OT Drug Trade Names

In Pharmacology all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name.
For example, the trade name of Tylenol 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.

In other drug news, 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

You can try asking for mycoxafloppin, but you'll have better night if you
ask for sildenafil. ;-)
