(7 Dec 2017) LEADIN:
The little blue pill that’s reinvigorated the sex lives of millions of men is turning white.
Two decades after its U.S. launch, drugmaker Pfizer’s iconic blockbuster Viagra is getting its first generic competition next week.
STORYLINE:
Like millions of other men, Daniel Lobello’s life improved dramatically when he started taking Viagra.
Drugmaker Pfizer is launching its own cheaper generic version of Viagra, rather than lose sales when the impotence pill gets its first generic competition on Monday (11th December).
Lobello says: “Having access to the medication has improved my relationship, because it takes a lot of the stress and tension away.”
Pfizer’s new white pill will be half the 65 US dollars-a-pill people paid for the blue pill.
Lobello nods when his doctor Matthias Hofer asks: “You pay all of it just out of your pocket, right?”
Hofer who works at Northwestern Memorial Hospital says: “It will specifically make a difference for patients who were not able to or unwilling to afford the expenses associated with Viagra now.”
Generic maker Teva Pharmaceuticals will start selling its version next week, but it’s not disclosing the price.
Even more generics go on sale next summer and that will steadily reduce the cost of medical bills for erectile dysfunction or ED, the name coined by Pfizer.
Lobello welcomes the change: “It’s great that the drug companies are starting to cut the prices down on the meds, because it is something that people, men, need. But since it’s gone to a generic form, it’s gone even cheaper, so there’s other avenues now to get the medication than just going to your local pharmacist and doing it under your prescription plan.”
Launched in 1998, Viagra was the first drug treatment for impotence.
It transformed a private embarrassment and frustration into a publicly discussed medical condition.
It made treatment easy and certainly more palatable compared with options like penile injections and implants.
Eli Lilly’s Cialis came out in 2003 and now dominates the U.S. market with on-demand pills and daily, low-dose ones. Viagra is a close second.
Pfizer says its market research shows 20 percent of customers are loyal to Viagra.
Rather than give up sales to generic makers as drugmakers once did, the company is also fighting to keep men on the brand-name blue pills.
Jim Sage, president of U.S. brands for Pfizer Essential Health says: “We will continue to support the branded version of Viagra. It’ll maintain the same name. There will also be a generic version, and in our case, Pfizer’s case, we will have an authorized generic.”
In January, the drugmaker will offer two new discount programs and bigger copayment card discounts.
Uninsured men can get Viagra half off for cash through an innovative online home delivery program, Pfizer Direct.
Erik Gordon, a professor and pharmaceuticals analyst at University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, says Pfizer’s undertaking is unprecedented.
“What usually happens is companies cut off marketing, because they’re going to lose 90 or 98 percent of the business pretty quickly no matter what they do,” Gordon says.
“Pfizer is really hoping to keep a lot of the business. Even if it keeps 20 percent of the business, this campaign will be a success.”
Lobello is satisfied with the pills he’s taking, but thinks a lot of men probably would start using generic or brand-name Viagra when the cost comes down.
He is one of millions looking forward to lower medical bills.
Hofer says: “I think it will be a stimulus for patients to be able to buy Viagra, the brand Viagra, in pharmacies for a reduced price. There’s no question about that.”

Ask a pharmacist your questions now!

Seeing a different pill at the time of your refills can be very scary and frustrating. There may be a simple explanation as to why you are seeing a different pill.
Knowing why your pills may look different at refill time, can put your mind at ease. Medications can be produced and distributed by many different manufacturers. Your pill might look different because your pharmacy may have dispensed your medication from a different manufacturer. There is nothing to worry about. Even though they may look different, it is the same medication.
There are ways to tell you are receiving the correct medications. It is best to check your medications before you leave the pharmacy. This way if you have any questions about your medications, you can ask your pharmacist. Typically the label will include the description of the medications including the shape and color. Looking at the label is a good way to tell if you are receiving the correct medications.
As with all medications, ask your pharmacist any questions you may have.

Could taking birth control pills while pregnant harm a developing baby? It’s unlikely, new evidence suggests.
Oral contraceptives taken just before or during pregnancy were not linked to a higher risk of major birth defects, a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Statens Serum Institut in Denmark found.
“Women who become pregnant either soon after stopping oral contraceptives, or even while taking them, should know that this exposure is unlikely to cause their fetus to develop a birth defect,” said lead study author Brittany Charlton, ScD, an instructor at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital, in a press release. “This should reassure women as well as their health care providers.”

LYRICS:
There is a low road
that leads into the night
into the black hole
that takes away your life
it don’t matter
what i do
there ain’t no other way
it don’t matter
what i do
there ain’t no other way
got this feeling inside my head
won’t stop till i am dead
i got no place to hide
my destruction is inside of me
there is a poor boy
sleeping in the streets
there is a rich man
looking down his nose at me
it don’t matter
what i do
there ain’t no other way
it don’t matter
what i do
there ain’t no other way
got this feeling inside my head
won’t stop till i am dead
i got nothing left to lose
getting tired of being used
don’t think i’ll ever know
why this life has made me low
i got no place to hide
my destruction is inside of me
got this feeling inside my head
won’t stop till i am dead
i got nothing left to lose
getting tired of being used
don’t think i’ll ever know
why this life has made me low
i got no place to hide
my destruction is inside of me

QUICK FACTS ABOUT THE POP:
– You take a pill every day, with no break between packs of pills.
– The progestogen-only pill can be used by women who can’t use contraception that contains oestrogen.
– You can take the progestogen-only pill if you’re over 35 and you smoke.
– You must take the progestogen-only pill at the same time each day. If you take it more than 3 hours late (traditional progestogen-only pill) – or 12 hours late (desogestrel pill) – it may not be effective.
– If you’re sick (vomit) or have severe diarrhoea, the progestogen-only pill may not work.
– Some medicines may affect the progestogen-only pill’s effectiveness – ask your pharmacist or doctor for details.
– Your periods may stop or become lighter, irregular or more frequent.
– You’ll need to use condoms as well as the progestogen-only pill to be protected against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
SICKNESS AND DIARRHOEA EFFECTS ON POPs:
If you vomit within two hours of taking the POP or If you have very severe diarrhoea that continues for more than 24 hours. The POP won’t have been absorbed by your body. To find out what to do please visit the following links:
Speak to a pharmacist, nurse or GP, or call NHS 111 or the national sexual health helpline free on 0300 123 7123, if you’re unsure whether you’re protected against pregnancy, or if your sickness or diarrhoea continues.
MEDICINE INTERACTIONS WITH THE POP:
When you take 2 or more medicines at the same time, they can sometimes interact with each other.Some medicines interact with the progestogen-only pill, which can stop it working properly.
If you want to check whether your medicines are safe to take with the progestogen-only pill, you can:
– Ask your pharmacist, practice nurse or GP
– Read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS:
Most methods of contraception don’t protect you from sexually transmitted infections. Condoms (male/external or female/internal), when used correctly and consistently, can help protect against sexually transmitted infections. If you can, avoid using spermicidally lubricated condoms. The spermicide commonly contains a chemical which may increase the risk of HIV infection.
