Microsoft challenge to Viagra sex pill

by Toby Rose and Geraint Smith
This is London
19 March, 1999

An offshoot of Microsoft is threatening to overshadow its
parent's reputation for software after developing a "super
rival" to Viagra.

The effects of the new
anti-impotency drug, as yet
unnamed, are said to be
immediate, to last 24 hours, and
to result in a male response to
sexual stimuli that would shame
the most rampant adolescent.

"Older people who have tried
the drug say that they have the
erections of a 15-year-old,"
Professor Albert Leriche, a
Lyon urologist, told a medical symposium in Paris today.

Tests on human volunteers have so far been "very
encouraging," he said, and have shown that the new drug
has several advantages over the trailblazing Viagra.

"The effects of the drug can appear at any time during the
24 hour period although, as with Viagra, stimulation is
required.

"For example it is possible that men will become excited
just by seeing a pretty girl on the beach or in the street.

"With this drug the user is always ready."

Professor Leriche is conducting tests and says he is very
excited by the results. The American laboratory ICOS
says it will be on the market within two years. If it does get
through the process of clinical trials necessary before it is
licensed, it might bring Bill Gates yet more superfluous
wealth.

When Viagra first came on to the market, shares in Pfizer,
its maker, shot skywards, and the company has been
extremely quick to defend what is now probably its hottest
trade name.

The new drug will have to go through extensive tests
before it is licensed - especially given the initial concerns
about the effects on health of Viagra.

As many as 24 deaths from heart attacks have been
blamed on that drug.
