In pharmacology, all drugs
have two names - a trade
name and a generic name. For example, the trade name
Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is known as
naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is
ibuprophen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for
Viagra. After consideration by a team of experts, it
recently announced it has settled on the generic
name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were
mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud,
dixafix, and of course ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. is making an announcement 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. Pepsi's proposed
ad campaign claims 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.
This additive gives new meaning to the names of
cocktails and highballs. Pepsi will market the new
formula by the name, Mount & Do. The long term
implications of drugs and medical procedures must be
fully considered: Over the past five years, Americans
have spent more money on breast implants and Viagra
than was spent on Alzheimer's research. It is believed
that by the year 2030, there will be a large number of
people wandering around with perky breasts and
erections who can't remember what to do with them.
