J&J Ejaculation Pill, World’s First, Wins Approvals (Update2)

By Alex Nussbaum
Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Johnson & Johnson won approval in
Sweden and Finland for the first prescription pill to treat
premature ejaculation, three years after U.S. regulators rejected
the drug, the company said.
The drugmaker expects to win clearance for dapoxetine, to be
sold as Priligy, in five more European nations and has applied
for approval in Canada, Australia, Mexico, Turkey and six other
countries, said Greg Panico, a spokesman for New Brunswick, New
Jersey-based J&J, today in a telephone interview. The pill, taken
a few hours before intercourse, should be in European drugstores
by April, he said.
“There’s a globally significant market” for premature
ejaculation treatments, Panico said. He declined to estimate
sales.
Dapoxetine may generate $575 million a year by 2011 for the
company, said Michael Weinstein, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst
in New York, in an Oct. 29 note to clients. It’s one of several
drugs J&J is developing to replace revenue it expects to lose to
generic competition to top-selling medications such as the
antipsychotic Risperdal, he said.

Good news for many women!

[Triana]

1. I'm sure insurance will cover this as it does viagra - but NOT birth control...

...huh.

[mikelgb]

6. they will prolly make an all in one

[Sultana]

7. .

:grr:

[liberal N proud]

16. More likely than not

[Johnboi70]

38. Viagra

My insurance does not cover Viagra. That having been said, ED is a disease and the need for birth control is not. Wellbutrin and HRT are often prescribed to women for loss of libido. Those are more appropriate comparisons than is birth control. My insurance does cover those.

[XemaSab]

67. Let me guess:

You're a man. :eyes:

[Johnboi70]

79. dismissive much?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

80. Let me guess:

You're not. :eyes:

[Ian David]

82. Preventing premature ejaculation CAN BE birth control if you practice pull-and-pray.

Maybe.

[volstork]

2. And yet, cancer,

AIDS, diabetes and heart disease still plague us.
If only the pharm industry had its priorities in the right place...

[Tartiflette]

21. Not fair comparisons

AIDS is a relatively new kid on the block, and much progress has been made, so that life expectancy is dramtically longer now than it was when it first came to the West's attention. (I believe an AIDS vaccine was developed that failed in early trals?). Heart disease and diabetes are extremely difficult, multifactorial issues and far far more money inside and outside the pharma industry is thrown at trying to improve the prognoses for people developing these illnesses than has ever been used in developing a treatment for premature ejaculation. Believe me, big pharma would love nothing more than being able to sell a drug which a patient could use to effectively control heart disease as it would be an enormous money spinner, and all the big companies are investing a lot of time into trying to develop such a treatment. B

[Donnachaidh]

23. it most definitely IS a FAIR comparison

How many people do you know who have DIED from premature ejaculation?

:eyes:

[Hugabear]

31. So you oppose research to help people who suffer from PE?

Just curious what other medical problems you think scientists should stop working on. Given the amount of medical scientists in the world, don't you think it's possible to work on more than one thing at a time?

And while nobody has ever DIED from premature ejaculation, it is a condition that affects many men. What's wrong with people trying to address this problem? It's not as if there aren't thousands of scientists working on the other problems you mentioned.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

51. You probably think Viagra a waste too.

[silverojo]

57. Yes, it is

Though there are instances in which ED is a medical problem, it's usually psychological. Pills are a cover-up for the real problem, in most (though not all) cases. In other words, Big Pharma is just pushing yet another drug to a lot more people than really need it.

What's next, a drug to cover up frigidity in women? Wait, we'll have to come up with a scientific-sounding name for "frigidity", maybe "arousal dysfunction", or "AD" to sound super-cool. Much like how they turned "impotence" into the MANLY sounding "ED". :eyes:

Between overprescribing Viagra/Cialis/etc, and giving dangerous antipsycotics for mere depression, the drug companies are the worst drug pushers of all.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

58. So what should Pfizer have done when Viagra failed it's clinical trial for it's intended purpose?

Should they have just thrown it out even though it proved remarkably successful for the treatment of ED with few side effects, despite the fact that they had spent millions on it? Would they have been fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility to their share holders if they had shelved it even though it would likely be remarkably profitable? I'm sure women who have trouble with frigidity with a partner they love would be happy to see a drug that might let them experience less pain during sex.

David

[Hugabear]

70. Nice to see the callous disregard for legitimate medical problems for men

For some people, ED is psychological, but for many others, it is a very legitimate medical issue.

Ah but what the fuck - it's just men, who cares if a man can't maintain an erection, or enjoy intimacy with his partner. Nobody has to have sex, right?

[Bake]

74. So then we only do research on fatal diseases, right?

Do they have to be immediately fatal, or what about the ones where you linger for a few years before you die?

Bake

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

77. Strangely enough that's how Viagra came about.

[SteelPenguin]

83. You should educate yourself a little bit on how the process works

People like to say that the companies, and scientists, have their priorities in the wrong place because they develop drugs like say Viagra. However Viagra was developed as a drug to treat Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, and Heart Disease....is that something that's ok to develop a drug for? They found out in testing that it had little effect on Angina but instead did....well what it's now famous for.

Is it wrong that they marketed a drug for erectile dysfunction (I hate that term)? Their priority was heart disease, but they found a drug that treated something else.

I'm willing to bet there's a similar story with this drug.

[rcrush]

3. No more Jizz in my Pants?

:cry:

[KansDem]

10. Reminds me of a Rodney Dangerfield joke...

I went to see my doctor who told me he wanted me to have a complete physical. He said he wanted a stool sample, a urine sample, and a semen sample. So I left him my underwear and went home!

:rofl:

[Skittles]

61. JAYSUS RCRUSH

IMMEDIATE ASS-KICKING SCHEDULED

[NaturalHigh]

4. I've never understood that term.

Premature to what?

[panader0]

8. LOL I get mine, you want yours you better hurry up!

[Bigmack]

17. "Honey, this is going to be fun...

... wasn't it?"

[One_Life_To_Give]

46. Less than 1 minute typical

While it could mean anything sooner that what the individual might like. Clinically I believe it is less than 2 minutes. With typical times for sufferers of less than 1 minute. And for some its a few seconds. Never heard if any women having this but I suppose they might not complain if they did.

[GoesTo11]

5. What happened to thinking about baseball?

[panader0]

9. Don't think about football

It's got "penetration" and "tight ends" and "red zones"

[derby378]

11. Balls, turf, going deep, third base - you do the math

:rofl:

[GoesTo11]

12. you all got such a dirty mind

everything is sexual if you try really hard to see it that way

no wonder they need a drug

[derby378]

18. Well, there's always tiddlywinks...

:hi:

[Ikonoklast]

39. To be more specific, the Infield Fly Rule.

That usually was good for a half hour, at least.




:P

[dipsydoodle]

13. I recall hearing a long time ago

that toothpaste is the best remedy as it contains a mild anaesthetic.

Yes - I know ..........you can brush her teeth at the same time. :)

[ChromeFoundry]

14. So what happens if you...

Take one of these...
One Viagra...
Two cans of Red Bull...

LOL

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. You win a popularity contest.

[ChromeFoundry]

36. sharp increase in KY sales!

[slackmaster]

15. Practice cured that for me by the time I was about 20

:D

[rcrush]

20. Title of thread said "Ejaculation Pill" made me think of a pill that makes you ejaculate.

Which I dont know if I would like or would hate.

[ismnotwasm]

22. And just what is wrong

With simply practicing tantric sex? No instant gratification? Oh, wait..

[peoli]

27. its kind of disturbing to see Steven Hawling next to the words Tantric Sex...

[ismnotwasm]

30. Well, you never know now do you?

Actually I was thinking of a specific um, technique.

[Dappleganger]

24. And this is why The Villages

is the STD capital of Florida.

[Mari333]

25. side effects may include

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

26. Another great scientific triumph completely lost on me.

I live in a town that has potentially available women that come in the following classifications:

1. Jailbait

2. 3 teeth and the shape of a pear

3. Insane

4. Alcoholic

5. Married

6. Drug Addicted

7. Any combination of the above

And I ain't lyin' or engaging in hyperbole. This is socio-sexual equivalent of The Gulag Archipelago.

I mean, I consider the mere existence of Viagra and its siblings nothing but a cruel joke.

[Autonomy]

28. You live in central Delaware too?

But seriously, you forgot:

8. More tattoos than teeth

9. Six kids by the time they are 18

10. Amish (this only applies to some areas, including central Delaware)

[jberryhill]

71. Naww....

3 teeth sounds like a lot for Hartly.

[Hardrada]

32. Here one could add:

Fundie repugs

Aggressive "pro-lifer" women (not all of whom are repugs)

Chain smoking multiple divorcees

High maintenance Eurotrash

[Missy Vixen]

37. I guess I have to wonder

what it is some of you guys want, besides a combination of Rachael Ray and Scarlett Johanssen.

Then again, I realize that women over 40 start taking on pear shape, and are no longer desirable, are they? :sarcasm:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

55. I invite you...

To come to the little town I live in. You will immediately understand my plight.

[Missy Vixen]

64. Tandalayo, I'm not doubting you

I hope that someone nice comes along soon. I also hope she has the characteristics you're looking for, and is smart enough to vote Democratic.

I'm over 40 and pear-shaped. Luckily, I still have all my teeth. ;-)

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

69. Well, you see!

You are already miles ahead of the game!

It's not the shape of a pear that bothers me as much as the three rust color teeth. They usually go with a raspy voice not unlike that of the actress from "Throw Mama from The Train".

It's like the whole effect. :scared:

[Lucky Luciano]

63. Is Rachel Ray considered sexy on some planets? nt

[jberryhill]

72. No

Scarlett Johannsen is. Rachael Ray can cook.

[Bake]

75. Holy crap, where do you LIVE?????

Note to self: wherever it is, avoid it.

:hi:

Bake

[alfredo]

29. Scotch always worked for me.

[L0oniX]

33. I guess the teens will be into that.

[madrchsod]

34. cool..... a sex post in "latest breaking news"

there are other medications and techniques to stop premature ejaculation....

can i say "boner" in latest breaking news?

[Hardrada]

35. Isn't that a GOP congressman?

[NaturalHigh]

40. No, you may not say boner.

It is never permissable to type out the word "boner" in LBN. Boner is verboten.

[Lucky Luciano]

53. Well, it is good to know if you are investing with JNJ. nt

Ready, but not too ready..

There are tons of other pills to get..."UP" that are on the market besides Viagra. Just never take Ginseng on its own, its gives you wild hallucinations and fast heartbeats, and never watch a horror movie after taking it. :rofl: My husband (then boyfriend) will never ever live that one down!

85. One small step for men, one giant leap for womankind

It will be a very simple drug to prescribe, too...just issue one of those preprinted prescription slips to anyone whose wife drags him into the office by the ear. No fucking guy is going to walk into the doctor and admit he's done in thirty seconds, but his wife sure as hell will.

I just hope these are cheap, so even lower-income wives can finally have orgasms.
