De-fund Viagra. De-fund Cialis.
De-funding Planned Parenthood will only increase the deficit, since P.P. offers services for less than the private clinics that poor women would have to turn to.

If the government really wants to save money, then it should halt Medicare reimbursement for all erectile dysfunction drugs. Those drugs lead to millions of dollars in costs of complications, including blindness, heart attacks -- and, of course, UNNATURAL PREGNANCIES.

:shrug:

19. since this is usually led by men, I wish there was something
deeply personal and vital to men's health that we could demonize and prohibit, I wish men could feel what I feel right now. I wish men could feel what its like to be thought of as chattel.

2. Pycnogenol and L-Arginine work better than either of them and the side effects
are such that you will probably see a drop in blood pressure, lowering of blood sugar, reduced capillary fragility, asthma symptoms reduced, ADHD symptoms lessened, triglycerides lowered, LDL lowered, HDL lowered and prolly several more but I broke my google. Please forgive.

4. Revatio and Adcirca - Pulmonary Hypertension drugs
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 08:54 PM by underpants
Revatio is made by Pfizer.... it is Viagra

Adcirca is made by United Therapeutics.... it is Cialis


Rogain was originally an anti-collesteral drug


Saving lives is fine but there is waaay more money in hair and boners.

12. Interesting. I didn't know that.
So they probably get some of those E.D. prescriptions right there.

14. You knew it.
Erecttile dysfunction is often accompanied with other
Disease profiles. It is in my case & other men in my dr's office.

It's cute to draw wild stories about the 'misuse' of any popular drug.
More so if it has to do with genitalia and sexual relationships.

You're 'cute' that way.

16. No, I didn't know that men went to Planned Parenthood.
I seem to have struck a sore point by mentioning E.D. drugs.

Sorry, but I really don't think we should be funding them and cutting out funds for birth control. That's not fair at all.
