was nothing as such available for use in women. It has now been reported by the BBC that a drug that failed tests as an antidepressant is being hailed as "Viagra for women" after surprising but not unpleasant side effects.

The drug surprisingly increased women's sex drive in three separate trials. The accidental discovery of this drug is similar to Viagra's discovery ten years ago. Viagra was originally designed as a heart medicine.

Smoking not cool - most children think

According to a Government research, nine out of 10 children hate cigarettes and want their parents who smoke to quit. A poll of 1,000 children aged between eight and 13 found of those with a parent who smokes, 96 per cent wanted them to stop and almost two thirds would give up the chance of extra pocket money if they would.

The research coincides with the launch of a new Department of Health campaign aimed at getting loved ones to stop smoking. It features real children, not actors, talking about how concerned they are about their parents’ smoking.

Professor Terence Stephenson, President, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) said: “This research is extremely significant and we need to look at the health outcomes and effects when adults smoke in the presence of their children.

"It is encouraging to hear that those children who were consulted knew the health risks related to smoking and the harmful effects of people smoking around them.
