Viagra Makers Block Sex Drink 'Viagrene' in Britain

LONDON (Reuters) - The makers of the anti-impotence drug Viagra on Wednesday blocked the launch in Britain of a new sex-enhancing drink called Viagrene.

High Court Judge Jonathan Parker granted Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE - news), the makers of Viagra, a temporary order against Eurofood-Link, makers of the drink said to contain natural herbal extracts and be an aphrodisiac.

In a play on the word impotent, the drink's label declares ''The real drink for importent moments'' and sports a design which Pfizer said was similar to its blue, diamond-shaped pill.

The judge was shown samples of the blue-colored drink which is already on sale in Finland and Sweden.

Eurofood-Link's lawyer, Adrian Speck, accused Pfizer of unacceptable delay in bringing the case to court just one week before the launch of the drink in Britain.

But Judge Parker imposed a temporary ban until a full hearing can be arranged on the action.
