UK Viagra sales have soared in the lead up to Valentine’s Day.

Many men have cut back on spending and going out, but when it comes to Valentine’s Day, they have got themselves well prepared. Some have booked a table at a restaurant, while others are staying in for a cosy night with their partner. Others are staying at a hotel for the night, and some are even going away for the weekend.

The one thing they all have in common, is that they are all expecting a little something extra later on, and so have bought Viagra to make sure it is a very special night for both of them. One source said that sales the week before Valentine’s Day were up by 20% even with the credit crunch and redundancies happening all over.

For those that don’t know or have been on another planet for the last 10 years, Viagra is an oral medication for erectile dysfunction (ED). It helps most men with ED improve their erections. That means they are able to achieve harder erections.

Getting an erection is only half the story

Maintaining an erection is just as important as getting one. VIAGRA can help with both. This can lead to a more satisfying sexual experience with your partner.

Who can take VIAGRA

VIAGRA has an established safety profile of over 10 years. It has been shown to work safely and effectively in men with ED. This includes:
• Men of all ages
• Men who have difficulty all the time or just some of the time
• Men with other health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression

We would advise anyone who is looking to buy Viagra on line not to rush and to speak to their Doctor before buying any medication. Once you have spoken to your Doctor there are a few ways to make sure you are going to receive genuine Viagra.

1. The website should have a physical address and telephone number.
2. The company website should show their Vat and company registration number, as this is legality in the UK.
3. The company should employ GMC Doctors to write all prescriptions.
4. Once in receipt of the medication all boxes of Viagra should have a batch number and expiry date listed on the box.

A new diet pill has been invented that tells the brain to stop eating. The weight loss drug contains Leptin, a hormone the boady naturally uses to signal that it is full. Developing the drug will a "great contribution to public heath" in the fight to tackle obesity researchers say.

The finding is based on research on Mice, whose bodies use leptin as an appetite regulator, they added "Mice deprived of Leptin will not stop eating, they become so big that they cannot move around" said study author Prof Moose Bendayan of Montreal University.

It has been proven to be an appetite suppressant when injected but the latest devolpment would see it taken in pill form. "The molecule is easy to synthesize and the protocol is ready", added Prof Bendayan, who plans more tests this year.

London, Jan 24 (ANI): Lags freed from Belmarsh jail, south London, on home leave are being handed Viagra to make sure they perform between the sheets when they visit their loved ones.

A source at the prison said convicts serving long sentences could suffer a loss of libido when faced with the prospect of nookie after a long stint behind bars.

"On your first home leave, meeting up with the missus or girlfriend can be a bit daunting. If you have Viagra your pocket, at least you know you're going to be able to deliver", News of the World quoted a lag as saying.

However, news that the 5-pound-a-go little blue pills which boost men's sex drive are being freely dished out to serious hard men will enrage victims' families.

One prison insider said: "It's pretty rich, the system in England, Scotland and Wales is making Viagra available so prisoners can perform between the sheets when they visit their loved ones.

"Inmates nearing the end of their sentence or those held at open prisons are eligible for home release. It must be costing a fortune", the insider added.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman confirmed: "We issue Viagra after the prisoner has met with the jail's GP. A clinical decision based on the prisoner's health would be made".

Consumers are being advised about the dangers of buying medicines from unregulated websites.

27th January 2010 — The discovery of supplies of counterfeit Alli, a weight-loss medication, has prompted a consumer warning from The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

The fake capsules were found in the United States, but MHRA says people in the UK could be able to buy them on the internet.

Alli is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and is available over the counter in the UK with the genuine product containing the active ingredient orlistat or commanly known as Xenical.

The Food and Drug Administration in the US has been working with GSK. Laboratory testing of the suspected counterfeit product, 60mg alli capsules (120 capsule refill kit), have revealed it contained sibutramine instead of orlistat.
Europe-wide medication alert

Last week the European Medicines Agency recommended that the licence for sibutramine should be suspended across Europe because evidence suggested it caused a higher risk of non-fatal heart attacks and strokes.

Mick Deats, Head of Enforcement at MHRA, has issued a warning about the dangers of buying medicines from unregulated internet pharmacies. “The trend of self-diagnosing and self-prescribing is potentially dangerous,” Mr Deats says in a statement on the Agency’s website.

He adds that “Buying weight loss medication from unregulated websites is a dangerous way to slim down. You don’t know what you’re taking and your condition is not being monitored by a healthcare professional. It’s just not worth taking that type of risk.”
Checking it’s the genuine article

The MHRA advises consumers to check that the website has a physical address that’s clearly displayed and the green cross logo of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

The Agency says counterfeit alli has some obvious differences from the genuine product:

* The fake product has no Lot code on the end flap of the outer packaging.
* The fake medication has a plain foil inner safety seal under the plastic cap, without any printed words – the authentic product seal is marked “sealed for your protection”.
* The counterfeit capsules contain white powder instead of small white pellets.

Furthermore, in the UK the genuine capsules are not available in packs of 120; they’re only available in smaller packs of 42 or 84.
Buy from registered pharmacies: Manufacturer

Emma Boran, a spokeswoman for GSK, sent us a statement saying: “GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare in the US has identified a small quantity of fake weight loss product, falsely packaged and labelled as alli sold on US online auction websites, such as eBay.com.

“GlaxoSmithKline fully supports the MHRA warning concerning purchasing medicines from unregistered websites. All retail pharmacies in Great Britain, including those providing internet services, must be registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

“Consumer should only buy alli online from safe and trusted registered pharmacy websites such as those of high street retailers. GSK does not condone illegal sales of alli from websites not authorised to make such sales and recommends that users check the authenticity of the online pharmacy they are looking to purchase alli from.”
The MHRA says anyone with concerns should ask their pharmacist or their GP for advice. Consumers can report any suspected counterfeit alli to the 24-hour MHRA Counterfeit Hotline on 020 7084 2701 or email counterfeit@mhra.gsi.gov.uk.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has completed a review of the obesity medicine Sibutramine (Reductil) on the basis of new safety information from a large clinical trial, the Sibutramine Cardiovascular OUTcomes (SCOUT) study. The review has found that the cardiovascular risks of Sibutramine outweigh its benefits. The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended suspension of the marketing authorisation for this medicine across the European Union.

Further information is available on the EMA website.

Pharmacists are now unable to dispense Reductil and Doctors are also unable to write prescriptions for the obesity medication.
