For those of you who've been under a rock lately, listen-up! viagra cialis online pharmacy<\/a> pharmacy<\/a>, in a small study of 98 participants, was shown to decrease the sexual dysfunction of women<\/span><\/span> on anti-depressants. The study was published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) within the last two weeks.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the study subjects were women with major depression who reported sexual dysfunction after<\/span> they began taking antidepressant drugs such as Zoloft and Prozac. The women were randomly assigned to receive either Viagra or a placebo for eight weeks, although I don't know if the researchers were also blinded to the drug assignment. (A double-blind study's results are generally considered more valid than a single-blind study.)

The participants rated their sexual dysfunction, on a scale of 1-7 with 7 being the worst, prior to the study commencing. The average rating of the Viagra group was nearly identical to the placebo group's average. However, after the eight week trial, the Viagra group's rating went from 4.8 to 2.8, which was significantly larger than the placebo group's change from 4.7 to 3.6. The Viagra group also reported more side effects than the placebo group.

As the WSJ noted, Viagra has not been approved for use in women, and Pfizer gave up pursuing FDA approval after previous drug studies failed to show a significant benefit.
-----------

I planned to write a comical commentary about this topic when the news first broke. However, after following the news for a bit, it became clear that I needed a different approach. The study, and the reporting of the study, has created a sea of controversy. Comments across the web ridicule the study's small sample size and its funding by Pfizer (although Pfizer apparently had no input into the study). More derisiveness has been leveled at JAMA for publishing a poor study and accusing them of publicity-seeking. And of course, the \"depression isn't a medical illness which should even be medicated in the first place\" crowd is up in arms about throwing another medication on top of \"ineffective antidepressants.\" Whew...was there this much controversy when Viagra for MEN arrived on the scene??
But I digress...

My concern involves none of the above. A small study can be remedied by repeating the research with a larger, double-blind study. Many discoveries began as tiny case studies which subsequently encouraged larger, more comprehensive research. Obviously, the Pfizer funding conflict can be easily remedied in a repeat study--get the funding elsewhere! As far as JAMA's decision to publish, follow-up studies, whatever they show and wherever they appear, will quell the JAMA concerns as well. Lastly, the depression-is-not-an-illness and the anti-medication crowds will likely voice similar concerns no matter how many repeat studies are performed. That is their right. So, I look at this study as an interesting starting point with room to grow. None of the above criticisms are overly concerning to me. They are all fixable with follow-up.

My concern is much simpler and also fixable, but likely the damage has already been done. People have a short attention spans. (If you've read this far, congrats!) If my behavior is any indication, and I think it is, many of us get our news from headlines alone. Who's got time to read beyond that? Following are four of the hundreds of recent, similar headlines I came across:

Fight Mom's Depression With Viagra
Viagra for Women's Depression
Viagra may CURE Women Suffering from Depression
Viagra may Revive Women on Depression Drugs

Can you see why I'm concerned? Has anyone else already overheard someone say, \"I heard women can use Viagra now to treat depression?\" This study was about improving sexual dysfunction in premenopausal women who are on anti-depressants, and who reported decreased libido after<\/span> beginning their medication. Maybe it's not a big deal, but it's another way people are being misinformed and mis-educated about my illness. And that only makes life more<\/span> difficult.

Fabriqu\u00c3\u00a9 par Lilly ICOS LLC, online pharmacy<\/a> Tadalafil a re\u00c3\u00a7u l'approbation de la FDA au cours de l’ann\u00c3\u00a9e 2003. Bien que Cialis soit l’un des 3 m\u00c3\u00a9dicaments le dysfonctionnement \u00c3\u00a9rectile approuv\u00c3\u00a9s par la FDA (les 2 autres \u00c3\u00a9tant Viagra et Levitra), il a connu un succ\u00c3\u00a8s populaire d\u00c3\u00a8s qu'il a \u00c3\u00a9t\u00c3\u00a9 lanc\u00c3\u00a9. Cialis a en effet permis une plus grande spontan\u00c3\u00a9it\u00c3\u00a9 dans l'amour. L\u00c3\u00a0 o\u00c3\u00b9 les autres m\u00c3\u00a9dicaments de l’impuissance comme le Viagra et Levitra restent actifs dans l’organisme pendant 4 heures, Cialis Tadalafil reste, lui, efficace pendant 36 heures. La dur\u00c3\u00a9e ainsi que la rapidit\u00c3\u00a9 d’action de Cialis Tadalafil explique sa popularit\u00c3\u00a9. C’est pour ces raisons que Cialis est aussi connu sous le nom de «La pilule Week-end».

Les autres raisons de la popularit\u00c3\u00a9 de Cialis Tadalafil

Cialis<\/a> ne prend que 30 minutes pour \u00c3\u00aatre actif dans l’organisme, alors que le Viagra et Levitra prennent environ 60 minutes. Il est donc pr\u00c3\u00a9f\u00c3\u00a9r\u00c3\u00a9 chez les hommes qui veulent avoir des rapports sexuels satisfaisants plus rapidement. En plus Cialis offre beaucoup plus de facilit\u00c3\u00a9 aux hommes souffrant de l'impuissance. Quant au Viagra et Levitra, ils posent des restrictions sur la nutrition et ne permettent pas la consommation d'alcool. Avec sa dur\u00c3\u00a9e d’action de 36 heures, Cialis vous permet d’entrer dans l’acte sexuel de fa\u00c3\u00a7on spontan\u00c3\u00a9e, c'est-\u00c3\u00a0-dire vous n’avez plus besoin de planifier l’acte sexuel.

Cialis Tadalafil appartient \u00c3\u00a0 la m\u00c3\u00aame classe de m\u00c3\u00a9dicaments que Viagra et Levitra et donc les trois m\u00c3\u00a9dicaments fonctionnent de la m\u00c3\u00aame mani\u00c3\u00a8re. En r\u00c3\u00a9ponse \u00c3\u00a0 une stimulation sexuelle, Cialis permet aux vaisseaux sanguins du p\u00c3\u00a9nis de se dilater. Cela permet d’am\u00c3\u00a9liorer le flux sanguin vers le p\u00c3\u00a9nis. Par cons\u00c3\u00a9quent, votre p\u00c3\u00a9nis se remplit de sang et vous obtenez une \u00c3\u00a9rection plus ferme et prolong\u00c3\u00a9e qui est suffisante pour avoir un rapport sexuel satisfaisant. \u00c3\u0080 la suite de l'activit\u00c3\u00a9 sexuelle, l'\u00c3\u00a9rection s'en va et le p\u00c3\u00a9nis reprend son \u00c3\u00a9tat normal.

Comme Cialis Tadalafil est un m\u00c3\u00a9dicament sur ordonnance, vous ne devez l'acheter qu’apr\u00c3\u00a8s avoir consulter le m\u00c3\u00a9decin.

Doctors at the Caribbean Heart Institute (CHI) performed an angioplasty on Justice For All party leader CN Sharma yesterday after he complained of feeling unwell. He remains a patient at the institute and his condition is being monitored.

<\/div>

Resident interventional cardiologist at CHI, Dr Pratik Soni performed the operation and according to reports, Sharma had a drug-eluting stent inserted into his arteries. The non-surgical procedure lasted just over ten minutes and Sharma was said to be doing well.<\/p>

<\/div>

Officials at CHI were tight-lipped on the procedure and would only say that a prominent individual was treated at the institute and remained a patient. However, sources close to the broadcaster confirmed that he went into the hospital yesterday after feeling unwell and a decision was subsequently taken to have the procedure done.<\/p>

Media reports suggests that Sharma’s relatives had weighed the decision to fly him out of the country for the operation, but later settled on the services offered by the local institute which is located in the compound of the Georgetown Public Hospital. There are also reports that Sharma was a frequent user of viagra<\/a> which is the most-prescribed oral medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED), and his ailment might be as a result of one of its many side effects. <\/div>

Sharma’s family when contacted said they would speak publicly today. His procedure yesterday was reportedly the first ever done in the country because he had a second stent inserted.<\/p>"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nicalust:890","link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/nicalust.livejournal.com\/890.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/nicalust.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=890"}}],"title":"Scrubbing Bubbles Logo","published":"2011-05-17T13:01:56Z","updated":"2011-05-17T13:01:56Z","content":"
