Shortage of drugs in Chicago

A report from Chicago states that there is an increasing shortage of drugs that is being witness these days. These include the medications for all the major health disorders.

Doctors and helpless and hence are forced to consume the older medications. When there is a shortage for medicine including cancer, it is a serious issue, isn’t it?

Presently, the reasons for this shortage have been assessed. The foremost cause of this problem is illegal hoarding by the wholesalers. The other reason that has been stated is the strict quality measures and the other manufacturing problems as their production is checked time and again by the various health organizations owing to drug safety.

Even the leading manufacturers have been facing these problems including Lake Forest, Ill. The scenario must be worst in the case of small manufacturers of meds such as cialis.

The director of pharmacy for Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago Mr. Thomas Wheeler has been noticed sating that this is one of the worst shortages he has ever witnessed. He also added to the point saying that when medications for the grave issues are not available, there is very less alternatives that they have. Especially in case of cancer and other surgeries, they can postpone the medication for long.

The pharmacy industry still welcomes the decision of stringent test being proposed for their medication as it believes that this would boost the confidence of the consumers. They also assure that they would soon overcome this problem.

Viagra lotion – A new derivation without any side-effects

Viagra lotion will be a new derivation of Viagra that promises to work in an effective way as compared to the other forms of Viagra. The best part is it says it can work without causing any side-effects. This new form of Kamagra will take ten years to make itself available in the market.

This anti-impotence lotion takes around 30 minutes to an hour to show its effects. Scientists who have developed this medication have first tried it on rats and state that the results have been successful. They proclaimed that it was effective on 9 among the 10 rats which has boosted their confidence. These drugs may consist of nano-particles that can be applied directly to the affected area.

Many men who complain that Viagra doesn’t work for them can go for this lotion.

It has been seen that one among every three men are not satisfied with Viagra. The co-author of this study Kelvin P Davies has an opinion that this lotion can work within a short span of time which is the major requirement of men suffering from erectile-dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction has been a serious cause of concern with almost one among every ten men being affected by erectile dysfunction. After analyzing the causes, it was seen that the physical causes were 70% and the psychological causes were around 30%. The scientists have kept their fingers crossed as it may take time to launch this product. With only three licensed companies making the anti-impotence drugs available that includes Kamagra pill, Cialis and Levitra, there has been more expectation every time any new anti-impotence drug is about to emerge the market.

Study - Breastfeeding is The most essential nourishment

For a mother, there is nothing more important than taking care of her child throughout. She feeds her child all the way through her life but breastfeeding has been considered as the most essential form of nourishment that a mother can endow her child with.

The most significant brain development happens in one in the initial first five years after birth. Only proper breastfeeding can aid this development. About 70,000 Danish children were being tracked who were born in the period of 1996-2000 until 2008 by the University Of Aarhus School Of Public Health. Their breast feeding habits were taken into consideration and the result concluded that those children who were breastfed for a longer time were healthier and less vulnerable to health problems and other attacks than those who were not.

Breastfeeding is a form of immunity to the child life-long as it can prevent the child from being a victim to various diseases. The Journal of Pediatrics has supported this fact with the help of a study recently. It clearly mentions the fact that the longer the child is breastfed, the more the child is protected from health hazards. It rescues the child from infection that includes diarrhea, vaccine response, NEC (necrotizing external colitis), Respiratory Syncytical Virus (RSV) etc. It enhances the entire development including the child’s cognitive and social development. It provides protection against various allergies and enhances dental health.

It is being studied that the various nutrient that are present in mother’s milk is unique and hence is a must. Not only is breastfeeding beneficial for the child but also for the mother as it may keep her away from breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

A recent research infers that the probability of the children who were breastfed for at least 9 months had 1 in among 200 chance of being prone to diseases while 1 among 100 kids in USA are prone to 2 or more seizures during their childhood when they were breastfed for only 3 months.

Around 6% account for the sleeping pills and other similar medication that are consumed due to addiction. Illegal psychotropic drugs are consumed that are about 3%. Then there are an increasing number of products and cosmetics that are used for skin-lightening which are again around 3%.

Super Bowl Diminishes Male Sex Drive

Women are always envious of Super Bowl as their men are glued towards TV and hardly have a glimpse of their partner who is besides them craving for some attention. It’s being said that guys wait for Super Bowl the same way girls are enthusiastic about Valentine’s Day.

At the University of Pennsylvania, this study was conducted to examine if Super Bowls really have an effect on men’s sexuality and the results were positive. It was observed that after watching previous recordings of Super Bowls, men turned out to be sexually inactive. This study was conducted after rigorous inspection and study.

This study has really had shocking results as it was found out that even the presence of the footage of Super Bowls can reduce sexual drive in one. The most astounding fact was that even the cheer girls failed to grab their attention.

Adam Dawson, biology professor and the person in charge of this research was himself amazed by the results and declared that though he knew Snow Ball did have an effect, he never knew it could have such drastic results.

The football fans are really displeased and disturbed with the results and say that it would be a real hard task to keep them away from the Super Bowl but they would give it a try this year. Sex and self-esteem comes first say some and hence they have no other option than staying away from Super Bowls. A few though doubt the concept of results and exclaim that every result has something different to infer and it is impossible to follow all of them.

More disappointed are the women who have their husbands and boyfriends who are keen on super bowls as they are apprehensive that it might affect them. Even ED drugs such as Cialis and Kamagra won't help to foster sex drive as these drugs help achieve erection only in arousal sate.

The Recall of ED Drugs by Health Canada

If you are a consumer of RockHard, then here’s some bad news for you. The Health Canada has issued an exclusive advisory in relation to two pills used as a sexual enhancement medicine. These are RockHard and Pandora.

These drugs have now been recalled because according to the lab tests, both these medicines contain sulfoaildenafil, which is regarded as an unauthorized substance. This compound found in these drugs is very similar in nature to Sildenafil. This Sildenafil is used to treat the problem of Erectile Dysfunction in men and one should consume these medicines only under the able monitoring and prescription of the doctor.

Sildenafil Citrate has the potential to bring your blood pressure to a very low level, which can also affect your health if over consumed. Those people who have a previous history of Diabetes, Certain Heart Diseases, blood Pressure, Liver and kidney problems, should refrain from taking this drug, as it can lead to health complications. Unlike Kamagra, it can also have some temporary side effects on you after the intake like headache, flushing of the face, stomach upset, blurred vision and dizziness. Also, Sildenafil clashes with the usage of Nitrates and Alcohol.

Nitrate based drugs and Sildenafil do not go well with each other, so better avoid taking such drugs. It is also advised to limit the alcohol intake. The Health Canada has now issued a recall for the RockHard drug for the main reason that it contains the chemical knows as Sulfoaildenafil.

The warnings and dosage conditions are also to be printed in a way that it is easily visible to one’s eyes.
