Controversy

December 4th, 2009

This brand has always been under controversy because of one thing or the other. It was discovered by cialis22GlaxoSmithKline in a joint venture with Icos Corp, in the later stages GlaxoSmithKline didn’t renewed the agreement and Icos Corp underwent an agreement with Eli Lilly to further the development. Later they both merged upon the launch of Cialis and its becoming a hit, and formed Lilly Icos Co. Later Eli Lilly bought Icos Corp for $2.2 billion as they had a 50/50 share in the profit of Cialis now it would go solely to Eli Lilly.

But the twist in the story came when they had to fire almost 500 employees of Icos Corp keeping only 127; those 500 did protested and this deal was very controversial as many got jobless.

It evoked a lot of reaction when it sponsored the Super Bowl and aired its ads during Super Bowl, that didn’t went well with the parents and Cialis had to go trough a lot of criticism, as most of the families at that time sit together and are watching TV and such advertisements are considered inappropriate for minors and it was definitely not a suitable time to air such advertisements.

Lawsuits

November 28th, 2009

cialis21Well they say that Money Drives the World; but I would like to add a very minor change to it, i.e. Money Drives the World Crazy and even the civilized people start acting like they are from the Stone Age. This is what happened between the developers of Cialis, Lilly Icos and its competing brand Viagra’s developers Pfizer as they were leaving no stone unturned in efforts to pull each others leg.

They both Pfizer and Lilly Icos have filed many lawsuits against each other in various countries where both the brand were giving very stiff competition to each other and honestly speaking Pfizer got a little bit over the edge as Cialis was steadily chipping the market share of Viagra. Though this tug of war between the two giants; begun from the very start over the patent of PDE5 inhibitors, as both were working on the same thing and also developing it at the same time so this was natural but they really made a drama out of it soon the patent of one was about to over the other would jump for the exclusive rights for the patent ship. Pfizer was given a broad patent on PDE5 inhibitors in Britain in 1993. Lilly Icos filed a complaint in a London court in September 1999, and the patent was overturned in November 2000 on the grounds that Pfizer’s patent was based on information already in the public domain when the patent was issued. In the United States, Pfizer filed suit against Lilly Icos soon after receiving a broad US patent for PDE5 inhibitors in October 2002.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office ordered a reexamination of the patent, and, as in Britain, the examiner found that PDE5 inhibitors were not a new invention by Pfizer; voiding the patent, which literally surprised many and became a source of huge embarrassment for their tall claim about Sildenafil. In Canada, Pfizer moved to block sales of Cialis five months after it was approved there, arguing that there could be consumer backlash against Pfizer should Cialis be pulled from the market months later as a result of an ongoing patent lawsuit. A federal judge refused, saying he could not “imagine demonstrations in the street or storming of the barricades because one impotence medicine is made unavailable”.

Criticism

November 18th, 2009

Well there is a saying that “If people start talking about you then this indicates that you are progressing” and let me tell you; there is a lot of talk about drugs related to erectile dysfunction and not just in the publiccialis20 circles but the power and decision making corridors.

Even a rose does not come without a thorn and these are drugs for erectile dysfunction so a little bit of criticism is do expected.

But the interesting thing is that it is coming from every side. America’s Federal Communication Commission was moved for banning the airing of commercials related to impotency drugs of erectile dysfunction between 0600 to 2200 hours; only allowed afterwards, till 0600 next morning.

There are these social activists who start to mushroom out of the blue and then their usual work; criticism starts and how can they loose such a good chance. There are groups that advocate that this medicine has been the source of disrupt in the society and cause many social ills, where they appended many rapes and sexual abuse cases to the credit of drugs for erectile dysfunction.

Where there were many who are entirely against the concept of anti erectile dysfunction drug and say that this is conveying a very wrong message to the society and it woo people for sexual activities and make them feel that if they are not sexually active they are not normal.

Affecting Fertility

November 11th, 2009

cialis19Since the functioning mechanism of Cialis and other impotency drugs for erectile dysfunction are very clear and there are very little doubts about the tid bits of its operation. Therefore there are detailed studies proving that it has nothing to do with sperm count or affecting fertility anyway.

But in this age of microcontrollers, clones and transsexuals ruling out the possibility of something to be possible is literally impossible because there are documented proofs from both the sides who says that Impotency Drug do cause infertility and some says it doesn’t.

Several researches have been carried out to test whether it has any effect on the fertility. Some believe after proper testing first on animals and then test conducted on humans showed that it could reduce man’s fertility and it showed that anti-impotence drug not only speeds sperm up but it also caused the vital reaction needed to penetrate an egg to occur prematurely.

This Acrosome Reaction is the process by which the head of the sperm releases digestive enzymes to break down the outer shell of an egg, which then allows the sperm to enter and fertilize the egg.

Having said that; there are very authentic studies that indicate that Viagra has no known effects on sperm production, morphology (shape) and motility (movement) or count. Their reply to some of the researcher’s studies about the Acrosome Reaction is that the internal functioning of sperm traveling and enzymes break down is not similar in the conditions under which they carried out their experiments and the enzyme PDE 5 that is inhibited that had no proof and any effect on fertility. Therefore there are no chances of impotency drug for erectile dysfunction meddling with the fertility of users.

“The Weekend Pill”

November 4th, 2009

Whose ever concept it was but has really hit the nail on the head because not every one has a crystal ball cialis18to tell that what is going to happen in the future and one can not always anticipate that when they are going to get involved in a sexual activity or who would know before hand that what is coming there way that they take the pill prior to the action time?

And what is the guarantee that after what time it is going to start its effect. Imagine you’ve planned everything and you’ve even took the pill before the likely to happen but even after the completion of the estimated time for the pill to start functioning; it still doesn’t triggers the effect and needs some more time to start functioning? In short If The Moment is Ripe Would You Be Ready? And if the reply is not in affirmative then how would that be; definitely one word to describe that, DISASTER.

But as they say Cialis Is Here, so yes indeed the reply to all these question lies with Cialis because what distinguish it from rest of the two popular brands for Erectile Dysfunction is its ability to maintain the effect for 36 hours and you don’t have to schedule it; just let it happen the natural way. Its half-life is 17 hours as compared to 4 hours of other brands such as Viagra and Levitra.

Success Stories

October 27th, 2009

Many of us should know that erectile dysfunction can occur because of Psychological and Physiological reasons. As we often associate it with either Psychological or Physiological aspect that is very wrong and here are some of the real life experiences that would explain it, as it occurred with people ranging from 28-68 year old and guess what they really got the desired results, though some were suffering for Psychological and other from Physiological reasons.

A 28 year old shared his tale that how was he struggling with all his relationship mainly because he was not able to keep up with the physical side of the relationship specially at his age, though he didn’t knew at first that what is his actual problem.

Then one day he came to know about Cialis through a friend and he thought why not give it a try and went to see the doctor, he was told by the doctor that his problem is Psychological, then he took the lower dose of Cialis and in the mean while he had new girlfriend ancialis17d prior to their meeting he took Cialis and he really impressed the new girl. Though later he didn’t took Cialis and he was no more experiencing erectile dysfunction and the once intake of Cialis was enough to restore his confidence.

There are stories of many men from the older lot whose problem were more Physiological and the one thing common between them was that they were in a constant state of self denying and were very reluctant to read the writing on the wall, i.e. they were suffering from Erectile Dysfunction. But later they would realize that acting like an ostrich isn’t doing any good, therefore they went to see the doctor and were prescribed the suited doze of Cialis and then things for them went back normal with the restored and new spark in their relationship.

Cialis Advertisement

October 16th, 2009

No wonder the manufacturers of Cialis, Eli Lilly are trend setters when it comes to advertisements, they are the only brand which is spending so much on advertisement and why not; was there any other way to challenge the 7 years long monopoly of an established name which became the symbol for treatment of erectile dysfunction and caused so much stir in the world; Viagra.

Kudos to their efforts and money they gambled over that and VOLA it paid off like anything, it sales were cialis16beyond the expected calculation and why not having a startling figure of $100 million was supposed to do that impossible wonder. Once they had the taste of that then they were naturally willing to gamble more and why not in 6 years crossing the magical figure of $1 billion of sales is a very great achievement provided that it was new to market with a competitor larger in every aspect but still they were able to chip the market of Viagra and that is why they increased their advertisement budget to $250 million.

One very interesting thing is that their advertisement are entirely different to other erectile dysfunction medicine, as it is the only which does mention the side effects in its add and one thing that has been very much debated that they often cast men older opposite younger girls, in reply to this they say that their mainly targeted audiences are 40 plus. There was on incident that really shook the whole world and was very much criticized when they aired ads in Super Bowl and parents were very angry at that.

Cialis Market Share

October 10th, 2009

cialis15Cialis did a good job since its launch and their sales were going up; starting with $250 million and in 6 years taking it beyond the mark of $1 billion; plus its rating at the stocks were positive but due to global economic crunch and some issues between the two partners who developed Cialis, Eli Lilly and Icos Corp, it ended with Eli Lilly buying it for $2.3 billion.

Cialis poses a continuous threat to the Viagra’s monopoly specially in the international market with 35.5% of the ex-US market, was on track to become the No. 1 global ED drug in 2007. Viagra leads outside the US, with 49.3% of the market, while Levitra boasts 15.3% share.

Viagra held a stronger lead in the US, with 56.6% total market share and sales of $615 million for the first nine months of 2006, but sales were down 6%. Cialis held 27% of the US market, with sales up 26% to $294 million, while Levitra claimed 13.3% with sales up 30% to $144 million.

In France Cialis is the largest market share holder and in US they are gradually but steadily earning its ground by primarily targeting 40 plus male and that is the reason behind the increase of their sales.

Aid in Women Fertility

October 3rd, 2009

As they say God has his own way of working things out and who would’ve knew that where the race cialis14between pharmaceutical giants to address the niche of Female Sexual Dysfunction is gaining more momentum with every passing day out of the blue erectile dysfunction medicine will at last be beneficial to women but differently. There is a very rare disease that very few women experience Cialis was tried to find a cure for that and VOLA this is what happened.

Though the drug only appeared to work for women who have a specific problem – a thin lining of the uterus. This medical condition prevents the embryo from attaching to the wall of the uterus. Cialis works in men by increasing blood flow to the penis. Where it aided in drawing blood to female uterus that increased the thickness of the uterus lining and boost the chances that the embryo could attach and develop successfully. But there remain an existential threat of some experts fear it may also damage the mother and the developing fetus.

Cialis Counterfeits

September 28th, 2009

Counterfeit or fake medicines not only become the source for the financial threat or cause hazard to organization’s reputation but it also posses a grave danger to public health. Also the intensity of this epidemic is same across the globe and affecting everyone. Let alone the financial suffering it cause; because this one of the core reasons why sales decline over a period of time where the most precious intangible asset is badly affected; The Trust of Client.

Since these miscreant elements mean nothing but earning money so the counterfeit they create which has the same packing and every thing except the main ingredient and they even don’t hesitate putting ingredients that are some times even poisonous and causes death.

Counterfeit medicine production is a complete mafia and they have not spared any single genre of medicincialis13e even life saving drug let alone cancer medicines, cholesterol-lowering drugs, antibiotics, hypertension medicines, hormones, steroids, and copies of many commonly used pain killers and antihistamines.

There has been many Cialis Counterfeits reported that either advertise through spams or over the internet and the latest very know Cialis Counterfeit is Female Cialis (Ladialis), where it says that it

“Female Cialis represents a serious approach to the problem of female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD), formulated scientifically to provide satisfaction in terms of sexual needs and lasting pleasure.”

This is a hoax as it created a lot of buzz but upon confirmation it turned out be a fraud.
