Pfizer's Viagra Faster, Safer When Inhaled, AFP Reports Bloomberg News January 7, 1999, 2:44 a.m. ET Pfizer's Viagra Faster, Safer When Inhaled, AFP Reports Washington, Jan. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Pfizer Inc.'s top-selling anti-impotence drug Viagra leads to almost instant erections when it's inhaled, Agence France Presse reported, citing two U.S. researchers who developed a new delivery system for the treatment. Viagra, which can only be purchased in the form of a pill, sometimes takes as much as an hour to work, a delay that can lead men to take more tablets and put their health at risk, according to AFP. Inhalation works faster because the drug's active ingredient passes directly into the blood stream, whereas a pill must first enter the small intestine, where it's slow to dissolve, AFP said. Viagra became a household name in the U.S. after it had the most successful drug launch ever, with sales of $411 million in the three months following its April introduction. It was approved for sale in the European Union in September and in Japan last month. (AFP 1/7 or www.afp.com) --Marthe Fourcade in the Paris newsroom (331) 5365 5065/ab
