Finally a Generic for Viagra?

In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of acetaminophen. Aleve is naproxen , Amoxil is amoxicillin and Advil is ibuprofen.

The Food and Drug Administration has been looking for a generic name for Pfizer's "Viagra"; slidenafil citrate, 25 mg or 50 mg or 100 mg. 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 mycoxafallin, mydixadud, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, dixafix and 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 good old fashioned "stiff drinks."

Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of "Mount & Do."
