Levitra Compound Found In Dietary Supplement

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

The product was being sold and marketed as a healthy diet supplement but following testing from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States it was found to be containing compounds that are only allowed to be used under license and which are indicated for erectile dysfunction.

The product was found to contain Piperadino Vardenafil that is almost identical in structure to the Vardenafil Citrate compound that is found in the erectile dysfunction drug Levitra, made by the pharmaceutical company Bayer. Levitra is the third most popular erectile dysfunction medication in the world and in clinical trials has been shown to be as effective as Viagra and Cialis which are its main rivals.

Whoever manufactures this product is extremely irresponsible and could have caused the deaths of a number of men as vardenafil in any form can react with nitrates, (which some men take for heart problems), and cause fatal low blood pressure levels. All three erectile dysfunction medications, Viagra, Cialis and Levitra have been contra-indicated for use in men who take nitrates or who have heart problems. The real danger is that as this product H S Joy of Love makes no mention of the fact that it contains the vardenafil citrate chemical some men may have used it not being aware of the possible fatal consequences. H S Joy of Love was distributed by Jen-On Herbal Science International based in California and is now immediately being recalled following the FDA testing.

Strike Up A Conversation

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

The rock chick and fashion model Jerry Hall is well known to us at Ukmedix news for her fronting of an erectile dysfunction campaign for the drug company Bayer. For some time now she has been the face of an initiative to encourage men who have impotence problems to talk about the condition with health professionals and their partners.

At present Jerry Hall is busy traveling around the world promoting the campaign which is called “Strike Up A Conversation”. The idea is that men need to talk about erectile dysfunction and to get it out into the open because when it is all kept under wraps that is when misinformation and bad advice as well as the stigmas and taboos surrounding the condition are brought to the forefront. Men must realize that doctors have seen it all before and that there’s nothing to be embarrassed about by admitting that you have impotence.

The simple fact of a man admitting to his partner that he has erectile dysfunction can be a huge relief for the man as well as his partner. Women whose men do not make love to them often feel that there is some other problem to the relationship such as that he is having an affair with someone else or that he just doesn’t find her attractive anymore. The man himself will be also be under a great amount of stress and strain and this can cause irreversible problems to a relationship. In some cases just by the man knowing that the woman will be understanding can help him to get an erection as the performance anxiety aspect of lovemaking is removed for him. If a man and a woman can understand that erectile dysfunction is a simple medical problem and that they get help for example by using the medicine Levitra their relationship can grow stronger and improve.

Levitra is a very effective erectile dysfunction drug that has been shown in clinical tests to be as effective as Viagra.

Levitra Maker Changes Structure

Monday, December 15th, 2008

he makers of the erectile dysfunction drug Levitra namely Bayer have been reorganizing their drugs business and have decided to setup a new Men’s Healthcare section within the company. What they have decided to do is group the 3 urology medications that they produce into one division. What this means is that the erectile dysfunction drug Levitra as well as a treatment called Testogel that is a testosterone replacement therapy and lastly another treatment called Nebido which is a testosterone deficiency medicine will be under one umbrella and in one division.

Bayer said that this will be very useful to doctors and healthcare professionals who will now be able to have a complete package of medication and treatment for men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. Testosterone can help improve the libido and sexual desire of some men and along with the Levitra drug can mean that a man can restore himself back to a healthy sexual function.

Along with all manufacturers of erectile dysfunction medication, Bayer is very keen to improve the sales of its drug Levitra. In view of this it is setting up a three year research project for Levitra which is called REPEAT. The idea is that feedback from patients and their partners will be made available to doctors as well as Bayer in order to improve the way that they prescribe and promote the erectile dysfunction medication Levitra.

Despite the fact that Levitra is the least well known impotence drug it is as effective as Viagra and this has been proven by a number of clinical tests where men were asked for feedback on the use of an impotence drug not knowing whether it was in fact Levitra or Viagra. In some cases the men said that they actually had better results with the Levitra drug then they had with the Viagra drug.

Good Financial Results For Levitra Drug

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

The German pharmaceutical giant Bayer has released its financial results and the figures look extremely good. One of the reasons for the strong performance of Bayer this year has been the good sales of its erectile dysfunction drug Levitra. Levitra is the third most popular erectile dysfunction drug in the world after the drug made by Pfizer (Viagra) and the drug made by Eli Lilly (Cialis).

Many people reckon that because it is the third most popular drug in the world that it is not as effective as the other two, however clinical testing has shown this not to be true, in fact Levitra is just as good as Viagra and some men even say it’s better. After all the three erectile dysfunction drugs on the market today all actually work in exactly the same way. They are all PDE-5 inhibitors and are all if you like ‘cousins’ of each other. Levitra like Viagra works for four hours and it has exactly the same side effects and has exactly the same success rate in men with erectile dysfunction. Probably the only reason why it is not as successful sales wise as Viagra is quite simply because it came after Viagra and Viagra stole the march on the other two simply by being the first on the market.

This year the sales of Levitra have been impressive and the figures show that sales are up almost 21 percent to 314 million euros. Bayer still need to spend millions and millions of dollars on promoting Levitra in order to make it catch up with Viagra and Cialis. They used some very aggressive and inventive marketing tactics this year one of which was to hire the model and actress Jerry Hall as an ambassador for the Levitra erectile dysfunction drug. At Ukmedix News we expect Levitra to carry on doing very well as we know it works well and it is a good, safe and effective erectile dysfunction medication.
