Viagra Gum?

Quote:

Wrigley plans 'Viagra' gum
Fri Jun 13, 7:55 PM ET

By Christopher Bowe in New York

Wm Wrigley Jr Co has received a patent to deliver Viagra in chewing gum.


Its US advertising jingles tell you to "kiss a little longer" with Big Red. With a patent on Viagra gum, that slogan and gum might assume a greater significance.


The Chicago-based group has received a patent for chewing gum formulations and methods of use to deliver the main ingredient in Viagra, sildenafil citrate. Pfizer, the world's largest drug company, has a patent on Viagra, the well-known Pfizer male impotence drug, that lasts until 2011. In US patent 6,531,114, Wrigley claims "a method for treating erectile dysfunction in an individual comprising the steps of providing a chewing gum composition that includes a therapeutically effective amount of sildenafil citrate in the chewing gum composition".


Chewing causes the drug to be released into the blood stream through the mouth, making it potentially less irritable on the stomach. Apparently it would be chewed about 30 minutes before sex.


Viagra is soon to encounter competition for the first time. Germany's Bayer and GlaxoSmithKline of the UK are expected to gain approval for Levitra some time this year. Eli Lilly, US drugmaker, and partner Icos also expect US approval for another male impotence drug Cialis late this year.


Viagra, one of the most recognised brands in the world, has become a social icon with sales expected to reach $1.9bn this year.


Over the last few years, Wrigley has looked to expand growth in the slow but steady chewing gum market. It has formed a health unit to explore potential of delivering drugs in its gum. Pfizer appears to have no plans to repackage Viagra at this time. Wrigley could, however, wait until Viagra loses patent protection and can be copied as a generic drug.

people are taking impotence drugs to a new extreme.

Guy1: Hey! Want some gum?
Guy2: Sure!
Guy1: Haha! That was joke gum
Guy2: Now you're addicted to Viagra!
*both chuckle*
Guy2: I'm horny..

(((Shamelessly ripped from family Guy 105)))

But in seriousness, I wonder what they'll call it.

If this ever gets out of the laboratories - which it's unlikely it will - it can't go on the market until something like 2011 when the patent for Viagra expires.

Aww man... imagine the scenario... A friend comes over and leave this stuff as a prank in your Gum Stash. You head out the door quickly to work/class and you grab a stick and chew it on your way there. You get there and then you get a huge stiffy, that just won't go away... ugh that would suck. Heck, I'd have to watch my stash daily, as it would be funny to re-wrap the gum into gum that is in my stash.... And if I thought it, someone will do it, and I chew on my gum until it falls apart.... ugh

I shudder from the thought....

Just remember to put it on the bedpost before you take a trip down to the garden. Trimming gum out of the hair on your head is bad enough...

Chew until it's just right to blow.

That would be pretty convenient to have around whenever you may need it!

It's kind of hard to be a cunning linguist while chewing gum....
