Canadian Federal Court Upholds Viagra Patent

Pfizer Inc said today that the Canadian Federal Court in Toronto has ruled that Pfizer's second medical use patent covering Viagra would be infringed by Apotex' proposed generic product. The court granted the company's application for an order preventing Apotex from launching a generic version of Viagra until expiration of Canadian Patent No. 2,163,446 in 2014.

I Feel Castrated After Being Refused Viagra

I WENT to my GP for Viagra but she said I wasn't suitable. It took a lot of courage for me to ask for this and to admit I was having problems in that department.

She made me feel like a naughty wee boy for asking. I'm only 59 but I feel like I've been castrated by a female doctor who looked about 20 and seems to think that sex stops when you are 30.

Can I demand to see a male doctor or must I spend a fortune on the internet to get my pills?

A I ACCEPT you are upset but I wonder if we have only got half the story here?

For instance, did your GP tell you exactly why she wasn't prescribing you Viagra? It isn't suitable for everyone for a variety of reasons, including long-standing health issues. It's got nothing to do with your age - or hers for that matter.

By all means seek a second opinion. But please don't buy drugs over the internet. As well as wasting your money it could seriously affect your health.
